So today my milk came in, and my lord this hurts.. but I have lumps and little bumps u can feel throughout my breast is this normal?
am I just engorged?
I made my SO grab a manual pump which I’m waiting to dry so i can try to ease this pain

That happens to me if I don’t pump/feed for over 2 hours at first when my milk came in it happened for a few days you just need to pump some milk out !

When I would get lumps it was because I still had milk in there. You need to make sure you get all of the milk out every time or you could get sick. My baby was having problems getting the milk out and I didn’t realize it and I started getting a fever and chills and my boobs really hurt and the doctor told me that’s why and said to run hot water over them while massaging the lumps. So if the pumping doesn’t help you can try that

Try a hot shower or hot wet washcloths just to express a little bit. Man I don’t miss that

Your engorged and also could have a clogged duct that would be the little lumps.

@mommy2babygirl, ok ty! I was just worried about all the lumps, I kinda figured but over think and worry lol
Happened so quickly ugh it hurts!
Jenny·
@thepaige16, I tried that first and literally no ease so shortly my pump will be dry and praying it helps me rn
Jenny·
@lillynellasmom, that’s my worry! Bc there’s quite a few of them. How do you deal with clogged ducts, meds?

@joyfulmom2b massage your breasts warm towel or hot shower feed pump make sure you get all of the milk out and if you need to you can milk yourself to make sure you get them all out as you're massaging.

@lillynellasmom, okay maybe I need to massage them longer then.. I tried the hot shower and massaging and got little to no ease so I’ll try massaging now well my pump finishing drying and then pump

@joyfulmom2b yeah massage where you feel the lump and then when go in a circular motion so that you can push down like you're trying to push out the milk to come out it might help you.

@joyfulmom2b, yes it hurts so bad and you have to be careful cause you can get mastitis/clogged ducts I haven’t yet but I’ve been close cause baby started sleeping 4-5 hours at night and I got lazy a few times and didn’t want to wake up to pump but. I do every time now because how bad it hurts
Jenny·
@lillynellasmom, @mommy2babygirl, I got nothing out ugh do I need to wait a day or so; or just keep massaging and trying?
Kasandra Featherston ·
@joyfulmom2b, nothing?? And still bumps and stuff? Does it hurt? Or feel hot?
Jenny·
@mommy2babygirl, yup still bumps, massaging the larger ones kinda made them alil smaller I’m still working on them. But it just hurts, doesn’t feel hot
