Breastfeeding lumps : After breast feeding is stopped by medication, some residual milk production can accumulate, and with blocking of milk ducts, will appear to be "lumps". Sometimes prolonged warm showers (as hot as you can tolerate) will open the ducts and ease passage of milk. If the lumps persist, see your gyn physician for an exam.
