Hello! I'm nursing my second child and am currently experiencing my second very painful plugged duct. It's the same spot and Breast each time. I'm in a lot of pain and don't understand or can't figure out why this keeps happening. I never had one with my son and I nursed him over one year and ive already had one with my daughter and she's only 3 months. I'm wearing only nursing tanks or bras and she's a great feeder. I'm wondering if it's my night routine-I drink my nursing tea at night for her gassiness relief and some nights she sleeps 5-7 hits from her last feed and then when she gets up seems to nibble but I try to make sure both sides are as empty as can be. The other thing I've done diff with her vs my son is I hold her differently and nurse her lying down which I never did with my son. Is it common to get them in the same spots over and over? Im using heat,massage and pumping/nursing frequently but still no luck. It looks like I have a whitehead on my nipple but it won't "pop" so to speak. The last time it did and it was instant relief. I've read to take lecithin -has anyone had luck with that? I'll take any suggestions,advice anything. I'm in soo much discomfort and am scared of mastitis. Will it go away on its own with what im doing? I'm so worried. What can I do to prevent it? Thx![]()
