Blisters on Nipples

[Kmn]

Does your DS have any blisters on his hands or feet or mouth? Hand-and-foot-and-mouth disease can transfer to nipples, and it's not much fun.

Otherwise I think you need to ask him to really open wide for you, so that at least a different area is being attacked.

A bit of lanolin before/after feeds and after showering might help sooth and lubricate them. I had some in hospital because DS and I weren't in sync with latching first up and they were painful. the lanolin worked a treat

Could it be thrush? I've got it again - DD is on Penicillin

It might be milk blister. Mine was kinda yellow. Really, really hurt. Is the pain just on the blister?

It's more the whole nipple MadB. They have cleared up now, I think DS managed to pop it but it hurt like no tomorrow to feed him

My nipples are still really sensitive/sore and I have a sore spot on my left boob, from the nipple to the outer edge, but I've been putting that down to pregnancy??

Sore nipples are common during pregnancy. Pain elsewhere though could be something else

Sore nipples is one thing, but to HAVE a sore is probably something else.
Is your DS on AB's, or has he been?
I've currently got a section of areola covered in small blisters and feeding from it hurts like hell. So, I haven't let DD feed from it today - which I'm gonna have to deal with, but can't stand the idea of the suction of the pump! Might have to hand express.
I'd go see a GP about it, to take a swab and have it tested.
