...weeks.? My nipples are very sore but the problem is my right breast. I have excruciating shooting pains when feeding. The doctor says it is not thrush. What else can it be. It is putting me off feeding on the right side. I do not want to give up breast feeding at this early stage but it is really hurting me. Any advice.

ask your gp to check it out. sometimes the milk can harden causing mastitis. not nice.

i would return to doctors and if they cant help and it continues i would switch to a bottle why put up with such pain?youve done it for 5 weeks well done dont feel bad if you have to stop now
