What Is The Cause Of Red Bumps In My Nipple And White Bubbles In The Baby's Mouth?

hi I am breastfeeding my 8 month old son and I discovered some small red bumps around my nipples and they are really itchy also my baby has developed some kind of white bubbles which are peeling off in the inside of his lips. Should we look for medical advice?
Thanks

Hi...the red bumps which are itchy could be an allergy. But the white bubbles and patches in the baby's mouth could be a fungal infection. I suggest you seek the medical attention of a pediatrician.
