Clogged Ducts

A clogged milk duct occurs when there is a blockage in one of the milk ducts, resulting in a small, tender lump on the breast. It can be caused by factors such as changes in feeding patterns, inadequate breast drainage, or tight clothing. Continuing to breastfeed is essential to help clear the duct. Additionally, changing feeding positions, applying warm compresses, and gentle massage can aid in relieving the blockage.
