Clogged milk ducts

Big J

What am I doing wrong?? This is the 2nd clogged duct in 4 days! I EP and pump about 6-7 times a day. I can usually get rid of them in a day or so but they're so painful!! Can I be pumping too much? Too little? Can the wrong bra be the problem?

I way you sleep could make a difference i.e. if you sleep on tummy which put pressure on your breasts) or if you carry a bag and the strap causes a lot of pressure on the breast

I'll get them in clusters... 2 or 3 in a week and then nothing for the next week plus. Hurts like hell. I've tried several different bras/camis. I can't find a link between a specific bra/top and a clogged duct.

how do you know for sure they are clogged? I know that might be a dumb question but I am never sure...I do know I am not getting out as much as I used to

if you aren't sure, they probably aren't clogged. I get large painful lumps, that's how I know.
