True. Got a recurring one on my right side that got me sick more than once and it left me with a permanently dilated duct. Now I get the same milk clog like pains before every period (though luckily milder than an actual clog) even though I haven't nursed in over a year.

I cringed in pain memory...

I feel better about my defective boobs now
7,308,804
mommit
This brings back the memory of when I was in the hospital when we were getting ready to leave and I hadnt pumped and my boobs were so full they were so painful never felt that kind of pain before in my life, had to ask my husband to help massage the milk out bc we end up having to stay in the hospital

My son had a tongue tie which caused a lot of eating problems before we got it clipped. I got full blown mastitis from the clog. It was awful. I can't remember the last time I was that sick.

I’ve gotten mastitis with three of three kids so far. I’m pregnant with #4. Already stocking up on castor oil and lecithin but also prepared to get antibiotics AGAIN.

The worst fever of my life was from mastitis. I hit 104. The whole room was spinning and I could barely walk. What's really scary is how fast it happens. I woke up in the morning just fine, noticed some pain in my breast, and then an hour later, 104 fever.

I’ve spent almost the entire day trying to clear a clog with zeeeero luck. Now in bed in tears because half my boob is rock solid, I got a grand total of 4oz out of it today and it HURTS. Ughhhh
7,308,809
mommit
I feel this. I had a bad clog and pumping wouldn’t do a damn thing. Tried to nurse and my daughter was getting frustrated, understandably. She cried, I cried, but she eventually managed to clear it for me. I was so proud and grateful to her.

When I had my daughter, she breastfed for 14 months. I had a few clogs with her, and I could never get them out with my pump. She always had to get them out for me.
7,308,811
mommit
The worst thing that ever happened when I was breastfeeding my daughter was a really stubborn clog combined with a milk bleb. There were a lot of tears and they were not from the baby.
7,308,812
mommit
Mastitis is just the worst thing. And you still have to take care of your infant through it!

Sunflower oil is a great source of vitamin A and vitamin D, as well as Iron and Calcium. So even when there’s no sunlight, there is still sunflower oil to provide your daily dose of vitamin D sunshine! Not only that, but Sunflowers are enriched with B group vitamins, as well as vitamin E. This is as well as other miner...

The first time my daughter slept through the night I woke up in agony. I had to pump some milk out before I could even let her eat. There was nothing for her to latch onto the skin was do tight. Ow

How does castor oil help? I’ve heard of lecithin. But interested in all the help I can get! I got mastitis a bunch with my first and I’m due with my second soon.
7,308,818
mommit
Have you tried letting your partner suck it out? Ngl it works.
7,308,819
mommit
I had success with using a vibrator on the clog. Sounds weird- works so well. Bonus if you can use it in a hot shower. I have also used a haakaa in the hot shower. Esit: Also, last resort when I had mastitis I had to rent a hospital grade pump from my local hospital. You could check to see if yours does rentals.
7,308,820
mommit
Omg I’m so sorry I know exactly how you feel. I break down and cry every time I get one because it just sucks so bad and makes my whole body ache every time I get one. I really hope you can get it. I don’t know if you have one of those vibrating toothbrushes that might help. Edit: get it out I meant.
7,308,821
mommit
I’ve been there. Only a month ago! I tried EVERYTHING (incl hubby trying to suck it out) and ended up having antibiotics But the thing that worked was a Haaka or silicon pump filled with warm water. ONLY thing that worked for me. https://milkbarbreastpumps.com.au/blogs/news/clear-a-blocked-duct-with-your-haakaa-eps...
7,308,822
mommit
If you have a electric toothbrush or a “toy” that vibrates put it on your breast wear it is clogged. I did it with a warm compress and in the shower too to help break it up.
7,308,823
mommit
Hot shower and feed your baby with their chin towards the blocked area. Nursing gymnastics, but it's worth it. I remember the rock hard pain. You've got this Mama.
7,308,824
mommit
Take a max dose of ibuprofen and wait half an hour(this brings down the swelling around the clog), take a really hot shower and massage it and try to hand express while in the shower then do a hanging pump/hand express while massaging. Clogs f*#$ing suck
7,308,825
mommit
Ouch I’m sorry that sucks. I don’t wish it on anyone but I never imagined how painful it could be.
7,308,826
mommit
Last time my midwife recommended a hot pack with castor oil to help break up the clog.
7,308,827
mommit
Yep, I caved once I got mastitis and had my husband do it. Can confirm that the embarrassment was better that the pain from mastitis. Would make him do it again.
7,308,828
mommit
Just heads him up it might be gross. And can confirm this is the easiest way to do it and least painful. Take a hot shower first.
7,308,829
mommit
Kind of!? But it HURTS so doesn’t last long. Prob need to suck it up though
7,308,830
mommit
I was up til 1am doing this, and this morning was able to pump the clog out! So some mixture of literally everything “in the book” must have worked yesterday
7,308,831
mommit
I saw a recommendation for using the haakaa with epsom salt water in it, but I didn't have a haakaa. So I ended up taking an Epsom salt bath and hand expressing in the water. That, along with moist heat pad, and lots of sunflower lecithin, seems to be a decent combination for me. Clogs are the worst.
7,308,832
mommit
Thankfully all the crap I did yesterday seems to have (mostly) cleared the clog, but plan on doing all of this today anyway - can't hurt to ensure it's as unclogged as possible. Thank youuuu

Lol I once threw my kid into the Heimlich position while he was eating because I thought he was silently choking. Turns out he was pooping.
7,308,845
mommit
Yeah, I’m with you. My 1 year old was eating breakfast and she came to give me a hug. I had no idea she’d shit in a brand new clean diaper. She was giving me loves, rubbing my face with (what I thought was) her grubby little banana mash hands. Well what I didn’t know was that she went digging for gold and it was al...

Ahh haha reminds me of my toddler who means "don't " but says do.. and gets increasingly frustrated as you are doing whatever it is he is asking you to do (when he really means don't)!
7,308,847
mommit
For the longest time the word “yesterday” referred to anything in the past whether it was earlier that day or 2 years prior
7,308,848
mommit
I had to tell my friends to stop promising things to my toddler because she has no concept of time. “This summer we’ll go to the beach” means we’re going tomorrow.

Lmao. Sorry. I definitely laughed.

Last night I was getting my 16 month old ready for bed after her bath. Halfway through she started getting really upset and would not stop pointing at the bedroom door towards the bathroom. There’s a lot of other stuff in that direction though, so I just thought she wanted a toy or something. It went on for like 5 minu...

Oh man now I know I need to ask! “Yes, you pooped last night. Do you have to poop right now?” Poor mom! crazy babies!
7,308,852

Haha! My five year old is convinced the past tense of “give” is “gove”.
7,308,853
mommit
Ahhh, I love toddlers, they are just trying to figure out this crazy thing called life 🥹 When I tell my 2.5yo that's enough of some food she's serving herself or soap she's dispensing, etc, she likes to say "Mama, I want TOO MUCH" instead of " a lot"
7,308,854
mommit
Kind of related but my toddler thinks it’s a new day every time she wakes up. So I’m the morning, yeah it’s a new day, but after nap she also thinks it’s a new day. Gets confusing when talking about today and tomorrow.
7,308,855

My 4 year old says last, last later a lot. I have no idea when things actually happened. Also he talks about things that happened when he was 2, like it was yesterday.

My 14 mo signs “all done” when she’s finished a food and wants more of it. Today during lunch I gave her some blueberries and grilled cheese and went to fix myself something and came back a few minutes to her signing done and chewing. She didn’t look like she was done eating so I asked if she wanted more berries and sh...

Made my morning! “I pooped” can also mean “I farted”.
7,308,863

My 4 year old still gets tenses wrong, or he’ll add -ed to things to make them past tense. Like fall, he says “I falled”. He refers to today as “this day” and tomorrow as “the day after this day”.

We were at the pool at my dads yesterday. My son had been in the water and when he got out, I took his swim diaper off and let him kinda go free for a few. He proceeded to squat, pee and then drop a giant turd onto their patio rug. Everyone laughed it off but oh my lord- I almost died from a combo of embarrassment and ...

Ah yes, this is where language gets fun. It gets even more fun when they have some understanding, but not fully there yet. My almost 3 year old refers to “yesterday” to mean any time in the past.

At least you know you’re quick to react if it were to happen for real! When we would choke my mom would run away

Oh lord, I feel this in my soul. Also, for the past year, my almost 3yo sometimes looks like she’s choking and I panic and run to her, but she’s just pretending to be a cat throwing up a hairball.

I'm really sorry to say it can get worse than this. My 6 year old was recently ill and had an incident that was the worst I have ever experienced. We ended up throwing away a mattress and duvet and just about managed to save the carpet.

At 2/3 my oldest would ask for bread (meaning toast) or soft bread (actually bread). Cue the temper tantrums if he asked someone else for bread, expected toast and got bread

My kids say “when I was little” for anything that happened in the past, be it last year or last week.

My youngest couldn't understand the concept of yesterday for a long time, she kept saying tomorrow. So funny!

Same here, except mine says "nexterday"
7,308,886

Same here, or referring to the past (even yesterday) as “when I was a little baby”.

Mine uses tomorrow instead of yesterday. But like yours yesterday can mean any time in the past. Very confusing!

Mine is currently saying "last night" for anything in the past. Or "the other day"
7,308,891

My stepdaughter does this. We get her every week for 2 days and she'll say "yesterday when I was here" and I'm thinking girl you havent been here in 5 days lol or she'll say dinner when it's lunch because anything not morning time is night time except when it's bedtime and she won't sleep
7,308,892

Yes!! Ours does this. When do incorrect yesterdays go away?!?

Mine would think it means today. Also jealous you live close to the beach hahahaha. I live in a land lock state.

After the fact I did too! And by that I mean after I washed my hands and got her breakfast before toddler meltdown hahahaha

That totally makes sense, because that's what you say ("That's too much!) when she takes a lot of stuff.
7,308,896

Yeah my now 5yo didn’t understand pronouns for a long time either, she always referred to herself as “you” because that’s how we referred to her.
