Hello Lactnetters, I've been away for awhile. I'm catching up and enjoying posts from some experts who have joined. I have a question. A mother of a 9 month old experiences pain in the breast one hour after feeding. She describes it as extreme aching. She had this experience earlier in one breast and not the other. It was extreme enough that she weaned off that breast and has been nursing on one side for quite awhile. Now the pain is beginning in her only lactating breast. She is using "alleve" which helps. I'm sorry. I don't know the correct chemical name. She wonders if this is safe. Baby is nursing only twice a day, mainly because of the pain. Could it be "duct crampin"? Her doctor suggests weaning.
