Dont' worry... it's actually a yeast infection. I had it with my first daughter. The biggest symptoms we had was, she had little white spots inside of her mouth and I was having pain and bleeding while I was pumping. Your pedi probably wont' even ask to see you just give an antibiotic for her.
The biggest pain is that you have to sterilize everything often. I suggest getting a microwave sterilizer as it makes the job much faster and easier. Rest easy, mama! It's not horrible, and I don't think it really hurts baby at all either!
Well if you're not using bottles at all - I was back to work and pumping, then you don't need to worry. If you are using a pacifier, that should be sterilzied often, if you pump at all, then your pump parts need to be sterizlied.
It was about 4 years ago, so I'm not quite sure, but I want to say that we had to go through the sterilizing process for about 2 weeks or so.

Get Gentian Violet from local pharmacy. Paint your nipple with it, then nurse baby. Do it a few times a day. Heads up tho, it's purple and it stains! lol, but it's one of the best ways of getting rid of it!
Thank you for your info and for the heads up... For how many days?
Kellymom.com has more info on it :)
