Hi Everyone
Has anyone had any experience with a Montgomery gland being the underlying 
issue for recurrent blocked ducts/mastitis?
I'm seeing a mum tomorrow with what I suspect to be this problem. She is 
feeding her fourth baby (9 mths) & had similar problems with the third but not 
the first two babies, who were twins.
The blocked ducts always occur in the same area of the left breast & so far 
the only effective treatment has been ultra-sound.
She is under pressure from family & friends to wean but does not want to. If 
my suspicions prove to be true my first instinct would be to suggest that she 
gradually wean completely from the affected breast and continue feeding with 
the other. Any comments/suggestions would be appreciated.
Cheers, Julieanne
