I wore a new nursing bra yesterday - had it for a week but only wore it all day for the first time yesterday. By the end of the day, my boobs felt really uncomfortable and I realised that the cups were a bit too small. So I took it off and put another bra on.
Anyway, my right boob felt sore after last feed last night and I've woken up with it feeling very tender to the touch and uncomfortable when lying down and I could feel the ducts were quite full. Hand expressed a bit to ease any pressure but it is still very tender. DD fast asleep and probably will be for another hour so can't get her to feed from it yet.
DD is 13 weeks, ebf, and I have been very lucky to not suffer any sort of issues like blocked ducts before with either her or DS so I'm not sure what this is.
So what can I do now to look after my poorly breast (aside from burning the offending bra!)?

Ouch! Has my nursing bra given me blocked ducts/mastitis?
