As a mother who also has this issue, beyond words can explain; I tell my
mothers to express til comfortable as the point to blocked feedings is to
increase the amount of fat feedings by staying on one breast and cutting supply.
This will take a couple days usually and then mom is better. I have seen in some
mothers (to include myself) that when I go back to each breast at every
other feed my supply and let down jumps right back up. I had to 12 hour blocks
for a week or two and still on occasion have to pump off or hand express
usually (I prefer this method for my moms as you can track your fullness better).
Hope this helps!
