Hi all,
This is probably vague and perhaps completely unrelated to breastfeeding but I wanted to ask in case anyone had experienced similar.
My little one is 12 days old. He was being combi fed for various reasons but the last 4 days have been breastfeeding only and I felt like we were getting somewhere. Ive been expressing through the day to allow hubby to do one night feed. This was working well until I woke up Monday with very bruised feeling boobs - it hurt a lot to even lean forward. This has been accompanied by some red blotches that come and go, shivers and hot sweats on and off and a general run down flu like feeling. Is this normal at this point? Could it be that Im not eating enough? Weve continued feeding and Im doing all the night feeds currently in case its a blocked duct but massage isnt helping and if the little mite elbows me in the boob one more time I may cry mid feed! Midwife is due on Thursday - should I raise this with her?
Thank you in advance for any responses!
