Raynaud´s phenomenon of the nipple is a pathology precipitated by exposure to cold and leads to intermittent vasospasm of arterioles, producing clinical symptoms of pain, burning and paresthesias. This condition is a treatable cause of painful breastfeeding that can affect up to 1 in 5 women of childbearing age. If misdiagnosed, it can occasionally lead to cessation of breastfeeding due to its uncomfortable symptomatology.

Keywords : Raynaud Disease; Breast Feeding.
