Hi,
Dark dicoloration in underarms, breast you have seen. It must be out of fungal infection. Skin anti-fungal ointments can be applied to the area but it must not enter babies mouth, clean it well before feeding.
In case of no effect within 3 months, start with oral anti-fungal with a dermatologists advise while you start top feeds to baby.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
