Hi ladies! I have an inflamed duct, and I’ve read a few articles with mixed advice. Some suggest feeding the baby first from the sore breast, then the other; others say to start with the unaffected side and switch to the sore one to ease demand and help it calm down. What do you all think?

I'm not proud of myself, but I had bad food habits before being pregnant so I've really struggled to get into good habits since having my LG. How much does a bad diet affect breast milk?
