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!
20 days to my due date and yesterday I was 1 cm dilated. I’m so ready to be a mama to my baby. But she’s so not wanting to come out. Anyone have tips, to get my baby out?
Breast pump covered by insurance I've already done what I needed to find out what type of pump I get covered through insurance. It turns out, with my insurance, I can't even get my pump shipped to me until I call them with all the birth details of my baby. So...wth am I supposed to do having a baby and no pump?! I plan to pump exclusively and this REALLY throws a wrench in my plans.
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 💖💖
Tried pumping this evening and didn’t even get an oz 😩😭
Bottles / breastfeeding For those of you that breastfeed and pump/bottle feed what kind of bottles do you use? I breastfeed and only use the pumped milk when I go out or if my boyfriend feeds him at night. So he basically gets one bottle a day but the bottles come out way to fast for him and get all over him, I've tried dr browns and the Medela bottles but neither are slow enough. I feel like he's gonna choke. Help.

My friend uses a vibrator designed for breastfeeding/pumping and it helps break up clogs. I’ve heard you can use an electric toothbrush as well.

I’ve heard dangle feeding helps

@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.
