Ok so I'm breast pumping but I feel my right breast bruced, and hard like if I have milk clogged up. Idk but it hurts. Does anybody know what it might be
@lizramos1, it should be fine for the weekend just make an appointment next week. Clogged ducts are normal to get every once in awhile, you just don't want it to get bad enough it turns into mastitis because that's a pain to deal with.
@lizramos1, make sure you are nursing the baby on both sides and then also pumping on Both side too. Keep massaging the clogged side, if it gets inflamed call your dr. It's really common to get clogged ducts during breastfeeding. It shouldn't affect your baby at all.
Try nursing and pumping from that side a lot. That's what helped me get through it twice. But don't solely nurse from that side or you'll get mastitis from your other boob.
@lizramos1, if it gets red or very painful call your dr, it could be mastitis and you usually need antibiotics for that
Ok thank u. I'll just do the warm rag for now hopefully it gets better
