Thanks girls, if you havent already realised I am a paranoid person lol

All done girls. I fed straight after, so she missed one feed while I was in surgery and DH just gave her a bottle of formula. The Dr advised me that there was no need to pump and dump and he was mindful of me breastfeeding so used drugs that wouldnt harm bub. Bit sore on the tum, but just putting a pillow there when she feeds.

Great - glad to hear all well and back at the breast

I am having issues with blocked ducts again. My right breast seems to occasionally like to just block up for no apparant reason. At least 1/4 of that side is all hard and lumpy. I have got dd to feed off that side for the last 2 feeds and she hasn't budged it. Now my other side is filling up because I am so busy trying to drain the right one. It is so painful to touch and feeding off it really hurts which is kind of disappointing because my right side is generally the good side to feed off... now both sides are agony. It's day like this I wonder why I am still doing this.

My lefty used to do that a lot. Have you tried feedign on all fours? Also, Ithink lecithin is supposed to hlep and some physios do special ultrasound therapy or else remedial massage to help with drainage.

How exactly would I feed on all fours??? DD has a bad latch normally, would she be able to manage that?? I think I may have to talk to my doc about lecithin because it keeps happening fairly regularly. I've heard about those physio's. None will be open here until Monday though... I am hoping it clears by then.
