Pump more frequently rather than for 30 minute sessions...  you want to get the milk moving and frequency will help more than length of time.  20 minutes at a time is easier on the girls. 

Lecithin can help:  http://www.kellymom.com/nutrition/vitamins/lecithin.html

Heat and massage before pumping and massage and compress while pumping.

Maybe some hand expression after pumping.

Not to hijack another thread but I don't want to start another thread with the same topic.

How do I know if it's a clogged duct. I have that one nipple that started out with the two white dots, they have gotten bigger and more painfull and now my boob aches almost all day long. How do I know if it's a blister or a clogged duct..or even something else?

Mel, maybe a bleb (milk blister)?  http://www.kellymom.com/bf/concerns/mom/nipplebleb.html

Any white in her mouth?  Thrush?  http://breastfeeding.hypermart.net/thrush.html

Bleb sounds more likely but one of those 2 pages should help... hugs

MA, I hope it clears quickly for you! If you start running a fever, call your OB/GYN. You don't want the clog to lead to mastitis.

Mel, a clogged milk duct is usually more visible on the breast, away from the nipple & areola.

I've had a couple and I had a red patch on the breast which was warm/hot to the touch, tender and had a lump underneath.

I used warm compresses, started each breastfeeding session on that side (hungry baby does wonders for clearing a clog...LOL) and used my free hand to gently massage just behind/above the affected area during nursing.

In both instances, the clog cleared completely within two days.

I *think* its almost gone if not gone. I cheated and used the hot water bottle twice it worked well, the last time I pumped I got 7oz between both sides, and that was in 15 minutes of pumping and its not as hard as it was thanks for all the tips ladies!
