DS is 12 days old and I'm exclusively BF. I also BF DD without any problems but this time I've been experiencing lots of pain when feeding on the right side. I'm convinced there are no problems with his latch but I've been feeling as though something is pinching when he's feeding. I had a look at my right breast after a bath and noticed there is a pea sized, hard lump with a white head on the areola right next to my nipple. When he is latching on, the lump is pinching against my nipple and causing lots of pain. It's also throbbing when I'm not feeding. I haven't had mastitus but was engorged for a few days when my milk came in and am now really concerned about the possibility of an abscess and not sure what to do .
