With Sadie I was plagued with clogged ducts (finally figured out that when I pulled over my stretchy sleep bra to feed, the fabric was pressing on my ducts and caused the problem). I can't imagine it being worse than that and the initial nipple pain. Praying this seriously intense intervention will nip (haha) it in the bud.

Briefly, I had a small nipple fissure that was VERY painful whenever C nursed. I had to stop nursing on that side for 1-2 days and pump. My doctor called in a "magic" triple ointment recommended by the lactation consultant. It had an anti-fungal, an antibiotic and something else in it. It healed up so fast after I got that ointment and gave it time to heal. (Plus C's latch finally got better by the 2nd week.) I am so thankful it didn't turn into mastitis or thrush. But that side still makes way less milk than the other. I have no idea how you were able to maintain your supply through all of this. Good job, mommy! <br />Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03006813088298855252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6273215698103493492.post-66198361843901853012012-12-12T14:22:18.008-05:002012-12-12T14:22:18.008-05:00Wow this makes me wonder if that was not my issue ...Wow this makes me wonder if that was not my issue with my second son. I was so engorged and yet he could not seem to get anything, not even if I pumped. But the pain you describe and the itchy nipples I had all of that. I finally switched to formula because he was losing too much weight but spent WEEKS suffering from the mastitis as they called it and my water bill was through the roof because I would spend all my time under hot water in the shower trying to get them to go down.

Thanks for posting about it - I'm sure it will help other moms, and I feel informed as I'd never heard of thrush (I haven't read a whole lot on breastfeeding yet in my life, but will need to, I hope). I will be praying for your strength and recovery. So thankful God has allowed you to be home while walking through this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
