Engorged or plugged duct?

StayingFocused

So I skipped a pump session last night since I had plenty pumped for feedings and bc I relished the idea of an extra 20 minutes sleep!  Woke up this morning in to one side being really engorged and sore, only to  get 1oz when I pumped.  Throughout he day I've been massaging and have taken two hot showers for heat and massage as well.  The last two pumps I've gotten a lot more out and it's not quite as hard lumpy and sore.  I'm assuming since its only the one side I have/had a plug...?    Heading I to the night again and I didn't want to have to pump at every feeding but maybe if I pump just a few minutes to get some relief but not empty it all the way?

I had the same problem today.  I fed Cole and then pumped 5 minutes and was fine the rest of the day.

I think it might have been plugged on top of more supple coming in bc I went from getting a total of around 3 oz when I pump to getting 5oz the last couple pumps.  I guess I'll be starting my stash early!
