Hi all, I am BF my six and a half month old and have a blocked milk duct. The lump is huge ? about the size of my palm ? and is rock hard and painful. I?ve had blockages before but the affected area was much smaller and was usually fixed in a day. I?m two days into this one and have been doing all the things you?re supposed to e.g. massaging towards the nipple, combing it, using hot flannels, feeding as normal etc.. Is there anything else I can be doing to shift it? I?m wondering if it?s connected to me starting weaning 3 weeks ago. I don?t feel unwell so don?t think it?s mastisis. Also, I?ve heard that expressing can be counterproductive as it can increase supply and thereby make the blockage worse. How should I be massaging it? Do I need to be quite rough and ?lift? the lump up and around? Any graphic advice would be much appreciated? I can?t help thinking that the lump is something more sinister as it is sooo much bigger than any blockages I?ve had before. Has anyone gone to their GP/health visitor about this issue and what did they advise?
