First clogged duct

Ashley

Ok I’ve been lucky enough to make it this far but I woke up with one today.

I’ve taken a hot shower and attempted to massage (owwww). And I used a heating pad and some massage. I’ve laid over my son in the pull up position for nursing. I’ve tried to point his nose toward where it is.

I’ve been trying to put baby on that boob as much as possible but it’s his least fav boob. I feel like it’s not as painful but not gone.

It’s been recommended that I pump leaning over and squeeze down.

How long do I need to keep working on this painful thing versus just letting it work itself out with nursing? What are the least painful options?
