Is it normal to have some breast discomfort? I say discomfort cause it's not necessarily painful just uncomfortable. It was leaking clear colostrum for a bit but now it's not and I feel a bit of pain behind my nipple. I just want to make sure I'm not gonna get a infection before I even start breastfeeding.
I don't think so. Pumping us dangerous until after baby's born.. Try putting a hot rag on the one that nothing's coming out of and then try again. Don't over do it though. Maybe that breast just doesn't have anything in it yet lol
@nmoreno is there another way to get it out? If I squeeze one some comes out but the other nothing will come out and I squeeze it a bit hard. Not too much too hurt just enough that I think something should of came out
I've been doing it & nothing bad has happened. I don't squeeze out a lot. Just 2 or 3 drops.
I'm scared to squeeze them. On my other mom forums they say all sorts of things can go wrong if I mess with them too much @nmoreno
I think its just pressure from all of the colostrum in them. I get pains like that too. Sort of feels like milk is gonna shoot out any second. My midwife says its fine to squeeze out a few drops from each breast by squeezing your areola to relieve pressure. No pumping or real deal hand expression though because it can induce labor.
Probably lol. It's uncomfortable too but not as much as the other one. Thanks so much 😊 @nmoreno
