...wrote out this beautiful post about it being “our time” to wean....and went 72 hours without nursing before bedtime (the only time we have nursed in the past month - once a day in the evening). But my breasts became extremely engorged. I was concerned I might get a clogged duct as I noticed an extremely hard and lumpy area above my right breast, extending upwards. Even with hand expression to relieve some pressure, it was painful.

I did decide to nurse after 72 hours of no nursing. Thank goodness I did because it relieved the pain. The lump is still slightly there though. I guess that I am going to try nursing every other night. I’m too scared to stop all together now. You’d think my supply would wean easily! I’m pretty surprised that I became so engorged.

Any advice? Mamas who have been through this?
