qns as above...
i had blocked ducts few days ago and i can't clear it thru pump and louis cried when he can't get the milk out and then refuse to suckle even the other breast. Went to see doc to bring down the inflammation and was advice to "torture" my breast and use hand expression and squeeeeeeze the milk out. I did and finally cleared the blocked ducts. Phew~
But to my horror.. i noticed I am only able to express ard 20ml whereas I used to be able to express ard 80-100ml for that breast. My supply is already very low... now with 1 of the breast "on strike"... even worse.
Why?
