Have a hot shower, and massage the breast under water to help break up the lump. Use a warm compress to help soften the lump – try a warm (not hot) heat pack, wrapped in a soft cloth and held to your breast for a few minutes. Check that your bra isn’t too tight. You might even want to take it off during feeds.
Secondly, is it normal to feel hardness in the breast?
Many hard lumps in breast tissue are harmless. They can be caused by hormonal changes and might come and go on their own. These lumps are often easily moved with your fingers and might be tender to the touch. Lumps caused by breast cancer generally don’t cause pain and can’t be easily moved.
Beside this, does a blocked milk duct feel like a lump?
Clogged milk ducts feel like a firm, sore lump in the breast, and may be reddened and warm to the touch. Clogged milk ducts are common in breastfeeding moms and can be caused by anything from missing feedings to wearing a bra that is too tight.
