DS is 8.5 months. I am returning to work next week, so have gradually replaced his daytime feeds with formula. I am now breastfeeding just twice a day (before breakfast and before bedtime) and have been for several weeks (since about Easter). However, I keep getting blockages (the breast tissue goes really hardy and lumpy, it's tender to touch and feeding gets really painful, but there is no white spot on the nipple). It first happened on the left side a fortnight ago and my doctor prescribed antibiotics. Now, it's the right side, I've got a mild infection and am back on the antibiotics again. The first doctor told me not to express as we don't want to encourage more supply, but this doctor told me to express to clear the blockage. Am confused as to what I should be doing both to temporarily clear the blockage and also longer term to stop it happening again. I'd ideally like to keep up the morning/evening feeds for another couple of months, but can't face carrying on if I keep getting infections. I have read things about lecithin and sage tea to help with blockages/reducing supply. Has anyone tried them? Any advice would be gratefully appreciated thanks!
