I am a nursing mother of a 8 month old girl and contacting you for help. I have been getting repeated blocked ducts for past two months. I tried all sorts of remedies (like massage, hot compresses, lecithin) and even tried ultrasound therapy, which clears the block but I tend to get them back in a few days. It is affecting only my left breast. Now I don't want to suffer anymore and want to wean. Is there any easy way to wean without getting any block ducts? I have started taking sage tea to reduce my milk supply and also on sudafed. Do you have any other suggestions to reduce milk supply? Should I start on oral contraceptives (ortho tri clyclen)? Will it dry up my milk? Will it be safe to nurse if I start on birth control pills? Please advise. I want to wean as soon as possible. I can't go through breastfeeding with such pain on and off. Help me wean!!!
