Clogged milk ducts HURT and caused me a lot of anxiety at the start of my breastfeeding journey. Not only was I on constant call to feed my little one, sleep deprived, and hangry, I now found myself having to deal with a hot and painful boob.
When looking up solutions to the problem, it seemed like the research and people were all over the place - “Put heat on the clog.” // “DON’T put heat on the clog.”
I was overwhelmed and still in pain.
After much research, trial and error, consulting my Midwife and naturopathic doctor, I have come up with a list of NATURAL products I wish I was recommended even before my first clog happened.
(Side note - contrary to popular belief clogged milk ducts are not actually a clog. It’s inflammation and most of the recommendations out their don’t treat inflammation, making the “clog” worse. Depending on the severity of the clog, these products could take a few hours to days to clear it up.
Also, it’s important to note that, your baby is fantastic at sucking out clogs.)
