A member asked:
Hi dr ..is it normal to have a painfull lump in ure breast when breastfeeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Breastfeeding pain: I recommend you see a lactation consultation or OB/GYN to evaluate. Painful lumps are common, often due to blocked lactation duct. In the meantime, try warm compresses and massage while breastfeeding, as this will often relieve the blockage.
