LO is 8 months and suddenly it is hurting to feed her or pump. No teeth and I would swear her latch hasn't changed. I've probably been lazy about her latch since she's older but after a few days of sharp nipple pain I've been super careful about her latch. Pumping is painful too. Nothing about our routines have changed. Milk output is typical for me.
Any ideas on what I can do to fix this?

@CatchAFallingStar: not impossible but basically impossible- plus would be like 5 DPO right now

That happened when my middle child was 8 months. I was not pregnant that I know of, but I still have no idea what that was about. It lasted a couple of weeks.
Maybe test just to be sure, though...

Have you gotten your period back?
With both mine I’d get intense sharp pains around ovulation and before I got my period. It was agony when I got my first pp period and I was worried it was thrush despite neither of us being on antibiotics.

@newlypregnantlady: Yes I've had a few cycles. Weird timing for ovulation but I'm not tracking it atm. How long did your pains last?
@peaches1038: This would be bad news. Neither of us shows outward symptoms.

@Clementine12: for me it was about 7-9 days for the first pp period and then after that maybe 4-5 days? With the pain decreasing throughout the week but being quite painful for probably 3-4 days. And I’d get the pain around ovulation basically until I stopped nursing. But it wasn’t as bad as time went on.

Plot twist - I've had a fever on and off this weekend and feel terrible. Been googling breast pain and COVID symptoms. Of course I have no sick leave because mat leave is a sham.
I'll be doing a telehealth appt ASAP to hopefully figure out what to do. Now I'm wondering if this could be mastitis? No physical symptoms though.
Maybe I'm just hoping its mastitis

@Clementine12: I think it is mastitis as well. I hope you can figure it out and feel better soon!

No mastitis per the doc. Getting a COVID test tonight. With a 5-7 turn around time. Had to tell my childcare to take the week off.
