Note, if breast feeding skeeves you...this is another post you should not read and for Heaven's sake...don't click on the links at work!
Everything I read and the pediatrician said pointed to warm moist massages to get rid of a clogged duct. I was willing to try anything because a clogged duct can lead to mastitis (scary and gross).
I took a couple hot showers and massaged the boobie...then I massaged the boobie while pumping...it was helping but I was getting sore. I tried using a battery operated back massage tool while I was pumping and ended up with a milk shake. So then I tried massaging while I was feeding. Elle did not love the interference in her face region, but that seemed to work the best at getting all the weirdness out. Now I am back to normal. Lesson learned...for me...don't try to wear a "normal" nice bra while I am nursing. Skip the push up under wire and low cut top until Elle has finished with her lunch boxes.
Gross but good information.
