Guest guest Posted January 2, 2009 Report Share Posted January 2, 2009 Hello Women,I wonder if you can help - I just put this request to Lactnet and I know I will get some valuable info from you smart women.I have permission to post from a mother. Baby is 4 weeks old - first baby - born after a long labor, attempted vacuum - then a Caesarean. Mother contacted me for sore nipples and plugged duct. I have offered mother phone support as I have beentravelling - sent her to local BF support group. Some of her complaints suggest a possible candida overgrowth. She is going to get sonogram on breast for a lump that will not go away that sometimes gets the size of a golf ball and for a couple of days was red and warm. She was on a course of cipromax post pregnancy for UTI + fever. She has been wearing a bra 24/7 - I suggested some free time from the bra.She called me tonight - she nursed baby on non-lump side then nursed her on the lump side then began expressing and then realized baby was taking in a black, foul smelling milk - she panicked - called ped - who suggested AIM and expressing to keep up supply. Now the lump is gone - the 4 week old lump! I think this may have been a galactocele. My question to you all is "has anyone else seen black milk?" I checked the archives - I did find a correlation between mynocycline and black milk = she does not think she had this and she said the milk was very foul smelling.
