Hi - I'm working with a mom who is breastfeeding her third child, now
three weeks old. She has been complaining of nipple pain since the
beginning, and stopped nursing her first child at 1 week because of this
same pain. The nipple tip gets a white/blanched stripe across the tip
immediately after nursing, and this happens even when pumping. What is
the treatment for this? nifedipine? How does one get an ob/gyn to
prescribe that? Is there a good reference? Is there anything to try
before medications!!! Thanks! janna z in w. htfd. ct
