Hi I have lumps in my armpits since my milk came in two days ago. What did you do to remove the lumps? I have no swelling or pain I in actual the breasts.

I had some pain when I was overfull. Baby wouldn't breast feed so am exclusively pumping. Try emptying with a pump. If that doesn't work please get it checked out by a doctor. I'm sure it's nothing but better safe than sorry!

After I pumped, the swelling went down a lot so thank you for your advice.

I had this- the felt like they were the size of golf balls! I put a hot flannel against them and then massaged them reasonably firmly and they went down a bit and were less sore. They only lasted two or three days if I recall.

It's totally like golf balls. I massaged in the shower and they've gone done but god the pain!!!
