Just venting and need ya'll to give me some tough love and smack some sense into me to not give up quite yet. Dd is only 7.5 months.

Girls I'm nearly in tears and about ready to throw in the towel. I posted a few days ago that I was afraid I was getting thrush but it ended up resolving itself and was most likely just a bad latch from dd teething. Well today I have a major clogged duct that has caused a huge wedge shape lump in half my boob. I had this before a few weeks ago too and luckily with all your help it didn't turn into mastitis but omg I'm just so overwhelmed with everything and the thought of having to take all those multiple measures again to unclog it. I've already done the hot towels and nursing dd a few times and though the lump is smaller it's still there. Cries.

I'm tired of having to massage/compress/abuse it when I pump, shower. I'm tired of feeling pain when I pick up Dd or hug DS. I'm tired of not being able to eat lunch without bottles hanging from my boobs.

But I EPed with DS for 13 months so sure enough it didn't kill me.

But man this is tough, very very tough.

Thanks for letting me vent.
