Hello and thanks for your post

The breasts go through quite a lot of changes during and after pregnancy.  The charity Breast Cancer Now have some information on this which you can read here. The NHS also has some information about the different changes that can happen after pregnancy and during breastfeeding at this link. 

Breasts can feel quite tender whilst you are breastfeeding. Swollen glands can go up and down and are not usually nothing to worry about.  If this symptom does not settle down over the next couple of weeks do let your GP know that you are concerned. If you are still in touch with your health visitor you could also give them a ring for further advice.

I hope you know more soon. Give us a ring if you want to talk any of this over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Kind regards,

Celene
