Hot showers and massage it, pumping it and massaging it, feeding a lot going to sleep with a hot compress. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painful-lump-due-to-breastfeeding-how-to-resolve#post-11504 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 11:03:46 +0000 mrsnarbonne 11504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can also try lying on your left side and then leaning over your LO to nurse them from your right breast while massaging the lump. The massage + gravity + suckling helps loosen up the lumps. Also make sure you stay hydrated! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painful-lump-due-to-breastfeeding-how-to-resolve#post-11428 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 10:02:01 +0000 Mrs. Bee 11428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>it sounds like you have a clogged milk duct. you definitely want to treat it right away as it can lead to mastitis!</p> <p>here is a post i wrote on treating clogged milk ducts. once you get them once, you're more likely to get them again. i had three with charlie, and two with olive so far (and mastitis with olive!)</p> <p><a href="http://www.hellobee.com/2011/10/17/clogged-milk-ducts-and-how-to-treat-them/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/2011/10/17/clogged-milk-ducts-and-how-to-treat-them/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painful-lump-due-to-breastfeeding-how-to-resolve#post-11411 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 09:32:18 +0000 LivsMama 11411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Could it be a clogged milk duct? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/painful-lump-due-to-breastfeeding-how-to-resolve#post-11332 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 05:15:47 +0000 T.H.O.U. 11332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been very sore on my right breast on the outer side(toward my armpit) for about a week now. When I get full of milk it is worse and when I empty it I can feel some lumps. I cannot seem to get the lumps to break up through massage and/or heat. I went to my GP today and she want to send me for an ultrasound. </p> <p>Any thoughts on what this could be and how I could maybe get it to go away? Also LO is still eating off that side and I haven't noticed a drop in supply. </p>
