I do not latch my baby, but i express my milk regularly about 7-8 times per day. But i often get clogged ducts. Why is this so? What would u advise?

6y ago

I would feel throbbing pain on my affected breast. Since i dont latch, i would pump and very little milk would be expressed, unlike the normal times if i were to pump. I tried hand express, warm compress etc, but it still hurts. Like u also mentioned, i can feel lumps on the affected breast. What do u suggest in order to prevent recurring clogged ducts?
