Good evening,
Can anyone out there tell me if they have seen what appears to be a 
gelatinous like milk substance being expressed from a blocked breast. This 
mother was very engorged when I saw her on day 10. We managed to get the 
breast drained -65 mL, in the milk there was some threads of mucously milk. 
This I have seen before and have attributed to being responsible for the 
blockage. It is 10 days since this breast was cleared and appeared to be 
working well. The mother had very damaged nipples and had not been able to 
feed from this breast (so was expressing) and had returned to bf 2 days prior 
to this latest blockage. This latest blockage she managed to clear by pumping 
and when she emptied the milk into another container saw a large gelatinous 
mass! She has saved it for me to have analysed. Has anyone dealt with this 
problem before and do you have any ideas about what it may be and how to 
treat it? She was quite amazed that she didnt feel it being released, did it 
form the mass after being expressed?
