Clogged ducts - help!

I’m 2 months pp and had the same clog in my right breast from day 1. I got clogged so easily and had to be so vigilant with feeds and icing my boobs to get some relief. Recently I’ve started taking sunflower lecithin and genuinely haven’t had a single clog!! When they were full previously, they wouldn’t feel typically engorged, they would just be all plugged up and be rock hard in loads of areas. Since taking the supplements they just feel
full - not like rocks!! I started with 4x a day, now I do one with breakfast lunch and dinner. By the evening of day 2 of taking them there was already so much relief. You can also (1) wean yourself off them (2) take them for a few days to clear the ducts (3) take then then reduce to 1x a day to keep them coming back - hope this helps because its saved my life and I was seriously debating giving up breastfeeding because it was impossible before!

(Just want to add, it’s had 0 affect on my baby girl, been taking it from 5.5 week until now (8 weeks))

Do you do breast compressions whilst baby is feeding? Have you tried breast massage?
Do you have a breastfeeding support team who you can chat to, we've got one called cherubs here and they're amazing, they'll go through loads of questions and check you're Latch to help work out how to help

I've heard of sunflower lecithin before but never really looked into it. I may have to get some now, thank you!

yes I do compressions and I also do massages too. I don't think we have a breastfeeding support team in the area unfortunately. I'll have to see if I can contact the national team or something

@Beth ahh that's a shame, yeah get in contact with then and see what they can advise you. Best of luck, this breastfeeding isn't as easy as I thought it would be x

Ibuprofen and ice seem to work for me. They are usually better within 48 hours! Also taking sunflower lecithin.
