I have what? Really?!?

Just when I thought my milk was finally dried up I start to leak so of course I do what any normal woman who doesn't want to have milk coming out of her breast for so long that she will be able to breastfeed her grandchildren......NO, Dakota is not going to be a daddy.....I slapped on the only tight bra I had left on.

Then IT happened, Memphis leaned on me and I screamed....I bet my neighbors thought Chris was killing me....I threw her off moved her away from me, went in my bedroom and checked my boobs. I felt a lump under my nipple so I did what everyone does, searched the Internet to see what was wrong. I came up with breast cancer and mastitis and thought mastitis could NEVER happen to a person that hasn't breastfed/pumped in over a year...right?

I didn't want to go to the Dr so I did the next best thing, I went to Kristy, Rena, Tina and Christy and was told by them to go to the Dr. Kristy did tell me to feel myself up to see if I was hot and told me to talk to another friend that just went through this. When I posted 'now it itches' as my facebook status 2 other friends asked what was going on. They told me it could be a blocked milk duck duct and told me what I could do to get it unblocked. So a hot shower....which I was avoiding to dry the milk up....was what I did, along with playing with myself rubbing my boob, I did get some milk to come out and it felt better.

The lump is gone but if I don't keep squeezing milk out it gets sore, to keep it from turning into mastitis I read not to wear a tight bra and I have to keep up with the hot showers and squeezing milk out....at this rate I will be able to breastfeed my grandchildren....again, Dakota is NOT going to be a daddy.
