Tips for breast pain/blocked milk duct

Warm hot water bottle on it should help x

Have you massaged whilst in a hot shower?

A really hot compress as hot as you can handle and then feeding. I ended up having to pump when I had one as unfortunately my little one wasn’t getting rid of it x

@Laura thank you! Going to try this now x

@Shannon yes did this about an hour ago. Loads of milk out but not much pain relieved! x

@Michaela thank you. Going to give it a go x x

I had this that wouldn't go and got diagnosed with mastitis and had to take antibiotics. Not to scare you, but just to not let it get so bad that you're in constant pain!🥰

@Millie thank you. Had mastitis twice with my firstborn but it was a big lump/red/hot with fever and chills so didn’t think it was. Definitely going to get checked out xx

I’ve had this recently and my health visitor recommended a cold compress while lying flat, not hot - I had pain and redness in patches for a few days and it has now gone away! She also suggested putting cabbage leaves on them but I never got that far, could be worth a try! 🤷🏼‍♀️😂 x
