Hi all. I've been breastfeeding DS for 7.5 months with reasonable ease, but for the last 2 months or so have been plagued by continual blocked ducts in my right breast. The problem is getting worse and I'm starting to despair that it might be the end of bf as I'm so exhausted and stressed by continually having to unblock my breast. I occasionally get small plugs in my left breast, but they are nothing like the whoppers in my right. DS's latch is pretty good, checked by a lactation consultant, but my right breast has been problematic from the get go. (DH calls it my 'dodgy boob'). I've tried lecithin supplements etc but they don't seem to help.
I had an idea it might be exacerbated by carrying DS in his Ergo? Because my breast is sore at the moment, I was conscious yesterday that he was pressing against it all the time in the carrier. Has anyone else had this? I love carrying DS, but would much rather continue to breastfeed if a choice were to be made.
Thank you for any advice.
