Hi. I received a call today from a mom with a 3 week old boy. She has a sore spot on one breast, baby refuses to nurse that side. Sore tender spot since the weekend, it is not hot or red but she can feel a lump. She does not have any "typical" mastitis symptoms. She pumped that side last night and only removed about 2cc's, when baby does nurse that side she can't hear him swallowing. (though she said she knows he does) I am a lay person....just a nursing mom with a desire to help other nursing moms. I myself just last week had a plugged duct and her symptoms sound just like mine. I told her what I did and what it sounded like to me. But I also asked if I could ask the experts. (Obviously she said yes) I told her she could pump since baby was refusing to nurse that side. (He will nurse the other side just fine) What are your thoughts?
