A clogged milk duct? !@#$&*!
Well, its beautiful outside and I'm stuck inside right now. ::Insert biggest frown imaginable!:: What can I do with a hungry baby who won't drink from a bottle, won't even consider eating anything solid until dinner time, and can't nurse because I have a clogged milk duct on my right breast? I'm stuck inside relying on hot compresses to get me through. I've tried offering to nurse her, but she gets frustrated too quickly and just gets mad. I've never had this happen before. What do I do? Any quick fixes?!!

I had a clogged duct about 2 months ago...not fun! Hot compresses are definitely helpful, so you're doing the right thing! Everything I read & everyone I talked to about it said to nurse, nurse, nurse as often as possible..but if Miss Cheyanne gets too frustrated, maybe your mantra should be pump, pump, pump! Hang in there, Mama!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah! After 27 hours, it finally broke. I did everything under the sun and it finally worked. Those were some seriously painful 27 hours. Thanks for the support :)
