I have a blocked milk duct :( My entire right boob is rock hard, and getting more painful as the day goes on- when I got this morning, it was just hard on top, now it's the whole thing, and even walking too quickly is sore!
I've had a warm bath, and tried to express some milk while I was in there (no joy though). Also been regularly putting DS to this breast- he's sucking away, but I can't hear him swallowing much, and I usually can while he feeds. Tried to massage it while he was feeding too, but that was incredibly painful!
Does anyone have any other tips for easing the pain? And can the doctor do anything for me at the minute, or does it need to actually be mastitis before they can help?
