I am direct latching a 2 mth old and exclusively pumping for my 15mth old. I have been getting recurring blocked ducts. Usually, i'd just put on hot compress and massage it under hot shower thereafter. But the block ducts have gotten stubborn lately as i have not been pumping as we were out and about for the past 1 week. I wouldnt want to try the cold cabbage cos afraid it will affect supply as many mummies mentioned. Will calling a massage lady help? Any other tips u mummies can share? Also, any possible reasons for recurring blocked ducts even when i have been latching on demand? TIA MUMMIES! ?

You can try taking some lechtin. It doesn't cut ur supply down, it helps to thin your milk so it doesn't get block easily

Yes. Less fatty milk. Or. you can try this method if you don't wish to thin your milk. As you pump, i will also squeeze the breast so it will flow out more and better
