Why this happens
Breast pain, breast inflammation (blocked ducts), and mastitis often occur when milk isn’t being removed effectively from the breasts — from skipped feeds, a poor latch, tight clothing, or stress. Inflammation can build quickly, and if not managed, it can progress to infection or more serious complications.
Why it’s a problem
Painful breasts are a sign that something isn’t working right and needs attention. Breastfeeding with pain is exhausting — physically and mentally. You may feel feverish, drained, or anxious about what to do next. Without the right care, pain can worsen, feeding might feel unbearable, and supply may drop as a result.
