I've had a lump for almost 3 days now usually I just massage it out and it's gone by the end of the day but this time no amount of massaging is working or massaging in shower or while feeding , pumping, changing feeding positions, feeding her more in that side none of it is helping at all
It's not hot or red but I think it is a bit more inflamed from me massaging it
Keep doing what you're doing. Have you got an electric toothbrush? Sometimes that helps too.
Try also, feeding on all fours with baby underneath you. This uses gravity help get milk flowing better.
Are you using warm face cloths at all when massaging? Do be careful to be gentle - too hard and you can cause more inflammation.
You can also try feeding in different positions - sometimes angling baby so their chin is pointed to where the blockage is can help.
At this point I would suggest getting an appointment with a doctor just in case. Sounds like you know the warning signs to look out for, but 3 days with no improvement is a bit worrying.
Yeah tried baby in a different position
Ill try the warm face washers and I was thinking of getting hubby to try massage it gently with some coconut oil tonight
Prob is too that dd has gone on a bit of a nursing strike and only wants solids and if I offer breast wen she wants solids she bites
Help!!!
