Hi, DD2 is 3mo and bf has been going well. The last day or so she's seemed keener on one side than the other so this afternoon I gave her three feeds out of four from the one she doesn't prefer.
Suddenly at dinner time I started feeling all shivery and my boob developed six or seven very sore, tender points. I expressed a bit of milk off, massaged the breast and applied a nappy filled with hot water to it. When she was ready for bed I then fed her again from that side for 45m (she usually feeds for 20m tops).
It seemed to help for a while but now the boob is hurting again and I feel awful. Have pumped for over 5m but literally only a few drops came out, hand expressing is very painful and nothing is coming out, gently massaging the breast doesn't produce anything either.
She doesn't often feed in the night (normally a winner!) so I am planning to pump every few hours and to give her a night feed anyway.
What else can I do to get milk out of my bad boob?
I am also now wondering if she gets much herself from this side and perhaps I need to work on the supply as she's gone off it because it's hard work?
Am desperate
