I know noting about BF but I am such a pick, there is no way I would have a lump in there and not squeezed it or pushed it  :-[ :-[ :-[

Michelle, is there a blister on your nipple? Piercing that with a steralized needle would help, otherwise draining as well as you can with your pump after warm compress and gentle massage - don't really go squeezing it too much. Inbetween you want the cold compress. Absolutely the best would be cabbage leaves from the fridge with quark or ricotta inside (I know, I know, sounds awful but it has magic stuff in there that helps) if the smell's too much just a cabbage leaf or if you want to go more hi-tech a gel pad or something.

Hi, Yaya..me got the same problem when my lo was 2.5 mo...and i was only BF for 2 weeks !
it started on my left one...fever...then the next 3 weeks the right one became sore also...another fever.

i wouldn't suggest expressing..as I tried w my 1st one and it wasn't helping at all...the milk came out but my boob swelled badly. the hot water compress helped a little but gotta pass the fever anyway..
so i just rest and wait for it to be over...fuuu...

Hugs

Thanks all! Really thought I was done with all of that LOL! Did warm compresses (forgot the cold) all day yesterday and the bump kept moving towards the nipple. This morning was REALLY sore and I woke up with a slight temp (nothing compared to the mas I am used to LOL) so I did warm compresses then shower and then expressed and Low and Bheold some milk came out! Was surprising to see I must say after all this time and after stopping BFing due to no milk lol! Wasnt much just a few drops but all that has moved the bump to on the nipple (katie, it isnt a blister on nipple, just a hard lump and red lines where the duct has blocked) do I am hoping it's making its way quickly and calmly to the nearest exit!! Won't express anymore, dont really want to be producing more milk LOL all very strange. Last Q; seeign as it's so 'mild' compared with proper mastitis do I need to see a doc? didnt for last time (40 degree temp and very very sick)?

Michelle - I would continue with the warm/cold compresses and try to relax as much as possible.  If it doesn't seem to be getting any better at all tomororw I'd call the doc.
