Have you seen this image pop up on my page before, I mean the black and white photo behind the infographic? It's me and my little girl when she was just a few months old, and a photographer captured this adorable moment of her breastfeeding. I love it! But it does remind me of all the tough times we had breastfeeding. I had so many clogs and blocks. I got through mastitis a few times too, always through manual boob therapy, thankfully I didn't need any antibiotics YES - it is often possible to recover from mastitis without taking antibiotics, but you have to know what you are looking for and act quickly So these are the top 6 signs that you have a clog: 1️⃣ Painful breast 2️⃣ Tender lump, possibly also redness of the skin over the lump 3️⃣ A small white blister on the nipple (milk bleb) 4️⃣ Slow milk flow 5️⃣ Swelling or redness of the breast 6️⃣ Low fever / Areas that are warm to touch DM me now if you think you have any signs of this and lets walk you through step by step what is the right way for you to handle your boobs Sometimes it can be as simple a a "basic boob management protocol" that will take you no more than 5 mins everyday, or if you need referral to a Dr I'll be honest about that too DM me now if your boobs are blocked! DM the word "MASTITIS" and I'll send you the Empowa 7 page Guide to Mastitis 🤱🏻🤱🏻🤱🏻🤱🏻🤱🏻🤱🏻 #blockedduct #cloggedduct #mastitis #milkblister #milkbleb #breastfeeding #chestfeeding #lactationsupport #sgmum #newmum #firsttimemum #sgmummies #postpartumdoula #postpartumconsultant #postpartumcare #postnatalcare #postnatalsupport #empowasg #empowayourmotherhood (at Singapore / Singapura / 新加坡 / சிங்கப்பூர்) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpxTKL_SKMx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
