I'm in the process of weaning my 9mo DD2 off the breast, in fact, about 2 weeks ago I thought I'd stopped altogether but in the last couple of days I've had blocked ducts in both breasts. I don't want to go backwards, so to speak, and starting bfing again but I don't know how else to clear the ducts. I'm crap at expressing, although have tried hand expressing a little to see if that will help, but I could only get a few drops (I think there's not much milk left in there tbh). I've taken a bit of ibuprofen and I have fed DD2 once, off one side when it became too tender. Any suggestions? If I leave them will they disappear?? [hopeful emoticon] And could this be because of underwire?? I've been back in underwired bras for about a month now, but both blockages are cleavage side, at the point where the end of the underwire would lie against your skin. Any advice/experience gladly received.
