He started with the thrush then I got it and then I had an infection at the same time. I had open sores on both sides now have almost healed still nursing but the side that had infection he is really fussy on when nursing and it feels like it is burning inside between each feeding and not as much milk as before all this started. Not sure what to do Any hints? He is only 9 weeks and no problems till now btw his thrush is gone mine is almost we are both on nystatin still also and I have an antibiotic for a couple more days yet

ya it sounds like mastitis (I've had it 2 times now and my baby is also 9 weeks). Just know that depending on the antibiotic that you're on it may cause the thrush to come back. be extra careful with that. http://www.kellymom.com/bf/concerns/mom/...
