I'm breast feeding my 3 week old son and I've started getting shooting pains in one breast after feeding. It's internal, just behind the nipple, and I have no other symptoms. Feeding is fine but the pain starts shortly afterwards and lasts for an hour or two. It doesn't sound exactly like mastitis, as my breast is not red, hot or swollen. Is this normal? Do I need medical attention?
