sore boob

I have been blessed with not having clogged ducts or anything but that also means I don't know what this is. Yesterday we traveled home from celebrating with family for the fourth. Whenever we travel long distances lo eats less because she sleep a lot in the car. So last night my Boob was sore and hi just figured it was from engorgement. So I pumped when we got home and figured it would feel better after a little bit. Well it's still sore today. There's no redness but it'sore to the touch and go nurse. Any ideas on what it is?

    sounds like a clogged/blocked duct.

    things you can do:
    -nurse as much as possible on the affected side
    -massage breast while nursing to help work out the clog
    -try dangle nursing- put baby on floor and dangle breast over them to nurse
    -apply heat or take a warm bath, then nurse during/afterwards
    -take a lecithin supplement 4x a day, it can help break up the clog
    -drink lots of fluids
    -rest as much as possible

    if you notice red streaks on your breast, develop a fever, or have chills, see your doctor as it may be developing into mastitis.
