Hi-I've been on the protocol and pumping since last November. We were placed with a birthmom and she is now due 8/6/7. Currently I'm making 9-10oz/day- pumping 5-6 times a day. I plan to up my pummping in July to 4am/7/10/1/4/7/10pm hoping to up my supply alittle bit. I've had a few blocked nipples and a bout of mastitis during these past months of pumping. My question is for the past, maybe, 1- 2 months I've notice lumps in both my breasts, they are pea to peanut m&m size, they are hard, in both breasts, and non-tender. My sister in law thought they might be blocked ducks - but they don't hurt and they haven't really changed much since I've noticed them - I've tried to compress them a bit but unsuccessfully. Has anyone else had experience with this? Should I see a doctor? Thanks for your insight! Wish me luck on my increased pumping (with our 3 year old twin boys - I don't do well on lack of sleep!!! )
Thanks again,
Julia

a lot of women have small lumps in their breasts. I am one of them. But you want to have the checked out anyway. Just to make sure its all okay. I would not take chances with it. Better safe than sorry
