Feels kind of weird to be pressing on it but when you work it out, the sensation is so sweet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clogged-duct#post-735337 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 18:25:22 +0000 shopaholic 735337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: that's where I had one too. The nurse even called it when I phoned them. I guess by the armpit is really common. I put a hot water bottle on top of the area for heat and some pressure. Massaged it and let K only BF from that boob for one day. It totally worked after the heat/water bottle trick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clogged-duct#post-735332 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 18:23:28 +0000 oliviaoblivia 735332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dangle your boob in babies mouth. Kellymom recommends laying baby on the bed, then crawling on all fours so your boobs hang in the babies face. Its suppose to help gravity bring the clog out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clogged-duct#post-735327 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 18:20:33 +0000 Smurfette 735327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also, I should add that it is on the very outside, like near my arm pit?</p> <p>@oliviaoblivia: I don't understand, dangle feeding?<br /> Edit: Never mind I googled it! I can't do that, cause she has reflux, so I have to feed her more up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clogged-duct#post-735326 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 18:19:45 +0000 Smurfette 735326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So do I just put the heating pad on it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clogged-duct#post-735317 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 18:15:33 +0000 autumnlove 735317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Heat! I used hot water compresses and massaged the clogged areas in the shower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clogged-duct#post-735314 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 18:14:23 +0000 oliviaoblivia 735314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dangle feeding (exactly what it sounds like), heat, and massage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clogged-duct#post-735309 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 18:12:08 +0000 blackbird 735309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Moist heat. </p> <p>I'm trying to figure out if I have one, too. I've been icing after I pump and using heat before and massage during </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/clogged-duct#post-735305 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 18:09:53 +0000 Smurfette 735305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that I might have a clogged duct. On my one boob, it is feels hard in an area around the size of small almond. It hurts when you touch it. </p> <p>Is this a clogged duct?</p> <p>I have been massaging it. Is there anything else I can do? Besides just letting her feed on that side every time? </p>
