Cold cabbage will reduce milk supply if you over doing it too many time. You can try. Massage and hot compress. Pump for 20 min, rest massage and hot compress again. Pump for 10 min. Massage and hot compress again. Pump for 10 min, use cold compress to relief like a cold cloth. (hand express tgt with pumping will helps too.) Continue this for 2 to 3 hourly. It will get better after 3 4 sets.
Pump regularly! Perhaps 2-3 hourly. Dont skip pumping sessions and try not to go longer than 3 hours of not pumping. Else it will be engorged and i know the feeling so painful! Cold cabbage and cold compress only gv temporary relief.
Drink loads of water! 100plus or H-Two-O works for me too. I find that usually when I have engorged breast or clogged ducts is because I’ve been having too much “GOOD” food already HAHAHAHA!
Cold cabbage can reduce your milk supply so don't overdo it! You can use cold or hot compress, massage in circular motion. If the lumps become red and if you feel feverish then see a doctor.
Visit LC, they will help u to squeeze out all the block ducts!! It's super pain but super effective, and continue to pump every 3 hour to avoid engorgement!
Comb your breast downwards in the warm shower with the old Chinese comb brush (the brown one to remove head lice)
I had attended a TCM talk several years ago and understood massage able to help. You may want to consider.
