Help!! Over supply and repeat clogged ducts
Looking for good advice! At 2 weeks postpartum I got mastitis. I was pumping due to over supply and baby not emptying breast enough. I never pump at night and baby only wakes up once to eat so maybe that caused it but I keep wanting to pump less so milk supply drops. I’m so stressed because I just wanna nurse baby and not have to pump but breast will feel so full so I pump. It use to be every 4 hrs now hrs ever 5 hrs. I wanna slowly drop pumping but idk how since pumping and nursing alot helps with clogged ducts. I have a huge clogged duct now again and worried abt mastitis. I fevered for like a day at 100.0 temp but it went away but the clogged duct is still there! I take sunflower lecithin idk what else to do. I massage a lot so idk how I even got these clogged ducts it’s so overwhelming. I made a appointment with a lactation consultant cause I can’t deal with having this every two weeks or so. Does anyone have any advice on how to lower supply and drop pumping without worsening clogged ducts?
