Roxanne, I doubt this is yeast since it has been going on during her  
pregnancy.  I would strongly recommend you send her to a dermatologist and  have the 
nipples examined.  The hydrocortisone she was using during  pregnancy may not 
have been strong enough to treat the problem properly but only  a 
dermatologist should prescribe something stronger and follow her.
I think this plan would help save her breastfeeding experience.   Holding off 
a derm referral with experimenting with other treatments may make  matters 
worse for her and lead to an early weaning.
Hope she can resolve this problem.
