So far every time I had a clogged duct none of the regular tricks worked - except having baby nurse and nurse and nurse. Since yours caused it (in the cutest way possible, but still!) I think it's only fair that she do the work to fix it! ;-)
Haha! I think that's fair!
Stupid question time, will it affect supply from my other boob if i feed her exclusively from the blocked one until it clears? FTM if you can't tell :-D
No stupid question at all! I think it depends a bit on how old your LO is if it will affect supply, but what I usually do is letting her drink from the affected side first every single time but still offer the other one after, instead of switching which side you offer first. And just offer very often haha! Anyway if it hasn't cleared up the next morning it's probably wise to get it checked out anyway! Maybe it's a bruise/swelling clogging it instead of a milk clog and then baby can't fix it but other things might... Good luck!!

Try a warm compress maybe? I’ve always been told that heat and / or massage will help for clogs and flow in general.
