After regular, relatively uneventful nursing for 8 months, my breasts and nipples have started to hurt over the last few days. Yesterday, it felt like there was an undrained sac in the right breast (it was like one part of the breast was engorged, for lack of a better description, like a little sausage inside) which went away about halfway through a nursing - I'm guessing it was clogged and eventually gave way?? I don't know. And my nipples have gotten really sore with pumping and nursing, although the schedule hasn't really changed. They feel like they felt during the first days of nursing and pumping.
I've been, over the last 14 days or so, trying to get DS to STTN, but it doesn't really feel like engorgement.
Any ideas?
TIA!
