Why are breasts sensitive now while breastfeeding?
I have been feeding my baby for 8 months and now my breasts are sensitive when I have a let down, in the breast and at the nipple. I’ve had clogged milk ducts and mastitis before so I know it’s not that. Is this just par for the course?
I have not had a period yet and he’s been on solids for 4 months now.
Strong let-down can give that type of feeling. Nursing more often can help decrease that feeling.
Also, pain or burning or throbbing pain (at any time of the nursing session) can be a sign of thrush. For ideas of treatment, see the link below.
Also, a sudden increase of pain could be the very first sign of pregnancy.
