Just wondering if any of you lactation experts are on tonight: am BFing my 11 week old DD; she is my second and I BFed my first for 9 months. Have been struggling with my right boob on and off for weeks now; had what I thought was a bocked milk duct a few weeks ago. Cleared it through much massaging, expressing, hot compresses but pain never entirely went away though lessened.
Pain came back worse earlier this week. Am v careful with my latch; it is only this one breast and I am pretty sure the latch is good; went to my local NHS BFing support group and the woman there thought that latch was fine too though didn't have much else to suggest. Went to GP who thought it might be thrush so I have been applying Canestan since Friday morning. Haven't fed from this boob for 3 days, too painful, been feeding from the other and expressing the bad one. But the pain is worse today (constant deep stabbing / throbbing) and there is blood on my breast pad tonight.
Any suggestions please???
