Clogged duct... in my armpit?

laxjules

I have a huge lump in my armpit so I called the OB to ask about it and they told me it was a clogged milk duct! I have NEVER heard of that happening. It hurts like none other. It shrinks a little when he nurses on that side and in the shower but as soon as he's done it's huge again.

This happen to anyone else? What did you do to make it go away?

Try messaging it out while your LO is nursing or when you are pumping. Also, put a warm compress on it just before feeding/pumping. Pick up some Lecithin, that will help as well.

stop wearing a bra or any tight fitting clothes near that area, nurse your baby while you are above him, (like a cow!) and aim to empty that breast as often as possible, but don't neglect the other side!
