1. Saline solution
To remove the blockage, soak the nipples in a solution of salt and warm water. Mix 2 teaspoons of salts in a cup of hot water and allow to cool slightly. Finally, soak the nipple three or four times daily until the duct becomes unblocked.
2. Nipple massage
Gently massage the nipple to release the blister. Also, try applying pressure behind the nipple.
This treatment works best when carried out after a bath, shower, or saline soak, as the skin will be very soft. Do not apply so much pressure to the nipple that it causes pain.
3. Warm compress
Use a warm compress on the nipple before breast-feeding. To make a compress, soak a cloth in warm water and wring out any excess liquid. Then, apply the compress to the nipple for up to 15 minutes. Gently pat the skin dry before nursing.
4. Olive oil
Keep the nipple soft and moist throughout the day with olive oil. Place an oil-soaked cotton pad inside the bra so that it covers the nipple.
Gently wipe off the nipple before nursing. Change the cotton pad twice daily.
