So, I’m 7 weeks tomorrow with baby #2. I breastfed my first for ten months until he weaned himself off (which I was bummed about as we were hoping to make it to 12 months but pumping wasn’t working very well). My son is now 5 years old and I’ve always had some milk still and would sometimes randomly leak. Well lately I’ve felt like I had a clogged duct and have been in a lot of pain so I went ahead and hand expressed in the shower just a little and it relieved a lot of the pain. However it then came back a little later and I hand expressed again (just a few drops, which honestly did make a huge difference). BUT I’ve read that it’s not good to do as it can bring on contractions. I have an appt on Friday so I will try not to until I can ask my doctor, but wanted to know if anyone else had any advice or similar experiences. Thanks!
