Breastfeeding mamas, I need some advice. I have a clogged duct right below my nipple. I exclusively pump so the shield is covering the area where the duct is. How do I get rid of it if I can't massage it out while pumping because the shield is in the way?

Run the teeth of the comb over your skin. (Light pressure.) Never massage a clog upward OR too hard, because that won't help. I know it sounds weird but I promise the comb plus the warm water will help. Also keep pumping. I pumped, showered, then did warm compresses.
@tayek, and it's right below my nipple so would I need to massage upward
@tayek, how'd you use a comb? Like the smooth edge?
Massage with downward strokes, toward the nipple. It helps, I promise. I used a comb while in a warm shower and was able to pump the clog loose in like a day or so.
Warm compresses and massage that breast before pumping.
Looking to see if anyone knows the answer:
My insurance company covers a breast pump, they said I can get the Medela Breast Pump In-Style. Does anyone know if it's just the pump they send you...no attachments, or do they send you the hoses & shields too?
Girls what company takes blue cross blue shield for breast pumps I'm due next month and I don't have one yet and I can't afford a really expensive one
I just had a doctors appointment and got a prescription to get a breast pump. But I don't know where to fill a prescription for a breast pump. I have two insurances. Blue cross and blue shield, and United Health Care. I know United Heath Care pays for one 100%. But my OBGYN has a boutique that sells them but they said they can't fill the prescription. Has anyone else gone through this and know what to do? I'm lost.
Ladies I called my insurance about breast pump and they said with their insurance in order to get a pump I get a prescription from doctor then I call 3 different numbers to see what my insurance covers but the only thing is I have to wait til baby is born to call and get pump so I want to at least buy a hand pump which do you ladies recommend for hand pump and when I can get a pump from insurance please n thank you 💖💖
Quick question to breast feeding mum i would like to breast feed my baby when she comes as I’ve never really breast fed my other 2, is it uncomfortable also how is pumping out milk????? For bottle feeds is the pump uncomfortable... I would normally just breast feed and not pump when home but I do drive so when I’m out and can’t stop I’ll have to use a bottle...I remember trying to breast feed my youngest and I keeped getting milk ducts why was that??? I think that’s why I gave up as I was scared...
Ok. I finished pumping maybe 1.5 hours ago and wanted to get in the shower anyways. Thank you so much for the advice! @tayek
