I had my son on Saturday, and my milk has just started really coming in. ?However, this morning, I have a big lump under my armpit that I know wasn't there yesterday. ?Is this a swollen milk duct/gland? ?Anyone else having something similar??Thanks for the help.?

    It sounds like a clog.  Massaging it will help, and putting a warm compress on it before you feed.

    definitely warm compress- warm washcloths are great. also massage the breasts. the more you do it the less likely you will get clogged ducts. nursing baby often to help drain the ducts also really help. GL and congrats on baby!
