My non-sleeping 8mo DS decided to throw me a curve-ball last night and slept almost nine hours with only one wake-up. Yay! However, my right boob went completely solid in this time. I gave him a feed off that side at the one wake up he did, and expressed for a bit more relief, then he fed off that side once more around 6ish. When we got up at 7, I had a dull ache in that boob which is just getting worse. Expressing is painful as is feeding.
Said boob isn't red or hard, but very painful to the touch. DS is in the habit of giving it a good squeeze while feeding occasionally which nearly made me hit the roof this morning.
What's going on?? Is it a blocked duct ? Mastitis? I've taken a precautionary dose of ibuprofen and I'm trying to express and feed frequently off that side while screaming into a pillow.
Is there anything else I can do?
Thanks!
