  5. After taking Lactare and fenugreek capsules to increase my milk supply, I missed some milk expressions and now have a hard, painful, and tender lump in one breast that I cannot empty; is this a clogged milk duct, could tight underwear have caused it, and what should I do to clear it using a breast pump, medicine, or a nursing bra?

After taking Lactare and fenugreek capsules to increase my milk supply, I missed some milk expressions and now have a hard, painful, and tender lump in one breast that I cannot empty; is this a clogged milk duct, could tight underwear have caused it, and what should I do to clear it using a breast pump, medicine, or a nursing bra?

wear a supportive, non-wired nursing bra. Apply a warm compress before nursing or pumping to encourage flow, and gently massage the lump toward the nipple. Emptying the breast comfortably is key. You can take ibuprofen to reduce pain and inflammation. If the lump doesn't resolve in 24 to 48 hours, or if you develop a fever or spreading redness, please contact your healthcare provider. We want to ensure you stay healthy and comfortable!
