Clogged Duct????

For the past 2 months I’ve stopped pumping and just latching when I’m with my LO. Therefore I haven’t been pumping or feeding at all after 7:30PM until about 6:30 AM. Well this morning I woke up to a very full abd painful breast. I pumped to empty it out and now it just feels really sore to the touch. Would I have a clogged duct or just random sorness from it being so full? I don’t feel any bumps for anything when it’s empty 🤷‍♀️

Ice and ibuprofen will help if so. A clog is really an inflamed milk duct. I also go about 10 hours without pumping/nursing so I feel ya! My right breast gets sore a lot.

Get a haaka or something similar. If you're still awake a few hours after you've put baby down, do some hand expressing into the haaka, then pour that into a bottle, bottles, or a bag
