The last few days when I get a letdown while b/f I get a really sharp pain in my back. In the past I've sometimes had back pain but nothing as sore as this. When I express (which I do daily) I dont get the pain. Should I be worried? ------------- http://alterna-tickers.com">

I *think* thrush can cause that??? I think I read that somewhere! Although not sure if it would be specifically during let-down...hmmm maybe ring your local LLL? -------------

Does it ease off once he is feeding????? From what I have heard thrush is painful at latch then after feed has finished. When I had it I would get the pain after expressing.
Oh and yeah Floyd for bf!!!!! -------------

My Dr said MWs diagnose thrush all the time when it probably isn't.
Do both breasts hurt at the same time? My let down is sometimes painful, and every now and then I get an 'odd' pain throughout my chest, but on one side only. I've been tested for thrush and didn't have it. Got better after 8 wks, but you're well past that. Any chance that it's posture while feeding? |
