Breastfeeding

Bleb/blocked pore...

I have researched this on kellymom, and think that this is what is wrong with my left breast. I have been using warm compresses and have tried to remove some of the stringy fatty milk that has clogged it up. However I still have one spot that is super painful and it is starting to make my entire breast hurt. Yesterday it was so blocked that I could feel a lump where the milk could not get out. After massaging and using the heat it let up a little and I was eventually able to express the trapped milk. Now I'm starting to wonder if I have an infection though because it hurts so bad.

Anyone else dealt with this? If so how long did it take for the pain to go away?

  • When that's happened to me, the pain is usually gone within 24-48 hours. After the pain goes away my boob has felt sore and that's why I say 24-48 hours. Try taking tylenol for the pain and keep massaging the breast and feeding from it.
