... here's a question for you. My left breast is bigger than my right (always has been), when I was feeding Josh it could feel the let down a lot more than my right. Also when it was engorged it would hurt a bit at the top. Now i'm not feeding him (he weaned at 7 months) I just that engorged hard feeling in my left breast. Sometimes it really hurts. Should I talk to my dr about it, or just put it down to one of those post baby things?? ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

I'd say it's a random post baby thing. As long as there's no redness or swelling or pain or fever then you're fine. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

He weaned 5 months ago, did you stop lactating fairly soon afterwards or could it possibly be dragging on?
It wouldn't hurt to mention it to your doctor. -------------

I dryed up very fast after he weaned. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Is it a lump? Has it grown shrunk or stayed the same size? Has it moved? Is it hot or sore?
No medical experience here, they just seem like relevant questions. ETA: You already said it's sometimes sore and it's not really a lump when I re-read your post. I think you should probably get it checked, at least to put your own mind at rest - plus your doctor hasn't seen you in at least a week he/she might be missing you  -------------

No we haven't seen him for a bit I couldn't feel a lump. Don't worry none of us have medical training but always ask and answer random medical questions ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |
