clogged duct ?s

smb29

Earlier this week I woke up around 4:30am and about 3/4s of one boob felt like it was clogged (I've had one spot clogged, but never anything like this).  I got up and pumped and then fed the baby on the same side a little bit later, then pumped as normal the rest of the day.  It was sore for a day but no more clogging.  I just pumped this morning, and I have a clogged duct on the other side (did not notice it this morning when I fed M).  Normally one pumping or feeding solves the problem, but it still feels like its clogged.  So...

1. Is there anything I can be doing (at work) to help with the one that still feels clogged besides pumping; and

2. Is there anything that I might be doing that causes this?  It just seems weird to me that it happened on both sides in the same week, especially with how bad the one side was earlier this week.

take lots of lecithin and put a heating pad on it. the only that ever really works for me is to nurse ruby all night long, like i sleep with my boob in her mouth in the rocking chair. it sucks. 

i found that every single freaking time i try to wear a bra with wire now i get a clogged duct. mother f-er. i feel your pain.

I'm curious, with underwire, where it usually bothers duct (inner, outer, bottom)? I haven't had that issue but want to avoid it by massaging and am curious where I should focus. The underwire only seems to really touch breast tissue between...
