Bruised ribs?

Question

6 days postpartum. The breastfeeding cramps are REAL! My ribs also feel like they’re almost bruised? It’s kind of painful to breathe and wearing anything tight under my breasts hurts. Anyone else experiencing this? Also, picture for cuteness ❤️

Answer

If you’re breastfeeding it could be that baby isn’t emptying the ducts under your breast. I had this and once I got a better fitting bra, and positioned baby with her chin pointing toward that area, crosscradle position worked for us, it went away after a couple feeds. Good luck momma!

Answer

I feel this was but have been for months during pregnancy. It got better when baby dropped. The cartilage around my ribs under my left breast in particular is inflamed apparently. She says it will go away after the baby, not sure if breastfeeding impacts it.
