I'm so new at breastfeeding, I need a little help! my left nipple was hurting so bad I just nursed my daughter on my right side most of the day, well now my left boob is hard!!! I've tried rubbing it I feel like that's helped some.. but it's still hard!
How old is she? Yeah you'll know when your milk comes in, I didn't pump until mine did and only bc I had too bc I was so engorged. My milk supply is still strong enough for me to have to pump even though I exclusively breastfeed
it was enough to scare me.. the hardness is gone, bc I've just let her feed from that boob, I do have a pump I haven't used it yet bc I didn't feel like my milk was all the way in yet and I like her feeding on me! @babyjjsmommy
How much blood was it? If it's from your boob should be very very little. Also yes, keep massaging them. I do every time I pump. Do you have a pump? Hot showers help get your milk down too so if you aren't storing it just squeeze it out in the shower to relieve yourself
You gotta keep both sides drained or you will get mass Titus and it's no fun!! Plus try to remember what side you ended with and start on the other side next time you feed
I'm letting her feed on that side now, I have cream and I've even started using coconut oil to help my nipple so maybe that will work. ima keep rubbing my boob tho and maybe that will help it not be so tight along with her feeding on that side!
