Nipple blanching

edited September 2014 in Breastfeeding
Hi ladies,
I'm 3 weeks into bfing and one of my nipples keeps getting really achey and sore and when I look at it it is all white. It seems to be bothered by just the pressure of my bra and the cold. His latch seems fine but that side definitely hurts more sharply during the initial latch than the other side (then the pain subsides after the first few seconds).
I've looked this up but am confused by some of the information I've found.
Anyone experience this and / or want to break it down for me?
Thanks!

ETA, I don't think it's thrush because it quickly turns pink again once I remove the pressure (ie my bra, including fairly loose fitting sleep bras so I don't think the bra itself is the issue).
