DD2 is 2 months today and ebf. I've had two blocked ducts in that time - one each side. The first I just fed and expressed and it went very quickly but the second has been a bit more persistent. I noticed it sat afternoon/evening and went through the full repertoire - feeding that side first, hot shower, massage, hot water bottle, combing/brushing, ibuprofen etc etc. Now, Monday morning, it's no longer red or sore so seems to have gone, but if I probe I can still feel a little lump. Has anyone had anything similar? Have I just messed with it so much the tissue might be swollen? Should I worry about it being something more sinister?

I've had the same problem recently. It is probably just still a little swollen. I read on La Leche League about little lumps and plugged ducts and they suggest that if the lump gradually gets bigger, doesn't move and it's hard then to go see your gp. Hope that helps :)

Thanks abi very helpful. I'll keep an eye on it then and not panic unless I have to Smile
