Ok, so I just recently went back to work working as a nurse. Because I’m use to breastfeeding almost every hour, being away from baby, especially working as a nurse, caught up with me. Today at work, I FORGOT MY PUMP!! A mistake that I WILL NEVER make again…
The last few hours for me was literal hell on earth. I went through an all natural labor and birth and I would have to say that the constant pain that I experienced tonight came awfully close, if not a tie. Once I got off of work, I rushed to pick up my kids from my mom’s house. I was dying to relieve the pressure. Because I was so engorged full of milk, my infant didn’t quiet eat enough to relieve all the pressure and pain that had built up. I of course did not have the oils I needed on me, but luckily my mom had a few. I was aching for Copaiba because I knew I had to get the inflammation down. My mom unfortunately did not have that so I used her Stress Away instead because I knew it had a little of Copaiba blended in there. Stress away paired with Frankincense was the only thing that was allowing me to tolerate the pain of feeding the baby. The pain was so intense for me. I could not wait to get home, pump, and apply more oils.
Once I was able to bare to move, much less drive, I made it home. The first thing I did was apply Copaiba, Frankincense, and Melrose because I knew all were good for supporting normal inflammatory response. I knew I also had to drink plenty of water so I could flush out what I knew was clogged. Boy I tell you, instant relief. I was able to nurse and pump without crying. I’m even pumping again while I’m writing this blog. For me to even be able to function and type a coherent post speaks leaps and bounds. I thank God so much for these oils. I’m literally not just saying that. I want to post any personal testimony I can because readers deserve to know natural remedies exist and WORK!!!
So what is my “Bye Bye Clogged Milk” regimen???
1. Apply these oils ASAP
2. Drink plenty of water to flush out clogged ducts
3. Massage out “knots” while feeding or pumping
4. Pump and/or feed often
5. Rest
6. Pray : )
I promise you relief.
Always Droppin’,
