“Breastfeeding pain”
I am a breastfeeding mother and my right breast has been hurting for the past hour or so, and I can’t seem to figure out why, when my daughter is eating off the right breast it is really painful.

You could have a clogged Breast milk duct that could become an infection. Apply hot compresses/wet hot washcloth and try to pump more frequently if you have a pump. You should check with your doctor to ensure there isn't an infection of the breast.

Hello. I'm unsure of your issue has resolved but it could be caused by breast engorgement.
