Hi, I am back after being on vacation and "no mail". I am working with a mother who has a 10 week old. She has been experiencing "pulling" in only one breast as the baby nurses. With each suck, she says it feels as though the breast tissue (ducts?) inside are literally being pulled and stretched rhythmically with each suck. I have suggested all the possibilities to her - candida, mastitis, breast injury or bruising, adhesions from previous surgery, improper breastpump use, back or shoulder strain, leaning over the baby to nurse, sleeping on this side or other causes of breast compression, etc. Nothing truly "rings a bell". She is able to tolerate the pain, but would like to know the cause as would I. She feels that latch and positioning are correct. Any thoughts would be appreciated. One other question...if I want to respond to a question, how do I respond to the entire list group instead of clicking on the writer's email link and thus sending a personal response. Still too new to this, I guess. Thanks!
