I hope it clears up for you fast! we battled thrush for a week then good for a few days then it came back. Both me & baby had it, but we both got a prescription & I made sure to sterilize the binkys & change nursing pads a lot. It's frustrating, but hang in there!

![]() I fed her twice using the shield, the first time went well but I noticed the tip of my nipple felt sore after. I fed her again and right after feeding a huge milk blister popped up.

![]() Here's the thread if you want to view it: http://www.diaperswappers.com/forum/....php?t=1481548 I called my LC and she thinks that either I am putting my nipple in crooked or that it's being pulled through the holes. She's suggested I try a few more times making sure my nipple is centered well and see if the damage gets worse. And then if it gets worse I'll know that it's being sucked through the holes and that we will discuss another option.

Well I've figured out the problem. I fed her with the nipple shield and when I took it off my nipple had four raised bumps on the end. I am definitely being pulled through the holes at the end. ![]()

Re: Nipple Shield question.
FYI, if you're giving her your pumped milk, you aren't saving her from thrush. Thrush is easily transferred onto your pump/parts and in your milk. Better to treat you both and get it all done in one fell swoop. Switching back and forth from bottle to breast is hard for some babies. More practice will be frustrating but should help in the long run. And if you need a morale boost, contact La Leche League. They'll pump you up and make you feel like you can do anything!

Re: Nipple Shield question.
Just be careful! My 4 month old still uses the Nipple Shield! I can't get her to nurse without it. She will scream until I put it on. I'd rather nurse with it that not at all, but I've really grown to hate the thing!
