Linda Jones is pulling back the curtain on a little-known breastfeeding side effect: painful, swollen armpits filled with breast milk.

, a platform where new and expectant parents can find lactation consultants, birth and postpartum doulas, and other support, says there are a number of treatments for lactation engorgement.

"If the parent is unsure, they should call their midwife or doctor to rule out mastitis," she explains,"and connect to a lactation consultant for professional advice." "So first we heat the breast, and then we would pump and massage. You can even use the end of an electric toothbrush —the vibration will empty those lobules," she explains."And then after she pumps, we would want to ice the area to discourage milk from filling back in."Both Weiss and Shapiro say that it is perfectly safe to continue breastfeeding when you're experiencing painful engorgement, though Weiss stresses that continuing is entirely up to the lactating parent.

"We can do hard things, and if it's just a matter of being scared that it's going to be hard, I really encourage and motivate my moms to keep going," she adds."Because moms are accomplished — whether our accomplishments are something that we can put on our resume or not, it doesn't matter. Parenting is hard work. It's hard work, but it's good work.

"I think it's really important to put it out there, that this could be a side effect or that this is a possibility and what could happen," Jones adds."You want people to know the good parts of parenting, but you kind of also want people to know the bad parts. And this isn't the best part of having a child, but I think it'd be important to put it out there and talk about it.

Thanks. Just what I needed to see 🤦🏿‍♂️

Don’t really care but is this truly helpful?

WHAT THE !!

Misleading headline. This is not 'very rare,' even the article says it's not uncommon. Nor is it a 'side effect of childbirth.' Many women (myself included) find out when they're pregnant or after birth they have breast tissue under their arm.

Someone else will have to give birth for me lol

Talk to your Dr; not Today

Lies. The poisonous covid 'vaccine' did it.

Is that not HS? (Hidradenitis Suppurativa)

The DSM-IV proves this is false!

Committee rejects $125K for mom of man shot by Chicago police 29 times: 'Justified, but unfortunate'A Chicago City Council committee denied a police shooting settlement after giving $5M to the family of Laquan McDonald, killed by Jason Van Dyke. Is this the guy that stabbed a cop in the face? Now it’s common sense if this person was shot with Twice as many Bullets as Laquan McDonald the Settlement pay out should reflect that. CPD and the FOP don’t apologize for killing our Citizens so the pay should send a message as well. Rouge policing will not be tolerated here. You forgot to mention he was threatening his mother with a knife and then when police responded to her call for help he stabbed one of the officers in the face.

Cleveland mom upset after school bus driver turns away daughter because of her maskHaley Smith said the bus driver refused to let her daughter on the bus because she only had a cloth mask. This is what happens when the self-righteous are easily brainwashed Give the child a proper mask and teach her how to wear it so it covers her nose and mouth. Solved. The bus driver might want to consider having several new masks on hand to give to kids who have none or only a cloth one, which is useless. This isn’t hard. Sounds like the mother is NOT being truthful. Notice the TARGET issue
