I have a mom that weaned her baby last January.  While breastfeeding this
child and the one before she noticed that when she got a bit full, one spot
on the lateral side of one breast would be particularly sore.  She never
developed a mastitis.  In April (3 mos after weaning) she noticed a "clogged
duct".  OB compressed it and a milky substance came out of her nipple.  She
got pregnant in May, and had a miscarriage in late June.  The lump is still
there and she wants to know what to do about it.  I wouldn't think that it
would be in response to the pregnancy because she had it before she got
pregnant.  Does it sound like a galactocele?  I have her treating it over the
weekend as if it's a clogged duct, but I will be calling her back on Tuesday
with your wisdom!  Thanks, Claudia Globerger RN/IBCLC
