Dear Libby,

How unfortunate you can't find a dr. to help your moms. That stinks!  What
about a sympathetic, pro-breastfeeding pediatrician?  I've had two of these
myself, and they were far more painful than thrush, sore nipples, plugged
ducts, etc..  I tell mothers, "see your  HCP to open this, or some moms do
it themselves with a sterile needle."  Then it's up to them.  I can only say
experientially that nursing, rubbing, etc. would not have opened mine.  I
lanced them myself and experienced immediate relief (as well as milk
literally squirting out the opened duct)!

Warmly,
Anna Swisher, MBA, IBCLC
