Clogged ducts can feel alarming — but understanding what’s really happening can make them much easier to manage.

What many people call a “clog” is most often inflammation in the breast tissue that narrows the duct and traps milk. The goal isn’t to force anything out, but to calm the inflammation so milk can flow normally again.

This is why supportive, gentle care works best:

❄️ Cold instead of heat
🤲 Gentle, lymphatic massage
🛌 Feed or pump as you normally would
💊 Treat inflammation

Small shifts in how you respond can make a big difference in comfort and recovery. And can save you from another round of antibiotics.

Swipe through to see what helps — and what may actually slow healing.

This is the most common latching advice I give to newborn parents that they often don’t follow, but if they did it would solve A LOT.

I don’t think they mean to not follow it.

But so often when an issue pops up I have to remind them where to start with their latch.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m SO HAPPY to do this. But here’s your reminder to start strong before you even latch baby❤️

Save this post for when you need the reminder and share with a friend who might need it too!

👋 I’m Anne and I’m an IBCLC. I see pregnant and postpartum people virtually and in person in the foothills of Colorado.

Follow me for breastfeeding and pumping tips, maybe a little parenting and b**b humor and other resources for your feeding journey.

I’m glad you’re here 🤍

A collection of B👀b flavored Valentine’s Day Haiku from me to you.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Milk drunk and dreamy
Tiny hand gripping my shirt
B**b: five-star cuisine

Latch, unlatch, repeat
Baby unsure, b**b confused
Everyone tired

Midnight, 2am
3am… what is time now
B**b runs this household

Snack crumbs on my shirt
Hydration level: critical
Send chocolate. Fast.

One sock, no bra found
Baby already hungry
Chaos. Every day.

Baby at my b**b.
You sleeping peacefully there.
Unbelievable. 😂

Tiny human feasts
Five minutes later — encore
B**b: open 24/7

Fed. Burped. Back again.
Surely this cannot be hunger.
Baby: “Watch me.”

Evening arrives fast
Baby senses my weakness
Cluster mode engaged.

Tiny sigh of peace
Milk dribbles, eyelids flutter
Laundry waits. Again.

I'm terrible at asking clients for a review or testimonial. But sometimes they do it anyway and my heart explodes. I LOVE what I do. And it is so incredible to know that I've been helpful in some way during this transformational time. Thank you for taking the time to share with me. It's not expected, especially during such a busy time for families, but it is incredible to hear from you when you do 💙

"Anne is phenomenal at what she does! We worked with her for lactation support a few days after our first was born. I had no idea what I was doing and my baby was struggling to gain weight. Anne came to our house and provided the most support we’ve received since getting pregnant. She’s so knowledgeable, patient and down to earth. We really enjoy our time with her and she’s become a friend along the way."

I'm planning to be out of the office July 26-August 5 with my family. If you need support in the next few weeks I have opened up more time for next week on my calendar. You can schedule here: www.evergreendoulaservices.com/book-a-lactation-consult or find the link in my bio ✨

I'll have some time on my calendar open from August 6-August 15, but with limited availability before school starts. Please reach out to me directly if you don't find time on my calendar and we can find a time. ✨

I hope everyone is enjoying summer in the foothills!

💚Anne
