weaning + Clogged milk duct question

We just weaned from Bfing early this week. I stopped pumping a couple of weeks ago and he was nursing in the morning only and we stopped early this week (Tuesday). I now have what feels like a clogged duct on one side. This side had issues with clogged duct on and off, and now it feels like the same duct is clogged. It has the lump and painful to touch.  Do I pump in the hopes that it relieves the clog? but then that would work against my attempts to dry it up?  just massage and hand express in the hopes it will relieve the clog?
Thanks ladies...

Re: weaning + Clogged milk duct question

  • Thank you ladies. I ended up using a hot compress and massaging the area (ouch! ) then hand expressing some. It relieved 75 % of the pain and I feel so much better! Thank you!!!
