Weaning and Breast Pain

babym6705

I recently weaned my son. We slowly transitioned by eliminating day feedings and then I eliminated night feeding a a few days later. My supply was low prior to weaning so I never felt any engorgement during the weaning process. It's only been a few days but now my left breast feels like some one punched it on the left side, it's tender from like my underarm to my nipple. It's not intense pain but almost like a bruise feeling I guess. I don't have any redness and it's not hot to the touch, thoughts on what this could be? I'm assuming it's related to weaning. Also, not sure if it matters but it was on the side that always produced less milk.

I'm no expert but check for blocked ducts - it's quite common during weaning.
