Breastfeeding clog

Question

Oh no,there’s a milk clog on my breast. Is it because I have forgotten to pump during one of the timing? Any ways to unclog it? Will it go away if I go back to pumping every 3 hours?

Massage it, its gonna be painful but it helps. Use warm towel to cover and massage it. If its too painful can hire a lactation lady to help. If u pump regularly again it will be better, but for now masaage n ease the clog ducts first.

It could be. Sometimes if you drag for too long, or irregular pumping schedules . It happens - Let baby suckle often till you feel your breast soften. - Shower with hot water while massage your breast for at least 10-20 mins till breast soften - prolly can pump longer, but if you feel doesn’t work, massage / let baby suckle. If your milk fats are very thick, you can consider lecithin ( check the ingredients whether you can consume ) If it is very painful, and harden ( mastitis ). Quickly consult a doc or make a appointment with breast massage lady.
