Some other methods to help treat blocked milk ducts
Warm compress: Helps to dissolve blocked milk flow. You should pay attention to the temperature of the water used to apply, not too hot to avoid burning the skin. You can use a towel dipped in warm water to cover it or soak your whole chest in a warm bath, while soaking and massaging the clogged chest.
Change multiple breastfeeding positions: Each feeding position will exert the strongest suction on different milk ducts. In the case of mild engorgement, simply changing the feeding position can clear the ducts. While breastfeeding continue to combine gentle massage on the clogged area.

Expressing milk by hand: Using your hands to massage the clogged breast, the clotted milk bags inside will gradually dissolve. This method is effective for mild cases of blocked milk ducts.

Gently “squeeze” in the pain can bear, rub slowly in a circle, increase gradually, about 20-30 times, then do the opposite and repeat many times.
