Clogged milk ducts - swollen armpits

I’m 6 days post partum and I have clogged milk ducts on both my armpits. Baby is not latching well so I have been pumping my milk out. Any remedies for swollen armpits?

Hi, 1st time mom here, 4 mths postpartum. I have swollen armpits too. May I know if it will eventually go away? After stopping breastfeeding or how long does it take? I do pump & latch too. thanks

It happen to me too even though my baby latch well.. What you need to do is just to massage your armpit.. Push it downwards towards your breast.. It will go away gradually..

if you are going to do the jamu massage, your masseuse can help to clear the lumps by massaging them
