Bf question
Hello! LO is 2 weeks old now. For about a week I've have a lump under my left underarm. It's tender to touch but not red or warm. I thought maybe it was a plugged duct and did warmth, and massage which didn't help. So I kinda forgot about it. But now a week later it is still there? Anyone had anything similar? I'm having no issues nursing and I've never gotten a plugged duct with my older daughter. Thanks!

Agreed! I had mastitis and it is HORRIBLE! I hope it goes away for you soon
I had it with Nate. It wasn't a plugged duct, but an engorged duct since baby wasn't draining it. Massage while feeding, and pumping after feeding and massaging, it took care of it. I remember my LC saying it would dry up on it's own since it was unused. I agree with pps though, you should have it checked out anyhow.
