I'm breastfeeding my son who is two weeks old and i've been getting some sharp shooting pains in both.

breasts. Is this a normal thing to have? I get them a few times a day and not just when i'm feeding.
Answer:
Been there. I can't say it's the same in your case, but in mine it meant a blocked duct. Painful, but treatable. Call your doctor.

It depends are your breast big

It is very normal. I got them too, but eventually it stops though. Congratulations on your new baby, and good luck.

honey that isnt the worst part of it. when you stop breastfeeding and your'e milk is drying up you will think that your'e breasts are going to fall off they hurt so bad but, it all goes with the pains of mommyhood. good luck!

Unfortunately this is completely normal. Your breasts are going thru some major changes right now with breastfeeding. They should subside with time. Hang in there as long as you can. Good luck!

i had that too when i was feeding my son...mostly it was when he had just latched on but sometimes it was when i was a bit 'over full'

i dont think its anything to worry too much about.

If your breasts are engorged you will be getting those pains. Try pumping a little bit extra. Your baby may not be eating as much as your breasts are supplying. Also try to massage them, when you massage them in a hot shower that should relieve some of the pain.

IMMIDIATLY CONSULT YOU DOCTOR. w/O GOING INTO DETAILS IT COULD BE NOTHING BUT IT COULD LEAD TO YOU MILK GLANDS INFECTION

Hi Congrats on your new baby :-)

Tell your district nurse about the pain just to be on the safe side - however it is probably normal
