I had a bad experience 2 days ago. My breast (left side) was full of milk and it felt like rock (pain). I tried all method to pump it out (my usual method 'coz my baby had nipple confusion and I could not feed her with my breast) for half day but it didn't work. I took a hot shower, then use hot pack to put on my breast...then massage....I almost burned my breast with the very hot pack....:-( I were so exhausted, pain, unhappy......I cried for half hour...
My maid taught me to feed the baby with my body and hoping the baby could help me to cure the blocked milk channel...I were so scare of the baby, I didn't do it. I washed my nipple and tried to peel off off some skin. A few hours later, I pumped again. I could pumped a bit out. It helped a little.
Now, I plan to quit breast feed. I feel relax with this decision. I though baby will understand...mommy is trying the very best! She doesn't want to drive mommy crazy.
For the mommy who still breast feeding....keep going.
