Good morning to wonderful mamas, am always posting on behalf of my wife. She put to bed about a month ago. After a week of delivery, she noticed a hard lump in the upper part of one of the breast, we have been to hospital, we were told that it's probably a blocked duct, mastitis is ruled out, we were just given diclofenac and told to make sure that baby latch on properly... Still the lump remains there.... Has anyone experience this? What else can one do for the lump to go?

Sir, I am presently going through this. I had same issue and went to the hospital. Doctor said it's engorgement and prescribed lofnac and some other antibiotics for me. I took the drugs religiously. After I finished the drugs, I noticed the pains were gone but the swollen part was still there even when my LO was feeding from the breast. I went back to the hospital and was told it's mastitis meanwhile pus had already formed as a result of clogged milk. Had to go for incision and draining. It was a gory sight I must confess and very painful too. I'm currently on injections and antibiotics and was told to stop feeding from the breast till it heals. I'll advise you go back to the hospital if the lump is still there to be very sure it is not mastitis.
Thanks.

Hello mama's.. hope you're healing gradually now? I have a brand new Lansinoh ni. pple cream for sale.. I bought it but ended up not using it. Though location is Ibadan.. You can quote me if still needed.

Liftedhands:
Yes sis, lansinol is the brand and lanolin is the content makeup. Get pain meds safe for a nursing mom as well.
*Tips*

Expose the breast to air when not feeding.

Apply breast milk to the affected nip.ple.

Rinse with saline solution and pat dry gently.

Make sure baby is latching well to avoid further injury.

Check for thrush and or tongue tie.

Experiment with different nursing positions till you get one you and baby are comfortable with.

See your doctor if the breast becomes inflamed or have pus.

Take care.

Congratulations on your baby!
Get lanolin ni.pple cream.
Lansinol is a good popular brand.

Apply to your nipple inbetween feeding her. It is baby safe and you do not need to wash off before breastfeeding your baby.

Ensure she also latches properly as that may aggravate the pain if she is not latching well.

All the best dear.

Godmother:


Those people are right. This happened to me when I had my daughter almost two years ago and it was the same technique I used. I continued putting her to suck and the pain healed of its own.

Awesomemama:


You can also place a towel with not so hot water
From time to time on the nipple, it will give you relief and heal after sometime
That's what worked for me

JGracious:



Get Lansinoh nipple cream. Check reputable pharmacies or stores that stock baby items.
