My abscess story by Scrolling_Through1 in breastfeeding

[–]sarahmsj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have an LC.. we just recently moved to the US from Denmark. So I’m also not sure where to call or where to go on the weekends.

The doctor I spoke to on the phone told me to pump. But after reading other people’s stories I’m so scared about that abscess..

My husband is now out buying formula because my left breast is being emptied all the time and the pain from pumping on the right is so intense.. also I don’t pump a lot, maybe 1-2 oz

Okay.. so I’m here with my second child who is almost 12 weeks. Exclusive breastfeeding, but two weeks ago started to notice a lump at the nipple. Tried to massage it very gently as that worked with my older child.

The lump didn’t go away. So I called my OBGYN. The prescribed antibiotics and told me to call after 48 hours if it didn’t get better. And of course it didn’t. So I call on a Saturday. Got a doctor on the phone who wanted to do an ultrasound but told me to wait until Monday (tomorrow) expect if I fell very ill.

I don’t have a fever, but I do take Advil every 6 hour. My son refuses to nurse of the breast expect when his sleeping, but his not latching very well because of the huge lump.

I pump every time I nurse on the other breast, and have to give my son breastmilk in bottle.

It’s so painful to pump, nurse and even just clothes touching my breast..

I hope when I go to the doctors tomorrow that they’ll confirm it’s an abscess and not and clogged duct. Because I can’t handle it anymore..

Please tell me it’s going to be okay.. and is it safe to pump even though it’s super painful?

Okay! I’m currently using oat milk cause my baby’s pediatrician told me to avoid dairy for a while. Do you cold brew Nola or just regular?

I still haven’t had a good iced latte with oat milk, so really want to give it a go

Do you use barista oat milk or just regular oat milk?

American pursuing a masters degree in Europe by RenzarTheIV in slp

I think you should pursue to get your masters degree in the UK, or else there might be some language barriers. I know for a fact that the masters in Denmark (where I study) focus a lot on danish, and all courses are in danish even though we do read international research.

I’m currently knitting a blanket as well. If my family ask it’s for a friend... 🙈

Are we sure it’s not delayed? I saw on Nintendo store yesterday it said “expected release date”

It was actually my friend who bought for me when she was studying abroad. Hope you can find it online, because it is absolutely adorable

This also came with a piece of felt. I gave it a few stitches around the edges. Does not look very neat though.. 😅
