Clogged ducts often means you can’t clear the milk well, even after pumping or latching, there will be hard lumps. And if this turns to mastitis, you’ll want to get rid of your boobs.
- Try to avoid too sweet/spicy foods that can thicken your milk, take sunflower lecithin to thin out your milk or have massages.
Engorgement is you can feel your milk filling up and leaking, sometimes on fire too like there’s two hard rocks in it.
- Don’t drag pumps especially if you’re over supplied. If you’re latching and it still doesn’t feel empty, light or soft enough, hand express or pump it out.
