Just wanted to share something with you, and maybe it'll help someone someday! My ob told me how to unclog a clogged milk duct, and I have now had three clogged ducts and her method has worked every time, so now I'm a believer! She said to have baby nurse so her lower jaw is in line with the clog, so if the clog is on the top of the breast, you should lie flat and put baby over your shoulder and have her nurse upside down. I hope that makes sense. Sometimes it takes a couple nursing sessions but this has worked for me every time! This morning I noticed a clogged duct and it was starting to get sore but I got rid of it before noon. Heat and massage are good too, but please give this a try and let me know if it works for you!

I did the "upside down" BF once with my LO on the bed and I was above her...and after I was done feeding her from the clogged boob I sat up and realized that my OTHER boob was leaking all over the place and my whole bed was soaked!! It was such a weird position that I needed to be in for her to work out the clog I didn't even think about my other boob....it was funny - remember to wear a bra if you do this!
