I've been on a bit of a rollercoaster ride with BF so far. But my baby is now 12 days old and I'm experiencing quite crippling shooting pains in my nipples randomly throughout the day.
I am currently not breastfeeding but expressing several times a day to bottle feed baby with breast milk.
Has anyone else experienced random pains like this and are they anything to worry about? They are quite crippling pains, almost like a sharp ache or even a sort of cramp/electrocution type feeling - quite difficult to explain.
My boobs are doing quite well, not swollen in any way, though I am noticing that when I'm expressing I only seem to produce milk from ducts that are at the base of the nipple. Other ducts are producing little or nothing except perhaps literally one or two drops per session!
