We have a 4 week old and my wife is breastfeeding. She has been to 3 different lactation consultants and 3 different doctors. She has been prescribed meds for both a breast yeast infection and mastitis, but still has the pain. She has had the pain ever since the first few days after delivering. The pain is a constant burning/aching throughout both breasts all the time. No engorgement. She nurses every 3 hours. She wants to continue breastfeeding, but the pain is becoming overwhelming. Our newborn does have a tight latch and occasionally bites down, but the pain is not just at the nipple but throughout.
Any help/insight/experience with this is deeply appreciated. Happy Holidays.
