Just to add on to Idza's points, here are some of the symptoms of nipple thrush : Experienced by the mother - red or pink shiny skin (on the nipple) that usually itches, and may flake or peel - there may be tiny blisters - severe stinging, burning pain on the surface of the nipple (but could also be felt deep inside the breast) - may also get symptoms of vaginal yeast infection Experienced by the baby - creamy white spots or patches inside the mouth - baby may be fussy, gassy and sucking may be uncomfortable for him/her - red/bright pink rash may also be found in baby’s diaper area If you are having nipple thrush, you can try the following to help ease the symptoms of the infections on your nipple: - Nurse frequently for shorter amounts of time, start nursing on the least sore side. - After nursing, rinse the nipples with a solution of one cup of water mixed with one tablespoon of vinegar. Air dry well. - Wash hands often (before and after nursing, after using the bathroom, and before or after changing the baby’s diaper). Use hot, soapy water and paper towels. - Decrease consumption of foods containing high amounts of sugar and/or yeast (such as beer, wine, sodas, bread, desserts, etc.).

Breast or nipple thrush can be linked to a history of vaginal thrush, recent use of antibiotics or nipple damage. Breastfeeding presents itself as the perfect environment for thrush. Thrush thrives in warm, moist, sugary places, which is exactly what your baby’s mouth is like during breastfeeding. The thrush infection can then pass to your nipples. Thrush will easily happen if your nipples are already sore or cracked because your baby is nor latching on well. Unless thrush is treated, it can pass back and forth between you and your baby http://www.babycentre.co.uk/a8486/breastfeeding-and-thrush#ixzz416jKu7Oh.
