Recurring blocked ducts

[stuckunderhere]

biological hold, that's baby on top of you, right? Might be putting too much pressure on the breasts that way...

Heat before a feed, breast compressions during and cold compress following a feed can help.

Do you use a pump at all? I used to get blockages where the pump didn't empty the entire breast for some reason.

I will have to look up some videos on properly doing the football hold because I did not know how to do this properly LOL!!

Ali I mostly pump to empty the breasts when DD has not drained them well. I do have one pumping session as well in the evening to get milk to top her up the next day. She did have a tongue tie and if I look at the big picture now I think it is still an issue: recurrent blocked ducts, variable milk supply, struggle to gain weight, and she has trouble swallowing from solid foods (she chews and plays with the food in her mouth but mostly spits it back out, even now after 5 weeks, and trying both BLW and purees). I may try to see the tongue tie doctor again and see if she thinks it is Worth it to clip it again

I think we're dealing with tongue and lip ties too... I mean lip is obvious, but I think I see something is up with his tongue too. Boo!

(((hugs))) Sarah. tongue ties are so complicated!

if you need references I have found all the best resources in Montreal for dealing with tongue ties! Got 2 LC's and there is a wonderful Dr at the Lasalle breastfeeding clinic, Dre Choquet, for releasing lip and tongue ties. there is quite a long wait list though, we waited close to a month.
