Hello all,
Well, my little one is 6.5 months old and still bf. I have gone back to work 4 days a week and express once at work. However, I keep getting a recurring blocked duct on one side only. It's in my tiny boob, as well - it seems so unfair! The boob is not overly full and is still soft. They did get very full on Monday, but I pumped and baby fed when I got home and it has developed again over the last 24 hours. it is very painful, with no obvious white blockage at tip. I can feel a round smooth lump about half a cm back from nipple. I have had hot bath/massaged/drunk water as I think I may be dehydrated (am a teacher, so talk a lot!).
Anyone any tips on how to avoid them or had problems like this before? I suppose I am slightly concerned because I will be reducing the number of feds soon, and am worried this will keep happening for the next year until I stop!
Thanks in advance.
