1.Continue breastfeeding. The idea is to continue draining the breast frequently.
2.Start feeds with the affected breast to ensure it gets the most attention. Babies tend to suck the hardest on the first breast they’re offered (because they’re hungrier).
3.Consider soaking your breast in a bowl of warm water and then massaging the clog.
4.Try changing the positions you use to breastfeed. Sometimes moving around allows your baby’s suction during feeding to better reach the clog.
5.One of the most effective treatments is massage, particularly while you’re feeding . To massage, start at the outside of the breast and apply pressure with your fingers as you move toward the plug. It may also help to massage while you’re in the shower or bath.
Next Steps
For pain you can take tab paracetamol 650 mg
Health Tips
For prevention.
massaging your breast during feeding/pumping sessions to promote drainage
skipping tight clothes or bras to give your breasts some room to breathe (loungewear is the best, anyway!)
loosening tight baby carrier straps (same idea, but obviously make sure baby is safe)
varying breastfeeding positions from time to time to ensure suction is hitting all ducts
applying a warm/moist compress before feeding to areas of the breast that tend to clog
applying a cool compress to breasts after feeding sessions
asking your doctor about lecithin supplements (some women say they help with recurring issues
