Clogged up

I was going to put a disclaimer saying:  If you are too embarassed to read about breasts stop reading now.  But what guy doesn’t want to talk about breasts?  :)   Well, actually this post is about clogged milk ducts.  On friday I had two hard lumps in my left breast!  At first it was just a little sore but then it really started to hurt.  I had heard about clogged milk ducts before but had never experienced it until now.  I looked online and I had all the same symptoms.  The remedy is to nurse to get the milk out (a heat pack and massage is supposed to help too).  So I nursed when I got home but it didn’t help.  Then at night I used a heat compress and pumped twice but still hard as a rock!  I could barely sleep because it was so uncomfortable.  In the morning, Katie had her 5:30am feeding and FINALLY!  Relief!  I hope I don’t this doesn’t happen again.  See how much women have to go through??
