I am not sure if this is the problem - it could be deep breast pain due
to stretching of the Coopers ligaments. I see this occasionally with
women with inverted nipples. From experience it takes about few weeks to
settle.

Hi All,
I would appreciate any input. I have a mom I worked with at 6 days
old, she
was complaining of sore breasts when the baby sucked. At that point,
latch
looked good, no pinched nipple or anything, oral anatomy was fine, I
got the
feeling she was extra sensitive and feeling the milk come through the
ducts
or something along those lines. I was sure it would get better, and
gave
her support to stick it out. It did get better and totally went away
by
about 3 weeks. Baby has been gaining weight beautifully. She just
now
called me back that her baby is three months old and the pain started
again.
It is only when the baby sucks, in the breast, not the nipple, no
visible
signs of thrush. Pain stops when baby stops eating. Pain is not
related to
how full or empty the breast is, but she does say it is worse at
night.
She has not gotten her period. It still hurts when she pumps, but not
as
much. I am stumped. Anyone have any insight?
