Any suggestions ladies? Another clogged duct!

Question

That's twice in 2 days! This time it's on the opposite side. I'm gonna start taking Lecithin but is there anything else I can do to prevent these!? This hurts so much, it makes me want to quit pumping!

Answer

Make sure you are emptying and changing schedule slowly. Also make sure to take lecthin regularly especially when dropping pump. Also hand massage at the end to make sure you at empty and do a warm compress or hot shower bf pumping. This will help with clogs

Answer

I know you mentioned dropping a pump today on accident. Do you think that had anything to do with it? I had a clogged duct and took a steaming hot shower and massaged it in the shower and ran out and pumped right after. Worked really well!

Answer

I have had a crusty covering before but don't have any now. I was able to clear the ducts both days with heat and massage but dang it hurts!!

Answer

Do you have any white dots on your nipples? Research bleb or milk blister. I had one and it felt like I had a clogged milk duct. It can look like a blister or just crusty milk. If you have one your milk can't empty out of that duct and it hurts. But if you remove the skin or pop the blister then pump it will feel almost immediately better.
