Breastfeeding pain
Hey all! I'm currently breastfeeding my 2nd (6 month old) and have pretty bad pain in one breast all of a sudden. Its tender to the touch and sore...it doesn't feel like a clogged duct when I touch it...i loaded up on sunflower lecithen and motrin this morning, massaged, warm bath and ice pack....idk anything else to try or how long to wait for it to subside? Really don't want to go to the doctor if I can avoid the hassle
I'd keep doing ice packs and keep breastfeeding from that side. Newer research supports cold therapy for clogged ducts rather than heat. I'm not sure what else it could be if it came on suddenly. Mine would take a few days sometimes to resolve. As always, trust your gut and call the doctor if it isn't improving.
