Hi, does anyone have any advice for shifting a blocked duct? I've had it since waking up Sunday morning and don't know what else to do.
So far I have tried:
- expressing (but I get very little out)
- hot compresses
- hot showers / baths with Epsom salts
- ibuprofen
- massage with hand and massage brush
- feeding in all sorts of positions (Including on all fours dangling boob and lying down with baby lying opposite direction! )
- cabbage leaves
I'm terrified it will develop into mastitis and just don't know what to do next. My DD is 11 weeks and I've not had any problems this side before. I've had a blister and blockage the other side a few weeks ago but that cleared using the above and a needle to pop the blister.
Do I go to the doctor? Not sure if there's anything they can do?
Thank you x
