Pain near nipple - cause

2 replies

Since last night when my almost 8 wo feeds on one breast I feel a sharp stabbing near my nipple. There's no crack or visible blemish - it's as if there is a pain inside . I've just noticed that when I press on that breast, I can feel something hard and swollen. Could this be related to the pain? What might it be? Also I think my baba - who is a bit sick at the moment - is feeding better from the other breast

Clogged milk duct? I found massage, a very hot bath and holding a hot water bottle on the affected area cleared these up v quickly.

Just done a bit of dr google and that's what it sounds like it might be alright! Thanks for the tips - hot bath sounds great and good to hear it went quickly. Anyone else got experience of this? How likely is it to turn to mastitis?
