I have had a painful shooting pain in my right breast. i'm currently breastfeeding but now i'm thinking of stopping because it is getting unbearable?

Please don't : Please don't stop breast feeding. It is the absolute best for your baby. Talk to your gynecologist about pain to see if you have a clogged lactating duct or even an infection. In most cases the pain can be relieved with warm pads applied to your breast and with gentle massage.
