<_< I ended up googling thrush and finding out that it was indeed the infection that Danny has, but it's been being called spuur here. Damn the language barriers, things like these usually sound at least somewhat similar in English and Dutch! The symptoms were the same, but everyone was saying that it could "sometimes effect breastfeeding and make it uncomfortable", and from what I'd heard before about thrush (which isn't much) was that one of it's main characteristics was to make baby's mouth and momma's nipples hurt like hell.

>.> So there's that.

On a good note, he was pretty hungry this morning, and so despite my anxiety, he latched on (twice even!) in one try, and it only hurt (albeit like HELL) for a few seconds before it started calming down. Best bfing session we've had so far He ate like a lil pig and then slept for four hours! XD

Thanks for your help and insight ladies, this isn't the end of the pain of course, but at least there seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel. Lori, it sounds like you had one hell of a time D: Bet it's a relief that it's finally over. I can't waiiit until the thrush goes away, I really want to enjoy this time with him, while he's still so small.
