Nipple probs

Thrush on one side, clogged duct on the other, and lyme disease all over. FML.

I know everyone was saying pump a lot when you have a clogged duct, but I am only pumping when it is absolutely necessary. Is there anything else I can do? Is it warm or cold compress? I thought this was a newborn type problem. I guess this is what I get for being lucky and not having an bfing related problems until now.

    I'm sorry! That sounds like an awful combination!

    For warm a compress, I like to use a diaper filled with hot water. It lasts a lot longer than anything else! Pump or nurse right after.

    That sounds interesting. I will try that when DD wakes up.

    When I was EPing, I got clogged ducts a few times. I tried pumping it out, warm compresses, standing in a hot shower, and gebtly massaging the area before pumping.

    Dangle pump/feed. Clears clogged ducts in no time.

    That sounds horrible.  :(  For thrush try this site with lots of stuff you can do to help it!  He's the #1 expert on it. https://www.breastfeedinginc.ca/content.php?pagename=doc-CP 

    For the clogged duct, try lecithin.  It helps move the clog along and also prevents if taken daily.  My friend, who got mastitis swore by it.  For now try a hot shower and when your bewb is soapy massage it then pump afterwards. 

    Bewb probz suck.
