Suki Jezz Breast Infection Story
“Scars have the strange power to remind us that our past is real.” ― Cormac McCarthy, All the Pretty Horses Well, just like how it sounds, this is one of my memorable experiences, but in a painful way… 25 Aug 2014 – it was just 2 weeks after my baby was born. I was breastfeeding as usual, and I did have oversupplied breast milk at that point of time, due to tremendous food and nutritious soup cooked by my confinement lady. One day, I woke up having my left breast swollen. It is at the upper part, just below my shoulder, and near to my armpit. Identified as milk blockage, it was painful, swollen, and it appeared as a reddish lump for a few days even I had tried all the ways: Warm compression, baby suction; pressing the swollen part hard towards to the areola/ nipple direction, to encourage milk flow. You name it, I tried all. It didn’t work at all, I went back to Gleneagles Ampang to look for my lactation lady who guided me how to breastfeed my newborn while I was hospitalized
