So I breast feed my baby, and I've gotten to where I only pump now, but earlier when I pumped, my left breast didn't pump as much as normal, and now it hurts pretty bad. Any ideas of what could be wrong?

could you have a clogged duct? I know that happens sometimes.

Massage you breast under really hot water in the shower often and don't stop pumping, even though it may hurt. If that doesn't help you may need an antibiotic.

Will actually breast feeding help too?

Also if you breast feed aim the babies mouth toward the hard or sore spot. Also vibration like the bottom of an electric toothed rush can help break up a clog and hot shower as hot as you can take it on the area. Pumping or feeding should suck it out. Massage !! The only way a dr visit or antibiotic is necessary is if it turns to mastitis . You'll have flu like symptoms and a fever of 101+ pretty much you will feel like death. You'll breast will be very hard , red, and hot to touch in the affected are. If you aren't experiencing any of those symptoms it is most likely a clogged duct and just keep pumping or nursing and doing all the things the lovely ladies recommended and it should come out not problem. Also don't be alarmed if it is still sore or tender for a day or so after : ) . Good luck!!

Just went through this myself! Massage under hot water!!! And get that baby to feed feed feed! And after pump pump pump!!! It'll get better in two/three days give or take if you do those things!! Pretty much what that mama said above me! ^^^
