Have you tried an electric pump? Hot shower first?

Have you checked for mastitis?

Sounds like mastitis, it would be best to go see your gp and lactation group if you have one. No one every tells you how hard breastfeeding is to start with. I struggled for at least the first 6 weeks until my lactation consultant discovered that she had a tongue and lip tie (no one else picked it up). since we had it cut my supply increased and its been fairly smooth sailing ever since. And remember some women, no after how good the pump never get enough milk output. Your baby is so much more efficient and drawing out your milk. be more guided by bubby’s weight gain and nappy output. It’s mentally and emotionally exhausting but you are doing a fantastic job!

Sound like the beginning of mastitis, I would get in contact with the breastfeeding association and have a chat with a consultant (first off though, congratulations, your doing a great job!) you may be able to get him go relatch, otherwise cabbage leaves and gentle massage under a warm shower, keep expressing but stay on top of it, mastitis can be worse that labor!

Hope some of the advice below has helped

how did you go?

Did you managed to find a way to stop the pain?

Any lump should be checked as it could be mastitis. I had it three times when I was expressing with a pump and it really hurts.

Make sure that you correctly attach your nipple with the breast pump so you don’t get pain.

What did you end up doing?

Some good advice here – hope it has helped.

For mastitis a warm shower as massage the lumpy area, also cabbage leaves help as well
