Sorry to hear that, blocked ducts shouldn't happen so often and if its so painful it could be mastitis, have you checked with a gynae/LC? Sometimes you might need to take antibiotics to get rid of it. Try to pump/latch at least once at night. If you have oversupply, applying cold cabbage leaf to your breasts might help (though it may reduce your supply also)
Use hot compress, massage and apply pressure on the lumps when pump. I also taking lecithin to help with the clogged milk ducts but I find most effective is to pump round the clock. I wake up twice at night to pump. Either my baby or my boobs will wake me up!
Yeah thats true. Thank u for helping!
Had the same experience. Had to get the Malay massage lady to help massage until the clogs are cleared. All the other methods in the “textbook” don’t work for me - own massage, warm shower, warm cold compression, latching, pumping.
Its alright, i massaged my boobs to express any milk and emptied it after pumping. And yes i saw that supplement from legendairy, but didnt purchase it yet. Thank u for helping. Its better now, really hope the clogs wont come back!
Pump.. no choice . Slowly drag the interval of pumping. Then can rest abit more. Lavie massager also works
Apply a heating pad or warm cloth for 20 minutes at a time. Take care!
My wife take sunflower lecithin religiously and it helps
Read up on that too... yet to purchase one to try tho. Thanks for the suggestion.
I’ll force myself to wake up to pump
Yes i will do that. But if the pain still persists, i cant even sleep. No sleeping position is comfortable since my boobs will still hurt so bad.
Pump it out.
