ORIGINAL: ownedblackbeauty how can it be uncomfortable? slave ty property of Master, Sir and spankingbeauty (cm.com) apparently you have never breast-fed anything. it was a VERY uncomfortable experience for this slave. done "right" without any infections, it was still uncomfortable. there are complications that can occur, even in the best of circumstances. quote:
if your breasts are sore and you have flu-like symptoms as well as fever and red streaks on your breast, you may have an infection in your milk ducts called mastitis. If you have any of these symptoms, call your doctor. If he or she finds that you have mastitis, the infection can be easily treated with antibiotics. You may also have a yeast (or thrush) infection in your breast. It's important that you call your doctor if you have any of these symptoms: shooting breast pain either during or after feedings pain deep within your breast strong pain in the breasts or nipples that doesn't get better after properly latching on and positioning your suckling nipples that are cracked, itchy, burning, and are pink, red, shiny, flaky, or have a rash with little blisters Sore breasts also may be a sign of a plugged milk duct, in which a particular duct gets clogged. a few words about "engorgement": quote:
especially during the first few days or weeks that you're breastfeeding. That's your body's way of saying that it's ready to feed . When your milk first comes in, your breasts become engorged, which can be painful for some women. This is called primary engorgement and lasts about 1 to 2 days if you continue to breastfeed and 5 to 6 days if you decide not to. But the longer you wait to breastfeed or pump - both initially and throughout your time nursing - the more uncomfortable and engorged your breasts may become. If you can't feed right away, use warm compresses and try to pump or manually express your milk. this post was made possible with help from the following website: http://kidshealth.org/parent/food/infants/breastfeed_discomfort.html
