Anyone have breast pain due to pumping or clogged milk ducts?

Question

pumping or clogged milk ducts?" /> 
What did you do to help it? How long did it take to go away?

Answer

I did when mainly pumped with my second baby and didn’t with my third because I hardly ever pumped. I found that massaging them out in a hot shower while hand expressing worked well.

Answer

Yes, I got a clogged duct a few times and it’s SO painful. I think I was overproducing/pumping. You have to scale back slowly. 
I used a warm compress and lotion to massage the duct until it released. I freaked out the first time it happened and surprisingly that doesn’t help 😆 Just relax and keep working on it, it will eventually work!

Answer

Hand express and massage  in hot shower seems to help me the most. I also take sunflower lecithin daily as I am prone to clogs

Answer

If you’re breastfeeding still, get on hands and knees above the baby and drop your nipple into baby’s mouth. Gravity will actually help get all the milk out and clear a clogged duct. You can obviously hand express in shower or use a damp cloth and massage when pumping too. I always found that baby was best at clearing the clog though so I’d definitely try bf-ing first. Also point the baby’s nose towards where the clog is if you can

Answer

Put a hot wet washcloth on one and massage it in the shower while pumping the other one or you can massage the one your pumping with the hot washcloth. I did this three times a day for about three days and it went away. That and cabbage leaves in your bra.
