My 4 week old son had swollen breasts
after birth. His right breast has gone
down but his left is still swollen and
appears to be red. He has recently had
increased crying jags and I am wondering
if his left breast could be hurting him,
and if I should call the doctor. Also I
don't know if this is relivant but I am
also breast feeding.

To be honest with you I think its best if
you cotact the baby's doctor if you
haven't already done so anything could be
wrong with your child breast, but call the
doctor fast. Im not trying to scare you
but you really need to see whats wrong.

It is normal for male breasts to be
swollen, same as female breasts when
born. Sometimes even dispell colostrum,
or little blood, but I dont think the red
is normal. Somehow could have gotten
inflamed and yes that would hurt. Call
your dr or his dr and see what they say.
