Kathryn, has she tried lecithin?  Doses suggested on kellymom.com are 1 capsule (1200 mg) 3-4 times per day.  After a week or two with no blockage, she can reduce the dosage by one capsule.  This continues until she is free from blockage.  If she drops one dose and blockage returns, she can go back to the previous dose (usually 1-2 capsules per day).  Dr. Newman suggests it works because it helps make the milk less viscous (sticky).  Many moms I have worked with have found this treatment to be very effective.

> Hello,
> A woman who is exclusively pumping has very swollen nipples and multiple milk blebs on both sides. The flange size is correct. Any ideas why she keeps getting clogged nipple pores? She has done epsom salt soaks, manual compression, warm washcloths, olive oil on cotton balls with some success but continues to get them. Thanks all!
