Blocked Duct

I'm having a stabbing pain in my breast, could this be a blocked duct? If so, how do i make it feel better?

Is the area hard? Or is it red and sensitive to touch? If its the latter that could be mastitis. If its just a blocked duct the following is what works for me and I get them a lot. While your feeding her (I'm assuming your bfing) massage the area. Use warm compresses. Offer the breast a lot and if you're pumping do that too. Try nursing on all fours, the gravity helps. Massage the area even when you aren't feeding.

No and no. It just hurts like a bitch while she's feeding. It just started doing this last feeding. I had to switch breasts it hurt so bad.

Hmm...that's how I knew I was getting one because that's the only time it hurts to feed DS. If it doesn't feel better in a day or two I would call your doc.
