My left breast is swollen an entire cup size. breastfeeding-- what does this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need to get checked: If this is painful and sudden, it could be an infection or blocked milk ducts. Even if not painful and not sudden, something is going on. It may be harder to detect a lump deep in the breast while you are full of milk. You should speak to or see your lactation consultant or provider.
