clogged duct. no milk

I've done warm compress and massage. Not helping. I am at work so I can't nurse all day. And pumping is not helping just making my nipple more swollen. This is miserable. Any other things I can try to help my milk to flow???

It's in the link I posted for you yesterday.

I'll copy and paste some of it. You might want to take a glimpse at it as there is lots of good info.

Before nursing

Use heat & gentle massage before nursing- Warm compress. Try using a disposable diaper: fill the diaper with hot water (try the temperature on your wrist first to avoid burns), squeeze the diaper out a bit, then put the inside of the diaper toward the breast. This will stay warm much longer than a wet cloth.- Basin soak. Fill sink or bowl with hot water and submerge breast in water while massaging the plugged area toward the nipple. Some report better results when epsom salts are added to the water — add a handful of epsom salts per 2 quarts (2 liters) of water. Rinse with fresh water before nursing, as baby may object to the taste.- Hot Shower. It can be helpful to massage in the shower with a large-toothed comb. The comb should be drawn through a bar of soap until it is very soapy and then used to gently massage over the affected area in the direction of the nipple.Loosen bra & any constrictive clothing to aid milk flow.Massage will help to improve milk drainage and improve symptoms. See Breastfeeding Medicine of Northeast Ohio’s video for a demonstration of the basics of therapeutic breast massage.

While nursing

Nurse on the affected breast first; if it hurts too much to do this, switch to the affected breast directly after let-down.Ensure good positioning & latch. Use whatever positioning is most comfortable and/or allows the plugged area to be massaged.Note: Advice to point baby’s chin (or nose) toward the plugged area is not necessarily going to be helpful as it is based on the idea that the milk ducts take a nice, direct route to the nipple – recent research tells us that this is not true, and that a particular duct might begin in one area of the breast but can “wander” in many different directions before terminating in any area of the nipple.Use breast compressionsMassage gently but firmly from the plugged area toward the nipple.Try nursing while leaning over baby (sometimes called “dangle feeding“) so that gravity aids in dislodging the plug.

After nursing

Pump or hand express after nursing to aid milk drainage and speed healing.Use cold compresses between feedings for pain & inflammation.

I had one last weekend and I used an electric toothbrush to massage it. The battery was low on it, so we have a hand massager that heats up and it was perfect trick! I submerged in the hot bath with Epsom salt, massaged, nursed a ton always starting on that side. I pump just once, my lo seemed to have a better suck than the pump. It was cleared in 24 hours or so.

It's bleeding? Is that normal?

I got one side flowing! The painful bleeding one isn't yet. But I did get a couple drops with the pump
