Sharp beast pains during Breastfeeding
Hello,
I'm a Mother of a Seven-Month old baby Girl . I was exclusively breastfeeding my baby till her 6 Months of age. Now I have started solids. Still, I feed her at regular intervals. For the past 2 weeks, I get sudden beast pains, which looks like breast engorgement. I feel the breasts are full, warm and hard. I tried pumping and feeding her more; still at times I get these sharp pains which accompanies with a Fever.
Kindly help me with this! Let me know what should be done!

If u are getting fever then u need antibiotics. It's mostly infection of the breast called mastitis.
