2/10: plugged duct

2/10

Feeds: 8, average interval 2h52
Sleep: 12h36, total 8 (5 daytime naps)
Diapers: 8


Today was a terrible day for mommy. Last night Boom did not eat much during 11:30 dreamfeed so mom's breast was still hard but mom was too lazy to pump. Woke up at 3 to painful breast so had to pump. Then Boom woke up again so mommy nursed Boom to sleep. Had to nurse both sides.

Breast still sore and start to feel sick and cold. In the morning became very sick with fever, cold, headache, sore. Never felt so bad before. Felt like dying. Lied in bed freezing all day. Grandma had to take care of Boom except for nursing every 2.5 hour which mommy could barely get up. Tried different nursing position on the sore breast but still plugged duct and painful lumps. Still had to pump the other breast out each time. Applied hot and cold compress but did not work. Finally called doctor. She arrived in the evening and was really nice, using hand to press and get the plugged duct out. Mom had a bit of mastisis. Felt much better after doctor left but still sick and tired. Nursed Boom at 6:40. Family had dinner then nurse Boom to sleep at 8:45. Had dreamfeed at 11:30. Ate well on both sides so mommy was hoping Boom would sleep through the night.
