Massage massage massage!!!! It will hurt but I did mine in the shower. Also when baby is feeding massage it.
Mastitis?
The night before last my baby slept longer than usual and I woke up with a sore breast. I fed her on it and it felt better. Throughout the day it felt a little tender before it was time for her to eat, but once she ate it felt fine. (She only eats on one side at a time, so each breast is emptied typically every 5-6 hours. But overnight I make sure she eats a little on both sides.) Yesterday afternoon I got a headache. This morning I woke up with a headache and a tender red breast with a swollen lump. I have a clogged duct and I’ve been feeding on that side often. Otherwise I feel fine. It’s not very painful, just tender and I have no pain with breastfeeding. Is this the start of mastitis or just a clog? Any tips to relieve it?

Yes I could sometimes feel when the duct was cleared it was like a pop feeling and then sometimes I didn’t feel anything but the lump was gone. I also took sunflower lecithin and that really helped.

Did you feel when you cleared the duct? Or is it a gradual feeling? Every now and then when feeding or massaging I feel like I feel it moving. It’s a sharp pain. I massaged it in a hot shower and it definitely feels better, but I think there’s still a small lump. And of course it’s even more tender now from massaging.
