Breastfeeding/Pumping during & ending - clogged milk ducts? ?

Question

I have been pumping breast milk for 10 mos. Two times before a breast has gotten sore & lumpy. I applied hot packs & pumped more to unclog milk ducts, & it worked. This time the the same thing happened w/ one of my breast, the soreness has gone away, but the breast is still very lumpy. It seems like it may be getting more lumpy, but not sore. What is going on? I know when you stop breast feeding, your breast get hard & lumpy & sore. But I have not stopped, I have slowed down a little, like took out 1 feeding/day, but nothing to dry me up. How do I make the lumps go away? My other breast is perfectly normal. I've also tried hot baths.

Answer 1

I didn't know b***s could get clogged.

How about you massage your b***s. Have ur husband/bf rub ur b***s.

If all else fails, see a dr.

Answer 2

Does it look like a small curd cottage cheese? I had a milk duct clog, and when my doctor told me to pump that is what came out. I also did the hot/ warm towel over my b*****s to get it to not hurt so bad. I would say if it still has not gone away you need to ask your doctor.

Good luck!
