My baby won't nurse so I am just pumping. I think I have blocked ducts but I have applied heat and massaged and pumped and my production is still down on my left breast where I feel the hard spots. What else can I do to unblock them?

Treatment is indeed warm moist heat and massage and frequent emptying. I find that hot showers are better than hot compresses - you can put olive oil on your hands and try and massage in shower and then again while pumping. You can also use the butt of an electric toothbrush to massage - this sometimes
