Hi Joy,
thank you for the info. (Thanks also to the others who wrote me
off list.)
I tried heat and massage with oil and it seems to be working.
The lump isn't as big now.
Someone also suggested that ultrasound might help..If the blockage
hasn't completely resolved by Monday, I'll
heard that the most common cause of mastitis is over
socialising. Perhaps its urgent to take a weekend doing nothing??? :)

Hello to all,
Was wondering if anyone has ideas re. draining a blocked milk duct. I've
been breastfeeding for three years and have, for the first time developed a
blockage. It is about an inch long and an inch in width.
It has been there for a few days and is
sensitive to touch. I have

Great article Cas. Things do indeed look a little more promising for 2004.
And as this year draws to a close, I want to thank all those wonderful

you did us proud. Thank you. And thank you to all those who
rang,e.mailed or wrote their letters of complaint yesterday. I think we all

Have heard it said that since most women in
