Blocked (Plugged or Clogged) Milk Duct Education Series, Part 2

What can you do right away when you suspect a clogged duct? 🤍

- Breastfeed as often as your baby wishes
- Rest
- Apply ice or cold packs to the tender area
- If you are engorged, consider doing lymphatic drainage—a very gentle, light yet firm touch, with fingertips flat to the skin in the armpit area and upper chest
- In consultation with your healthcare provider, consider using ibuprofen

A specific treatment I offer that has helped hundreds of women is a painless and comforting treatment called Therapeutic Ultrasound. In most cases, the duct can be unblocked in 1-2 sessions. This is an evidence-based treatment that is often recommended by maternity care providers in Squamish, who refer their patients to me for this treatment.

I can also add therapeutic cupping, as well as acupuncture (with or without microcurrent/MPS), to further enhance the treatment.

Part 2 of our educational series is now live on our website - hit the link in bio to read more.

Mastitis (inflammation of the breast) happens when a blocked duct doesn’t clear and causes localized swelling and inflammation.

La Leche League adds that “It is also possible for the breast to become infected. If you have mastitis, you may have a higher fever (likely above 38.5) and may feel like you have the flu.

Find out what causes it and what you can do today!

When offered the choice of keeping the rest of their candy or trading it for Lego from the Switch Witch, there was no hesitation. Ronin was worried the switch witch would come before his letter was finished, so he rushed to put it on the front steps. This is year 2 of the witch visiting. We’ll take it!! 🧙‍♀️

Wish you could see your pelvic floor and transverse (inner) abs in action? Now you can!

Real-Time Ultrasound lets us see and retrain your muscles (without an internal exam)!

The Clarius Real-Time Ultrasound device lets us see how your pelvic floor is lifting and whether you are activating both the front and back (hint: if you're leaking, chances are the front isn't activating well)!

We can also see how the different layers of your abdominal muscles are working. Are you overusing your outer abs and not using your inner abs (your transversus abdominis muscles) well? This is critical for abdominal separation (Diastasis Recti/DRA).

A full, comprehensive assessment involves both an internal exam and ultrasound, but the internal can be delayed with the help of this tool. Glow Physio is excited to include this as part of a Holistic Pelvic Health approach. Let's take the mystery out of your pelvic floor and core and get you back to doing what you love!
Shoutout to .cheerful.pelvis for the post inspiration!

I’m certified to provide infant sleep advice, but that doesn’t mean naps always go my way... 🤣🤦‍♀️

Oscar (19 months old) is on one nap, but fell asleep on the way home from the gondola this morning when it was a bit too close to nap time. That short nap meant he would have trouble making it to bedtime since his wake window would’ve been too long. He wouldn’t take a full nap in the crib after that accidental car nap since he didn’t have enough “sleep pressure” built up.

I thought he might take a short nap in the car in the afternoon to help him make it to bed time...

Instead, his 4-year-old brother who no longer naps took full advantage of the drive. An early bedtime solved it all anyways! 😊

Sometimes things don’t go according to plan but it is worth it for a beautiful morning up the Gondola (and to not always be stuck in “nap jail”). 😉

I am passionate about improving sleep for my clients and their children, which is why I have a post-graduate certification in infant sleep, and have taken post-graduate courses on adult sleep.

Sleep is pivotal to your healing, whether from pelvic health concerns or from chronic pain. If you have questions about how to improve your sleep or your infant’s sleep send them my way! ❤️
