Lol ok this morning when I woke up my boob was hurting soooo bad I cant lift my arm high and it hurt like hell trying to change my shirt I cant holdl the baby bc of it and I was wondering if it happened to anyone else and what I can do about it, its not both its just my left boob it feels like it is bruised and it has a knot on the left side of it im not breastfeeding I did at first but havent been for almost two weeks now. Well about a week and a half, and they have been dried up or at least I thought bc I haven tbeen leaking for days now. So anyone have advice. Im clueless about all this stuff

Hey hun im not sure maybe u have a clogged milk duct try a real warm wash rag maybe soaking it in a bowl of hot water it might cause u to leak some more but it actually might stop it from hurting

I asked my mom and she told me that sometimes that happens after u stop breastfeeding and what u should do (now be prepared becuz it prolly will hurt!) is to wear ur tightest bra or tie a towel very tight against ur chest. Its supposed to keep the milk in so u wont leak cuz ur not sposed to be leaking either. My mom said to do it for 2-3 days and it should ease up after a bit. Hopefully the pain goes away.
