We use castor oil packs: warm, moist washcloth folded to appropriate
size...a "glug" of castor oil on that...lay over area...put plastic wrap
over that and a heating pad on "low" over that, and let sit 20-30 minutes
before nursing or pumping, with massage if possible during milk removal.
It seems that a mom with a "stubborn" plug that has not respoded to heat and
massage alone will respond to this. Don't know why.
