DS is 9 days old, had the usual pain from a few crap latches in the beginning leaving cracked nipples but corrected quickly I think. On tues I felt VERY engorged and my boobs were agony, started to feel shivery and weak and quickly fed him loads and took painkillers etc and it passed.
However ever since my left boob is weird, it is really painful, when he latches on and during feed and is red and sore even when not feeding although only really noticeable when someone hugs me etc! Milk is coming out very slowly, it never squirts out, even mid feed, DS feeds very slowly on it. After a feed my nipple is all lumpy, I can't feel any obvious lumps in my boob though. I pumped and that was painful too, it's really getting me down cos I can't work out what to do about it. I'm feeding him on it first every time, I have to really gear myself up to latch him on cos it is so so painful even with regular ibuprofen and paracetamol. I've tried massaging it in the bath/shower and during a feed in case it's a blocked duct but no joy.
Sorry this so so long, I will try and get to breastfeeding clinic on Monday but it's really making me feel a bit miserable.
