Hi Sue,

Sorry to hear your experiencing these things i wish i could help you out but i am new to the whole breastfeeding thing myself (as you know). I am also getting that toe curling pain when bubby latches onto my left breast, it doesnt last the whole feed but i will be interested to hear what some more experienced breastfeeders have to say.

Oh i had thrush under my breast throughout most of my pregnancy but i didn't know that it was thrush until i was actually in the delivery suite and asked the midwives, they told me to use canasten(sp?) and it has worked a treat.

Can't wait to catch up with you and lil Evie
