Natalie,
I wander if biofeedback would help? It can be used for warming particular
areas of the body, consciously. I started using what are really biofeedback
techniques, at age 14, several years before I first heard of biofeed in my
youth, to warm my upper arms (which made the rest of me feed warm) if I
didn't have a coat and the wind sprang up. There are machines to help learn
it, e.g. warming hands for sufferers with migraine used to be common, but
what I taught myself to do was simpler - to massage my upper arms, and
eventually just a fingertip touch on the upper arms had the same effect.
For this mother, it might be worth investigating biofeedback with a
physiotherapist.

Subject: "Zinging" feeling in nipple/breast and exposure to cold
PTP, I have a client with a 6 day old baby. She developed symptoms of
mastitis yesterday. But she is describing another sensation, an
electrical/zinging sensation that begins in the nipple and radiates
outwards. Of course we think of raynaud's or vasospasms. It does happen in
relation to cold, but the cold does not have to be to the breast. This will
happen if her face gets cold or exposed to a cold draft, though the
sensation is still on the breast. Once it begins, she reports it tends to
keep happening. She will also feel chilled, shaking, feverish. I am not sure
if they are related to the sensation, or that is the mastitis symptoms or a
combination. No medications but does take supplements, no history of
raynauds or similar symptoms, no history of breast or back trauma, currently
has experienced some nipple trauma. I am having her observe for any color
changes, apply warmth, keep warm, rest, addressing latch issues.
