I'm in pain nursing.

[Jalapeñomel]

Again, it's my right breast, and it has to be because I've stopped pumping and D's only nursing twice maybe three times a day now. I've massaged, I've used a diaper with hot water, and I try to nurse on that side, but the pain is so excruciating.

My breast is not hot or red, and I don't feel bad or feverish.

Is there anything else I can do to get passed this?

Do you think it's s blocked duct?

Hot shower/heating pad and massage. Nurse that side often. Use a comb to massage it out. Ibuprofen. I usually massage really rough, sometimes bruising myself, but always gets the job done. I don't know if that's good though. Pump as you massage?

I'm sorry

I do think it's a blocked duct.  It's killing me!

Ugh, I'm sorry. I used to get these. They are so painful.

I had to just keep nursing from that side. Sometimes it took 3-4 feedings to clear it. Showering, massaging, etc. never helped me much.

Also, try varying nursing positions. GL.

Use a wide tooth comb over it in a hot shower, then massage.

Keep trying to nurse on that side, massage and heat as other suggested.

You may feel fine now, but I had a clogged duct and it went from just a painful lump to a fever and sick feeling VERY quickly. I was able to clear it though before it turned into something more serious.

Dangle feeding is the only way I've ever been able to clear a clogged duct.

I pumped while having DH massage the duct towards the nipple with a hot washcloth. I also used a hot wash cloth massage immediately prior to pumping.

That stinks. Clogged ducts are the WORST.

This will sound very weird but it really helps. If you have a pump just pump the right. Get on all 4s on the bed or floor & pump. I had a bad clogged duct. After one time of pumping like a cow it cleared up. Lol
I thought it was the craziest thing until I did it.

Thanks everyone! I will try all these suggestions. I'm at work, and I bought those hot patches, and put one in my bra. LOL.
