  While I was rounding at the hispital today a local clinic sent a mother 
over who was said to be having minor issues....that was putting it lightly.
1) mom winced with every move that caused large breasts to move as well
2) evidence of fissure on left breast, minor though
3) evidence of beginning some issues on right breast ver minor
4) barracuda latch, but beautifully on, no mouth issues or palate ssues 
apparent
5) bright pink and red!
6) describes as needle going into breast on right side, could not even 
attempt on left..pain even after done feeding persists as burn, etc

mom says she was prine to vaginal yeast infections before PG, no antibios 
on delivery or after and baby had no signs of thrush yet...sent mom to WIC 
to get breat pump, told dad to get her some sort of nipple product for 
healing and to call doc (after I left message about possible thrush. Her 
pain just did not add up for the baby doign so well (weight is awesome) and 
she literally was crying with teasrs streaking down her face when her left 
side was even touched by a hand (her own when she took her bra down)

I told her to please get a follow up appt with the IBCLC at WIC or call and 
I would see her again while doing rounds on Monday (and gave her number for 
weekend if has questions)...any other guesses besides a bad thrush??? I was 
floored at the pain she was in, but she was dedicated...thanks for the info!
