Mastitis and blocked ducts
Older advice to “heat and aggressively massage” is outdated. Current approaches focus on reducing inflammation, continuing to feed, and getting the right clinical support.
In a consult we look at latch and drainage, feeding patterns, and practical comfort measures aligned with current mastitis protocols.
Recurrent mastitis often has a feeding or inflammation driver we can address together.
FAQ
