Having blocked ducts. Tortured myself hand expressing. Finally a good 100ml. And I toppled it off. Sigh.??

Oh! That is so bad. It happens when the milk is produced more than it is being taken out. Because of this the tissue around the duct gets swollen and inflammation on the duct, causing the blockage. If this happens, you should pump out the excess milk. When you feel the breast to be hard and nerves stretched, you must either feed the baby and if it still has enough milk, pump it out. Experts also suggest that you should massage the breasts and apply warm compresses. Feeding is the best way to declass the milk ducts.
