Blocked breast duct - After feeding Zachary for 6 months, I found myself with a hardened side of my breast. There are different milk ducts leading to the nipple area. After a while, if that area is not relieved, it may become engorged which is painful. This is a rare occurance, but it does happen when Mom is tired. One should work through the pain until the breast softens.
Doctors recommmend antibiotics.
Breastfeeding is a changing relationship Your breastmilk is specially made for your baby. It gives the child what it needs. It can be satisfying for both the mother and child. When you breastfeed, the body secretes oxytocin which is the same thing secreted in the body after orgasm. Breastfeeding naturally calms the baby and calms the mother.
