Bleb

My nipple had a sharp painful spot. I noticed it was a hard and very white spot, somewhat like a huge whitehead. Really *ouch*. I'd heard about milk blebs(you can see a photo on that webpage), but never had one before.

I didn't quite want to try the awfully scary treatments I'd read about. Decided I'd monitor the situation a little and try to get baby to soften and suck away the little clog, just by nursing frequently at that spot.

The spot seemed to soften after a day. Whew! By the 3rd day, thankfully, it disappeared. It worked! Baby solved it - once again.
