Sounds like mastitis for sure! Definitely call your OB
Thrush also causes pain
@Nicole So I pump every 3 hours and I nurse on demand all throughout the day. The heat is pretty localized in one area :/
I was having this issue Hurt so bad I think it was the pump 24 cup I couldn’t even put baby on me
That sounds like thrush
I just experienced this and it was diagnosed as thrush. Check your baby’s mouth. If you see white spots on the roof of the mouth or tongue that’s a pretty good indicator it’s thrush. Our pediatrician prescribed a topical ointment that has been helping. Good luck!
I’m going to vote Thrush because I currently have it too and yes it’s a strong burning pain in nipples. My nips were red too. My midwife gave me a pretty nice nipple cream with nystatin. The white patches in mouth will tell you the difference.
That sounds like mastitis. I would definitely call your OB! You could also have the wrong flange size for your pump. But pain + warmth makes me think mastitis.
