She had breastfed all three of her children, but nothing compared to the struggle she faced with her last. Clogged ducts and mastitis became a recurring nightmare, painful, persistent, and emotionally draining.
Through trial and error, she found a few things that truly made a difference. Sunflower lecithin turned out to be a game-changer, helping to keep her milk flowing and the clogs at bay. When things got bad, she used hot compresses and massaged the affected area, sometimes with an electric toothbrush to break up stubborn blockages.
It wasn’t easy, and it certainly wasn’t painless, but those tools became her lifeline in surviving one of the hardest parts of her breastfeeding journey.
