My midwife & gp both think it's thrush from what I've described & because I've been taking ab's. But Anna, you've got me convinced I have vasospasm! I guess I could have both? I've got Diflucan tablets as well as Daktarin gel as this is what my midwife and gp told me to get...I haven't started taking them though and I'm concerned because the packet for the Diflucan says not to take when breast-feeding and that it's for vaginal thrush and the packet for the Daktarin says not to use for infants under 6 months! My gp reassured me that it was fine, but I'm still worried

Miss C, it hurts when he first attaches but then the pain subsides, although I'd still say it remains uncomfortable and slightly painful. When he comes off my nipple is usually round and in good shape but sometimes if he's pulled off a bit beforehand then my nipple can look misshapen and pinched. And yes the white look on the nipple goes away after a while.

I've also noticed DS has a red blister type thing on the tip of his tongue. He doesn't appear to be in any pain/discomfort though. What could this be from? I know he has a very strong suck, as that's what I've been told by numerous midwives when I had attachment problems.

Anna, I've always had really sensitive nipples too - it's really not helping!!

ANyway, I guess I'm just wanting to know if I should take the thrush treatment or is there any harm in taking it even if I don't have thrush? Or should I just wait it out and assume it's vasospasm...I'm going to call the ABA tomorrow and see what they say but would like to know everyone's thoughts as well

Thanks so much for all the advice.
