Pain while nursing toddler  

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
Help! For the last 3 days or so when I nurse my 15 month old my nipples hurt so bad! It's not mastitis and I'm not pregnant. Is there any other reason why this would happen suddenly after 15 months of nursing??!?!? She has increased her frequency a bit, but not enough to explain this pain and I've been having periods since she was 5 months old so it can't be just hormones can it?? Any input welcome!

Could she be teething? Also when dd hurt I usually found that it was because she was looking around or moving her head when she nursed so that those top teeth pushed against the nipple.

good luck!

Have either one of you been on antibiotics recently? If so, I'd read up on thrush.
