[charlotteheys85]

i've been boobie feeding for 10days, and in last few days i've noticed lil yellow bruises on my boobs? and my left boob is very tender, and hurts more when feeding on it? any ideas xxx

When you say it hurts when feeding, is that when baby suckles? Or a bruised feeling? You may have a blocked duct.
More info here for you hun http://www.babycentre.co.uk/baby/breast ... ckedducts/
But do keep an eye on it incase it turns to Mastitis.

As for the yellow bruising i am not sure hun, maybe mention it to the midwife/HV when you see her next.

I would take a guess at blocked duct myself. I remember feeding Calleigh with a blocked duct and it was painful to feed her off it which subsided toward the end of the feed. I also gently massaged the bruised area whilst she fed.
I also had nice warm baths and massaged it in the bath too.
It took a few days to go.

Hope you start feeling better soon
