How to Use a Lactation Massager for a Clogged Duct

Feeling pain, lumps, or tenderness in your breast? You may be dealing with a clogged milk duct—a common but uncomfortable breastfeeding issue. Thankfully, the Primo Passi Lactation Massager, with vibration and warming features, can help relieve it quickly and safely.
🧠 What Is a Clogged Duct?
A clogged (or blocked) duct happens when milk gets stuck in a part of the breast. It can cause:
-
A painful lump or sore spot
-
Swelling or redness
-
Slower milk flow
-
Risk of developing mastitis if untreated
Early treatment is key—and that’s where your lactation massager comes in.
✅ Step-by-Step: How to Use Your Primo Passi Massager
1. Turn On the Heat
Start by activating the warming mode. Applying gentle heat helps soften the tissue, open the milk ducts, and relieve swelling.
2. Gently Massage Around the Clog
Use the massager’s vibration setting and apply it to the area around the clogged duct—not directly on it at first. Use circular motions, working your way toward the nipple to encourage milk flow.
3. Follow the Milk Flow Path
Always massage in the direction of the nipple, helping the trapped milk move through the ducts. Think of it like unblocking a pipe!
4. Nurse or Pump Immediately After
Use the massager just before or even during breastfeeding or pumping. This can help drain the breast more fully and clear the clog.
5. Repeat as Needed
You can safely use your lactation massager multiple times a day until the pain or lump goes away.

🔁 Tips for Best Results
-
Apply a warm compress or take a warm shower before using the massager.
-
Stay hydrated and try to rest as much as possible.
-
Avoid tight bras that may restrict milk flow.
-
Use different nursing positions to empty the breast fully.
⚠️ When to See a Doctor
If you have a fever, chills, or worsening pain, you may be developing mastitis. Always consult your healthcare provider if symptoms persist or worsen.
