Stop pumping? Pls read

Question

I’ve been exclusively pumping for 5weeks since my sons birth. Tried breastfeeding but i have short nipples and an inverted nipple, nipple shields didn’t work. I put out a ton of milk 6-10oz per session, I have about an 200oz stash already BUT I keep getting clogged ducts. I pump every 4 hours for 20 mins massage, moist heat and I take sunflower letchen. Still clogged ducts. I’m tired in pain and frustrated. I want to quit. What do y’all think?

Answer

Pump a little longer if you can and see if that helps. 30 minutes. Massage while pumping use heat. Been eping for a year myself. You got this

Answer

If you have a haakaa, put about a tsp of epsom salt in the bottom, fill with warm water, and suction so that nipple is submerged in the water. It busts my clogs every time. Might take a couple times to get the whole clog out but it works! I saw it on legendairy milk Instagram

Answer

I keep getting clogged ducts too! Im nursing and think it could be the nipple shield I use. Not sure what else it could be. It’s sucks but I am going to try and stick it out.  Eventually get the baby off of using the shields.

Answer

i breastfeed & pump and i have an oversupply (i havent stopped producing milk since i had my first son 4 years ago) i feed baby until he’s done & then pump until my flow slows down as low as possible. as for the clogged duct, ice then heat, hand express in the shower, i also wipe my nipples w/ a hot washcloth after every session & put lanolin on them

Answer

I use a handheld vibrator when pumping and have a clog! Also if you’re pushing on a spot on your boob when your pumping it could be causing the clog, if I’m not using the vibrator I’m hand expressing kinda like milking a cow while pumping lol it’s helped a ton
