Breastfeeding can be tough—but you’re not alone!
Blocked ducts, sore nipples, and mastitis are common struggles—but many can be prevented with early care. During busy seasons (yes, we see you, Christmas! ????), missed or rushed feeds, pressure on the breasts, or too much handling can make things worse—so watch for lumps, bumps, or pain.
✅ Quick tips to avoid blocked ducts & mastitis:
-
Feed on demand and try to empty both breasts.
-
Watch your baby’s latch & positioning.
-
Avoid unnecessary pressure—tight clothes, seatbelts, or heavy bags.
-
Be careful with pumping or massaging too hard.
-
Check for tongue tie or other feeding issues with your baby.
Tip: Early help works wonders! Ultrasound therapy can relieve pain and prevent full-blown mastitis.
Remember: breastfeeding does take a village—reach out if you need support. You’ve got this mama!
