Breast pain
I am 5 months in to EBF. My 2nd time breast feeding. And the lower half of one of my breasts is really sore, never felt this before. My breast doesn't feel, engorged or hot, just really sore..... Any thoughts? Never had mastitis, could this be?

@Eleri it's not even my nipple that hurts! I've breast fed for a long time and never felt this feeling 🙁 thanks though x
I hope you’re feeling better now, the milk ducts are deep in your boobs so if one blocks it’s generally like an inner feeling than on the nipple itself. My mum said that a cabbage leaf in the bra helps (no idea but she swears by it!)
@Eleri thanks for checking in ☺️ yes pain took about 3 days to go, but all seems fine now. x

It’s possibly a blocked duct, the best way to solve it is get your baby to feed on that side as much as you can get them to because they are the best way (much more affective than pumping) to get a duct unblocked. You can try different positions for latching if the soreness persists, it could be the latch on that side isn’t quite right. Don’t give up it will be ok!
