Pumping !!

Okay ladies I have a question , So I pump do any of you guys have an issue with one breast begin more sore or hard than the other ?! I literally have to massage my breast as I’m pumping to rub out what feels like lumps . And my nipple on that breast hurts so bad when I start to pump .

It sounds a lot like you have a clogged milk duct, unless you are feverish or experiencing a lot of redness

@Faith no fever or redness just the lumps and tenderness. Any suggestions on how to remove the clogged milk duct ? This is my first baby so I’m not to sure

I’ve heard of people having their partner clear it but that’s not in my wheel house of comfortability haha so I used a warm compress, lactation massager and just trying to massage it before pumping. Cheaper alternative to a lactation is an electric tooth brush.

Warm compress will help release it and a cold compress will reduce swelling. You can use both in cycles

@Faith oh yeah no thank you lol ! Okay I will try those out, thank you ☺️ 😭😩 because wow it’s super uncomfortable
