HI Megan,
Did anyone try to use ultrasound on this mother's plug ducts?  I have not
seen this used but have read about it being very helpful.
I have also found that women who have tendencies toward lumpy breast have
more plugged ducts.  This is just an observation that I have seen a few mothers.
When palpating the lumps if they feel round instead of a more finger like
feeling I had the mothers just leave them alone.  If the mothers did too much
manipulation then that quadrant of the breast would become firmer.
I would be curious is others have observed this.
