My baby is 4 months now and since past 3 weeks he has started sucking his thumb and has stopped breastfeeding. I need to express milk everytime and feed him. This has caused pain and sort of lump in my right breast.
What can be done for this.

Please visit a lactation consultant soon in person to help you drain the milk and reduce the lump. Don't delay as pain will increase if you delay. Later they will teach you how to prevent this problem. Continue expressing milk and giving.
