Thanks to all who have chimed in about the nipple vasospasms and pregnancy.  I'm hoping that, if pregnancy is the factor that is exacerbating things, perhaps when baby is born the degree of vasospasming may improve (fingers crossed!).

Anyway, mom is bound and determine to keep on nursing this one and then to tandem nurse despite her discomforts!  

Will recommend the hand warmers, not sure why I didn't think of that, I use those for my raynauds all the time - albeit my raynauds effects my fingers not my breasts!

Thanks,
