<She describes the pain as "inside the breast" and "burning", especially at latch-on. > Dare I say.... sounds like thrush to me. She's had months of feeding well and recently had a course of antibiotics. You won't necessarily see thrush in the baby's mouth or elsewhere. Mastitis and dermatitis should be excluded - but if this was an exam question, I'd be answering thrush.
