Burning nipples

What is up with this? They don't constantly burn but at random times they'll just start burning like crazy. Anyone else experience this?

 

Re: Burning nipples

  • It could be nothing. Are they discolored at all? Any cracking? That's one of the symptoms of thrush, but check with your doc.

  • Mine were itchy burning and my LC friend said it may be that I need to express a little more milk or it may be when let down happens. Also, I've noticed that when I get cold and the nips get hard it's a ridiculous amount of pain. Gotta keep the ladies warm!

  • Mine are bright pink and itchy. It also hurts and burns when FS initially latches. They are actually more itchy when I wear a bra and pads. I think I have thrush.
  • Mine burn/kill when she latches for a min then it goes away after a bit. No clue if it's normal. When I'm done nursing mine will sometimes burn but I got the all purpose nipple cream from my OB which helps a bit.

    Did you do all the cutting sugar and hanging out topless in the sun things?
    Nope. We don't get sun here in NY and I already cut soy and dairy so I can't give up sugar too. I take probiotics, ordered the Motherlove thrush cream, will start apple cider vinegar washes, talk to the Dr. on Tuesday.

    @soozerella I wish you luck too. Hopefully your boobs recover soon!
  • Are they a little more red and is this new?

    Yes it is new, but I don't think they are more red than usual..

     

  • Are you wearing pads? Mine get itchy when it's getting moist in there and I need fresh booby bibs.

    Yes I am wearing pads. That definitely could be it.
