A member asked:

What causes thrush on the nipples while breastfeeding and should it cause the entire breast to become painful? how can i prevent it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nipple yeast: Thrush in a nursing infant's mouth can transmit the infection to mother's nipples causing redness, cracking and pain. This infection however, does not generally involve the entire breast. Another cause for this breast pain should be considered.
