Continual Blocked Ducts

[Razzberry]

ouch - I feel your pain! I got mastitis 5 times in a matter of 2 months and was in agony. In the end I did wean but my DD was 6.5 months and there were many other issues too. I know how upsetting it is when you want to feed your baby but you are just in sooo much pain.

I found cabbage leaves worked well too - I resisted but once I did it was such relief - I literally cooked them on my BB's. Cause I was so hot the green leaves wilted and turned white very quickly. It didnt make the blockages go away but did provide relief between feeding. I also tried every different hold whilst feeding too and one night in desperation I sat on the pump for 2 hours and pressed on the blocked ducks and put hot and cold packs on me whilst I was reading bellybelly! For an hour nothing happened and then suddenly RELIEF!!! I had milk pouring out and this continued for about 45 minutes

Goodluck with the physio, I had heard bout it too but didnt know where to go. My GP said I would need surgical drainage or be on IV antibiotics in hosp if my last lot of antibiotics didnt help.
