What rhymes with tub duck?

Plugged duct!

Well, close enough...

I woke up on Saturday with an extremely painful, swollen spot on my left breast. I went to kellymom and looked up plugged duct, because as far as I could tell, that's what was going on. I followed the advice there: apply warm moist heat (in the form of a diaper filled with warm water), get plenty of rest, and empty the breast (hey, another rhyme!). I tried to pump, but nothing happened. Literally, nothing. I was panicked. Did I mention the pain?

I knew I needed Luc to nurse, but the way things have been going lately (he is so busy, eating for only a few minutes before wanting to move on to another activity), I didn't think that was going to solve anything. But I had to try. I got back into bed with Luc and just hoped for the best. And it actually worked! He nursed, fell asleep, then nursed some more. I started to feel better almost immediately. In total, he nursed six times in just over three hours while we both dozed. My little hero!
