Wanting to go EFF but dealing with mastitis and clogged ducts

@loveisintheairkathryn This is the protocol from my IBCLC
  • Pumping? Reduce volume pumped by 25% every 2 days (ie normally pump 4oz per session, stop at 3oz)
  • Nursing? Drop one feeding at a time. Waiting until your body readjusts to then drop the next one. Drop every other in the schedule (ie if feeding at 9a 12p 3p 6p drop the noon one, wait, then drop the 6p etc)
  • Take sunflower lecithin supplement to help prevent clogs
  • use lymphatic drainage massage to relieve discomfort
  • obviously involve provider at any sign of mastitis
