I think I might be starting with mastitis, my boob is really engorged and lumpy, I feel hot and a bit 'funny', not totally with it so to speak. I haven't got any pain yet though.
I came back to work this week and monday and tuesday managed without expressing. I was off yesterday as I don't work wednesdays and fed baby (9 months) as usual.
My left breast has felt hard since 10am, I don't know if i have favoured my right side throughout the night maybe. I didn't bring the pump today since I didnt need it on monday or tuesday. I just hand expressed into a wad of tissue in the loo but while I was getting a great flow in some places, the lumpy bits didn't produce any milk.
Am I being paranoid and worrying for nothing or could this be mastitis setting in? Is it too fast for that to have developed? I have had it before but that was after a period of a few days of favouring the other side due to thrush.
