How to Clear Clogged Milk Ducts! | Breastfeeding 101

Hey y'all welcome back to my channel! In this video I share all my tips on how to clear Clogged milk ducts and prevent them from returning! Clogs are very painful and can lead to mastitis if they aren't cleared that's why it is so important to get them cleared as quickly as possible!

It is very important to treat a clog as soon as possible! The very first thing to do is take 4800 mg of lecithin (consult your doctor first). This will thin the fat in your milk and make it easier to pass through the ducts.

The next thing is to nurse/pump as much as possible! Baby is best at clearing them but if you're exclusively pumping that will work too!

Then use heat, vibration, and hand expressing to help break the clog up.

Using these steps I can have a clog busted in just a few hours when it use to take DAYS. As a new mom breastfeeding can already be a struggle, so you definitely don't want to be in pain. I hope these tips can help you like they have me!

Thanks for watching! Leave me a comment and let me know if you use any of these tips!
