Armpit discomfort
Hi mommies!
Second time mom, first time being able to breastfeed.
I noticed after I pumped that I have a subtle discomfort in the right armpit area. I do not have redness or feel any lumps.
I'm still not obtaining a huge supply. My right gives more than my left. Baby is less than a week old.
I'm new to this so I don't know what is normal vs what isn't. Also, the breast in general is not sore, just around the side and mainly in the armpit.

@Casey thanks! Will do that 🙂
I had a blocked duct under my armpit whilst pregnant and it got worse when I was breastfeeding. I found massaging it when in a hot shower helped and also I put a cold cabbage leaf under my armpit and it really helped x

Look up lymphatic drainage techniques for breastfeeding. Usually just lightly stroking around the top of your breast and chest and armpit area. We have glands all the way over there and so breastfeeding can make you uncomfortable there!
