Hi,

DD nearly 8 months old and I had cut down to only evening and night and then just to night feeds a couple of weeks ago. I fed her for the last time last Thurs evening (1 boob), early hours of Thurs morning for the other boob.
I got a bit engorged over Fri/Sat and just hand expressed a tiny amount to make myself comfortable about twice. When I woke up on Sunday I felt like my boobs were starting to deflate a little bit but yesterday and today they seem to be feeling increasingly harder and lumpier? I feel fine in myself.
Blocked ducts? Abscess? Normal?? They are both equally lumpy, perhaps a bit worse on the right side.
Could try and see a doc tomorrow but not sure I need to??

TIA

What worked for me was cabbage leaves in the bra - I know it sounds strange but it works! If it is blocked ducts also using a comb on the breasts helps too
