My dd is 17 days old. Over the last 24 hours I have developed what seems to be a bruise on my right breast. It is a large red sore area not a lump but harder than the rest of the breast. It is under the nipple and when dd's chin kneads the breast tissue.
Is this due to poor attachment or a strong clamp? She is very vigorous when feeding on this side and I struggled to get her latched on initially so she gets anxious when on this side.
Should I just keep feeding despite the pain or express to give it time to heal?
My left side is working really well so I know how it should be IYKWIM but can't see any difference between what I am doing on the different sides.
