Maybe breastfeeding and EP’ing are not commonly practised in our country, many healthcare professionals are not aware of the treatment to various associated problems. Believe it or not, we do not have a lactation consultant in the hospital I gave birth in. Correct me if I am wrong, I don’t think we have one in Kuching.
After bouts of long and painful plugged ducts, I almost gave up on EP’ing. My doctor did not have anything to lighten my pain or to prevent future clogs. I did my own research online and talked to a few doctors and pharmacists. Surprisingly none of them ever heard of the methods widely adopted in other countries. Tired of frequent clogs and unwilling to give up, I followed the online advice .. and it worked! My infection cleared up and I did not have another clog!
