So I stopped breastfeeding 3 weeks ago after my milk never came in and today I just felt a golf ball…

Probably just hard milk like a clog. Even though it doesnt hurt you should try to get it broken up.

@kambam, how do I break it up?

Just keep massaging it and try some heat. You might leak some though

@kambam, okay thanks!!

@kambam, the lump is pretty hard and like a ball shape does this sound like a clogged milk duct?

Yes. You can meet with lactation to be certain or any complications.

It sounds like it could be a clogged duct. When I've gone awhile between feedings, I start to get small lumps like that. Put a warm compress on it and massage. If you have a pump, you could try using that for a few minutes as well.

@optimusprimesmom, even after 3 weeks of me stopping? My milk never came in either..I'm really hoping that's all it is though I do still have my pump so I'll try pumping and see what happens

With my first it took awhile to dry up all the way. Like 2 weeks after I stopped I was still able to hand express some at times. If the things everyone has suggested don't work, then I'd contact your doctor for sure.

@optimusprimesmom, what did the clogged milk duct feel like? This is like a hard ball it doesn't feel like it's filled with anything it just feels hard like a golf ball

@hah890 Like a hard ball. Definitely not as large as golf ball sized though. Has anything helped yet?
