How do you know if it’s mastitis or a clogged duct?? It goes away when he nurses but then the full feeling & can feel the full duct shortly after
Has anyone ever had a clogged milk duct, how does it feel?
Second time mommies Does you whole abdomen feel full and kinda squished? I feel so off and I woke up this morning and my back hurt so I couldn't fall back asleep. Any one else feel "full"?
Plugged/blocked ducts are so painful )),: @bellahali I know you feel my pain right now!
Clogged duct? For those who have experienced this, how did you know if you had one? My boob is not full at all, but the side of it feel so sore, it hurts to touch.
My supply be full in the morning but as the day goes by it don't seem lik im getting much... feels lik im doing something wrong 😢

@walkers-mom, if you can hand express go for it. I know when I’m massaging a clogged duct it starts leaking so I just hold a bottle & let it leak into it lol

@walkers-mom, I know at first I was so happy bc I was pumping up to 10oz but then I was like uhh I’m making way too much milk! So I started drinking peppermint tea & pumping for 8min now instead of 15-20min (or pumping for comfort instead of completely emptying breast)

@asandovaln, he just ate off of it and it didn’t release .. would it be bad to try to pump it out? 😩😩😩 he didn’t even eat off of my other side i just used the suction thing and it’s completely squishy and my other one is rock hard

@walkers-mom, that’s what I started doing and ended up with mastitis bc baby girl wasn’t completely emptying out my breast😣 It’s probably just a clogged duct massaging & warm compress should help! If it hurts just to even touch keep an eye out for flu like symptoms & head to the ER right away I waited too long & ended up getting hospitalized for 3 days😞

If you have flu like symptoms & your breast is engorged & has red spots it’s mastitis!

@denisse.m, i haven’t looked at them but i will when i get home. And there both hot but I’m on day 4 of him latching so i guess it’s normal because my supply is regulating

Your breast would be red and hot if it is. With the clogged duct you will still feel it for a day or two at least that’s how it is for me.
