DS2 is 13 months old and for the last week both nipples have been really sore when he nurses and even in the shower when the water touches them. I got really sore about a month ago too, but it was only on one side and it turned into a much deeper pain which I think was a blocked duct (lasted about 3 days). The soreness kinda feels like the soreness I had when DS and I had thrush when he was just born. But I had been battling yeast for a lot of my pregnancy so I wasn't surprised when he got thrush then. We treated it with grapefruit seed extract and haven't had a problem since and I haven't had any yeast infections either. DS doesn't have any signs of thrush though-- no white patches in his mouth or yeast diaper rash and neither of us have been on antibiotics. My periods started back when DS was 5 WEEKS old and I've been on the minipill since 6 weeks postpartum. My next AF is due in 5 days, although sometimes it's a little wonky due to the minipill. DS has 8 teeth, but doesn't have any new ones coming in and doesn't seem to be teething.
Anyone else have soreness suddenly develop in both nipples and what was the cause?

) and I saw that he needed to really press his lips together to get the water out. And he was just doing the same thing when he nursed. Good for the sippy cup, bad for my nipples! lol Now, I'm just really careful to make sure he has a good latch when he nurses.
