Quick question. I remember them telling me in the hospital that if you don't release the milk I your boobs you can be come very sick and it can clog up in the back. I haven't been able to pump the last two days, I am a server. Last night, I feel intensely horrible, constant sweating, could not be come comfortable, huge headache & stomach aching. When I woke up I could see the veins in my boobs & there was a big red spot on my boob as well. They're a little better today and I'm feeling okay now. Just wondering if that could be related to me not pumping
My aunt said she would put a warm pad on her breasts ....and it would soften up the ducts and she would just start leaking everywhere.....so like a warm/hot compress.....I hear works like a charm....the infection you can get is mastitis....if I were you to prevent it try to pump even when your not feeding baby but just so you can clear that milk out.
