Hi all, I have a mother of a 4 month old who is experiencing what she called plugged ducts on a monthly basis. The symptoms she describes are more consitent with mastitis except that she never gets a fever with it. The affected breast feels more dense,is fuller than the other breast. She doesn't skip feedings and pumps x2 while at work. There are no plugged nipple pores. Restrictive clothing has also been ruled out. Her own treatment is to put the heating pad on the breast and sleep on it. That has always been successful in resolving the pain and redness. Any other suggestions besides application of heat and feed the baby?
