Hello

Baby turned one in January and I have now weaned her off my boobs onto follow on milk. :( sad but also felt the time was right.

My boobs felt fine because I weaned her off over a few weeks. I dropped the last feed 6 days ago but yesterday they felt tender and I could feel a couple of had lumps.

One was quite painful so last night I had a hot bath and massaged them but the one that had a big lump start leaking as I massaged. I felt it was relieved after I massaged the milk out. I was worried I would get mastitus as i've had that a few times in that boob so i must have a weak duct there.

Its hurting again tonight. If I carry on massaging it and emptying this duct will this stimulate the milk. I can't just ignore it though, so not sure what to do? Any advice would be much appreciated.
