I'm breastfeeding my 3 week old and almost at the end of my tether with something I can't find anyone else talking about online.
After she's fed for a while (5-10 mins), all of a sudden I get a sort of tugging/throbbing/pulsing sensation through from the inside of my breast to my nipple. It's not painful but it's like when someone is tickling and won't stop and it makes me feel sick. I can't bear to leave her latched when it's happening and have been taking her off. I feel absolutely awful about this because I know I shouldn't take her off before she's ready but I just can't bear this horrible feeling.
I think that as it's not painful it's probably just how it's supposed to feel? If so, why has it just started happening the last couple of days? Is there anything I can do to stop it? I really don't want to stop breastfeeding but I just can't bear this feeling.
