Clogged ducts and dropping supply

Hey!
I am currently exclusively pumping for my baby. I have become a little more susceptible to clogs the last few weeks. Doing all the recommended advice.
-massage

  • compressions
  • hand expressing
  • breast compressions
-pumping so vigorously my nipple is about to fall off!

The only prolem is all of these methods also increase supply?! As such in the last 2 weeks alone I've gone from producing just enough to put 1 x bag In the freezer each day to producing almost double the amount he consumes! I have no idea how to reduce supply and stop the clogs?!?

Any ideas will be much appreciated?

Thank you! X

Are you taking sunflower lecithin? That helps emulsify the milk which helps reduces clogs/blockages.

Yes. I think its definitely helped.
I've also ditched the bra the last few days, fingers crossed it helps. Ive been taping my breast pads on! 😂
