Large clog please help

74dragonfly

I recently went back to work. I now only bf on weekends, motn, bedtime. Saturday I bf several times. Sunday I awoke with a huge clog. I tried to pump, hot compress, nursing but it is still there. I am at work and cant pump. What should I do? Id like to keep night time bf going but I don't want to pump. Ds is almost 13 months and drinks wcm.

Take Advil for the inflammation, if you have it, and try to drink lots of liquids. Taking a lecithin supplement 4x a day is helpful for some people (supposedly helps break up the clog). try to nurse as much as you can while you're home and continue with hot baths or compresses. if you have an electric toothbrush or vibrator, the vibration can help break up the clog if you apply it to your breast. GL! call your doctor if you see red streaks on your breast or develop a fever/chills, as this means the clog is turning into mastitis.

How old is your LO is there a reason you aren't BF as much when you aren't home? That could def be the cause. I nurse DD in the morning before I leave, and all evening and night.
