Sore Nipples while Breastfeeding

August 26th, 2008

Nipple pain is the most common complaint among lactating women. Here’s a look at what could be causing your discomfort and how to get relief.

Nipple Pain

  • It's important to seek help as soon as you begin experiencing sore nipples in order to prevent the situation from getting worse.
  • Nipple pain caused by a poor latch is usually immediate and often subsides during feeding.
  • If the pain is burning or stabbing and does not decrease as feeding progresses, you may have a yeast infection known as Candida or thrush.
  • Vasospasm of the nipple occurs when the nipple turns white and there is a burning or throbbing pain immediately after feeding.
  • Chronic nipple pain can be a sign of a new pregnancy.

Despite your best intentions, the stabbing pain in your nipples may make you want to give up on breastfeeding. Nipple pain is the most common complaint among lactating women, but nursing should not be a painful process. "Prolonged stabbing or irritating nipple pain is not normal," says Dr. Christina Valentine, medical advisor for Neonatal Nutrition and Lactation at Columbus Children's Hospital. The earlier you catch a problem, the easier it is to fix. To view the full story click here.
