Thrush Nursing/Breastfeeding

Having a plugged or clogged milk duct is different than having a ductal yeast infection. Plugged milk ducts can usually be released/treated by hand massage or using heat packs on the bump. Ductal thrush treatment is more difficult and requires using some of the methods used above.

In either condition, you should still breastfeed your baby so he/she gets needed nutrition. Stopping breastfeeding can cause the breast to further engorge with milk causing more pain for your breast yeast infection. If the breast becomes too full, try using a breast pump to empty the breast and possibly drain the plugged milk duct. Also, if ducts continue to get clogged, a condition called mastitis can develop. Mastitis is a benign infection with the symptoms of localized breast tenderness, flu-like feelings, fatigue, headache, and muscle aches (Wambach, 2003).

If you've tried all the examples here, and still feel excruciating pain you may want to visit a lactation consultant or naturopathic physician in your area.
