Hello before I get into it I know this is mostly my fault but my son’s feeding hours are bizarre so bare with me. I think Im developing or already having issue with mastitis. My sons feeding hours are pretty great and he sleeps through majority of the night so I don’t pump as often (every 2-3 hours) at night like I would during the day. Hes two months and sleeps from 7pm to 4am ish? First couple of times I was able to fix the issue but it’s seriously painful this morning. I tried the hot shower, massage while pumping etc, any other remedies I can try? When should I get worried?

Ouch. I didn't realise you could get this from not feeding regularly enough. Once i had a lot of pain, it only lasted a day though. I put a warm compress on, as much as possible. I think i had a clogged duct so i still fed baby, it hurt so badly. But i thought that might gm help unclog it.
Ive heard sunflower lecithin can help, i bought some but it resolved before I tried it. So not sure.
