I'm an EP-er and have had a hard time with recurrent clogged ducts. Usually I can get them out with heat and massage but I have a massive clog way up on one of my boobs that I can't get rid of! I've done multiple types of heat (booby tubes, wet/microwaved breast pad, not shower) and massage and two different pumps but it is still there (24 hours later). It hurts, is impacting my output and I'm so worried about mastitis!! Any other suggestions ??

Also any suggestions for how to prevent going forward? I did not have this problem with my first LO (although I had supply issues so wasn't much milk to begin with then) and it is really starting to wear on me. I can't help but wonder if all this is worth it, especially when I will be going back to work in a few weeks...
