A friend of mine has a clogged duct and can’t get it out. She’s tried hand expressing, pumping, hot showers, warm compresses, her husband even tried getting it out. She exclusively pumps so she’s tried that and it didn’t help either. Any tips that she’s not thought of? She’s miserable!
Have her massage her breast on all fours. Like stand like a dog and massage it. She can even pump on all four and it will help.
@humblewarriormama, I told her to try one of the little hand held back massagers that vibrates and hopefully it’ll have the same effect!
Take an anti-inflammatory like Advil or Motrin then pump after a hot shower while massaging. Her duct might be swollen from the irritation and may need that to be relieved first.
