Shooting pains that start in the breast and go into the nipple.
What you experience: This type of pain either goes away within a few minutes or lasts during and after the nursing session.
The likely cause: Normal let-down or thrush.
Normal let-down is often described as "pins and needles" or a brief shooting pain that goes away once the milk lets-down. You can tell that the milk has let-down by a change in baby's suckle (it goes from small, frequent tongue and jaw movements to long, slower jaw and tongue movements along with the sound of baby swallowing).
By contrast, thrush pain lasts throughout the nursing session and even afterward; it does not go away with let-down.
What to do: If this type of pain is caused by normal let-down, try counting or breathing deeply and know that it will pass quickly. Over time, the pain associated with let-down should fade and possibly even disappear entirely. If the pain persists, it could be caused by thrush and you need to treat both yourself and your baby aggressively. Follow the tips that appear later in this article.

1) let down?
or
2) Thrush? (this one can be counter-confirmed if u checked ur bb's tongue.. will have a white patch there which cannot be removed even when u give bb some water to sip to rinse)
if let down, then have to endure till the milk ducts have expanded sufficiently.. to accomodate the rush of milk.
if it is thrush.. u have to take antibiodics (safe for bf-ing), and bb need to get a cream to remove that white patch. it will spread from mother to kid to and fro untill one of them gets treated..

Thrush. Thrush is another term for "yeast infection". It's usually caused by mom or baby having taken an antibiotic, which creates an imbalance of bacteria in the body. Help avoid this by taking probiotics whenever you or baby is on an antibiotic. Symptoms include shooting pain that lasts long into the nursing session and/or after baby's done nursing; pink/red nipples; and itchy or burning nipples. There are also symptoms that could appear in your baby such as a bad diaper rash or white patches in baby's mouth that don't wipe off.
It is very important that both you and your baby are treated at the same time. Otherwise you will keep passing the yeast back and forth to each other. There are a variety of treatments -- some are natural home remedies like gentian violet, and other remedies such as Nystatin or All-Purpose Nipple Ointment (APNO) require a prescription. APNO contains both antifungal and antibacterial ingredients, as well as a steroid for inflammation. It sounds like something you wouldn't want your baby to ingest but, in fact, it's perfectly safe and doesn't even need to be washed off before nursing. Note that it has to be made by a pharmacist and not all pharmacies make it. If your doctor or midwife doesn't know, your local pharmacist should be able to get you in touch with the nearest "compounding pharmacy."
