Hiya hope someone can give me advice on this. One of my breasts is really sore and now its just started going a pink colour where the pain is. My baby doesn't like feeding from that breast i have noticed over the past couple of days. From late december i noticed a yellow bit on my nipple but the pain went eventually so thought nothing of it, the yellow bit stayed and now the pain is back again. Has it been blocked this whole entire time? I hope its not infected i dont want to take antibiotics because it gives my DD a poorly tummy. Two times i have had to take antibiotics for another infection and both times it affected my baby, the first time i thought it cant be the medicine can it? But when it happened a second time i knew it was the medicine. Please tell me what you think.

yes sounds like blocked duct or mastitis. can you massage it out under a hot shower?
antibiotics gave my ds upset tummy too but nothing too bad and my mastitis was so bad i had to take it. He was quite young tho so if yours is older now it wont be so bad. i found one particular nursing bra always gave me a blocked duct so thats worth considering.

Thankyou Purplehonesty. I had a hot bath which helped a bit, and i will wear a nursing bra all the time now, sometimes i wear my normal wired bra as it holds my bust up so much better, wont be doing that no more! Just recently started weaning my DD too so shes not feeding from me so often. It must be a combination of things which have caused this, i just hope i dont need antibiotics!
