    I've never had one, but they can be quite painful? Put a warm washer on it and massage it when you put bub on to feed

    Good luck and let us know how you go.

    Hi I had one with my little one, i just massaged it in the shower with warm water on it and it took a while to go down, even now it comes and goes a bit. Mine was only sore if i pushed on it. I also massaged it as bub was feeding to help it move threw and break up.

    Hope that helps.
