Hi mommies! 1yr and 4mos na si baby and im breastfeeding. 2days ng sobrang sakit ng left breast ko at parang lalagnatin ako. Ano po kaya ito?

Engorged breast can be a sign of a plugged duct. Medyo mainit ba 'pag hinawakan? May redness in one spot? If this is accompanied with fever, one culprit could be mastitis pero mas mabuti na i-konsulta mo na sa doctor mo para sure. I've almost had mastitis. Ang sabi sakin nung lactation counsellor na nakausap ko, mabuti nalang at nagpa-massage na ako dahil super engorged na pala yung breasts ko. It felt always heavy always, at kahit na magpadede ako 24/7, masakit pa rin. I-try mo i-massage on your own. Warm compress and cold compress right after may also help. At most importantly, breastfeed in different positions. Try mo mag-cradle, football hold, side lying or laid back. Usually kasi, may naddrain na ducts ang isang specific na position.
