A. once do hot fomentation...and do massage from upwards towards nipple to remove the lump..in case you feel severe pain or child seems fussy while feeding..you need to have medications.. visit your gynaecologist in that case

A. Hello dear parent! It can be due to blocked milk ducts. Try applying warm compress on the paining area to reduce the discomfort. Please consult your doctor for evaluation and advice if the problem persists. Eat a well balanced healthy diet and keep yourself hydrated all through the day while breastfeeding your baby. Good luck and take care.
