Hey ladies!
I think I have a clogged milk duct 😢
I've tried a warm shower, heating pad and massaging my boob but nothing feels better yet. Can anyone else recommend anything?
Thank you ladies! I used coconut oil mixed with lavender oil and massaged my breast and pumped a lot, before I would feed my son I would out warm water on and it helped a ton! Thank you all.
Also, after the clog is gone you can definitely still be sore/tender :( there have been times I thought I still had a clog but it was just residual soreness :(
Then definitely don't do cabbage it will cause you to dry up. Try hand expressing and massaging and when you feed babe massage the spot. Another thing that helps is if you lay babe down on the bed and then feed over the top (uncomfy I know lol) but having your breast dangling. That can help work the clog as well. Or you can try a warm compress and pumping some if babe isn't nursing enough :) hope this helps!
I don't have any on hand, it's really late and I don't want to take the baby out in the cold. I'm about to try lavender oil and potatoes? Hopefully that will help.😞
