Ducts carry the milk from deep in
the breast to the nipple openings. Sometimes these ducts can become blocked. Milk
builds up behind the blockage, a lump forms and your breast begins to feel
sore.
How can I prevent blocked ducts? Feed
your baby often.
How can I relieve a
blocked duct?
1.
Apply warmth to the affected breast
area before a feed.
2.
Feed from the affected breast first,
when baby is sucking vigorously.
3.
Change feeding positions to help
empty the breast (having baby lower than the blockage can help).
4.
Hand express if needed, before and
after feeds.
