I've been breastfeeding now for 6 months and have had a few problems with blocked ducts but they've not been regular. It has just got a lot worse now that DD is sleeping through the night and is starting solids. I wake up in pain with too much milk as my breasts don't seem to have realised she isn't waking up for food anymore. I'm now getting one blocked duct a week, not in the same place or in the same breast every time though. Can anyone tell me a way of preventing this, or any way of easing the pain when it happens? Or can anyone reassure me that this won't get worse as I increase solids and decrease milk feeds?
