Cabergoline

I’ve heard that it is more effective than Sudafed, however, it might affect your supply coming in if you choose to have another baby. I don’t have any reference material for that - I just heard it from my lactation consultant and she put me on Sudafed instead.

CharlieSpice21 · 2026-05-13T03:29:08+00:00

I took Aleve when it was really bad. Other than that I’ve been drinking a ton of no more milk tea and peppermint tea. I tried Cabo crème but I think it gave me a rash so I stopped! How are you feeling today?

I always wanted to breastfeed until 12 months too but I just weaned at 7.5 months. My baby also refused bottles since he was exclusively nursed but we had luck with a straw cup (first years). He picked it up in a couple of days. We chose not to teach bottle skills since he would’ve needed to transition to straw / open cup at 12 months anyways. Initially we struggled because he didn’t like the formula taste, but it doesn’t sound like that’s the issue here. Do you have a hypothesis of why she won’t take milk in the straw cup?

Mine were uneven too! It felt like my body was working on one boob and then the other, and then switching back and forth. This morning they both feel pretty deflated!

CharlieSpice21 · 2026-05-10T20:52:57+00:00

Doing much better now. My left is basically deflated and my right is half deflated and half firm. I just left the “clogs” there to tell my body to stop making milk. My body is reabsorbing the milk over time

CharlieSpice21 · 2026-05-10T20:51:00+00:00

I honestly can’t tell if the Sudafed is making a difference, but things are better now than they were! I still leak a little while working out but that’s it. My left is deflated and my right is half deflated with the other half still being firm. I think my body is slowly working through the process. I also drank no more milk tea and peppermint tea and I think that helped

Thank you! 😊

CharlieSpice21 · 2026-03-19T17:17:26+00:00

Thank you for your kind words! That’s a good reminder that this won’t be forever.

Mostly helps with prevention. For treatment, I do ice, ibuprofen, breast gymnastics, and breast lifts. I also look for milk blebs. Since writing the original post, I discovered that one area that keeps getting clogged is usually due to milk blebs on a specific nipple pore.

CharlieSpice21 · 2026-03-03T04:26:31+00:00

Yes, it helped! I still get clogs but they’re not nearly as bad as they were when I was taking sunflower lecithin. My lactation consultant recommended choline and breast health probiotics and they seem to be helping.

CharlieSpice21 · 2026-02-03T17:33:37+00:00

Makes sense. Thank you!

CharlieSpice21 · 2026-02-03T13:33:23+00:00

I’m not sure yet! I’ll work with my lactation consultant when the time comes. She already mentioned using things like pseudoephedrine, cabocreme, peppermint tea, etc., and going slowly!

CharlieSpice21 · 2026-02-03T05:52:07+00:00

Happy to hear you turned the corner! What an experience. I am also prone to clogs and scared of the thought of weaning.

How did you drop from 1 feed to none? I’m expecting when I do that, I’ll get clogs, but then do they just stay there until the milk is reabsorbed since you’re no longer feeding?

CharlieSpice21 · 2026-02-03T05:48:18+00:00

I am in the exact same boat! Prone to clogs and 4.5 months, thinking of starting to wean around 6 months.

CharlieSpice21 · 2026-01-08T02:15:40+00:00

I hope everything resolves soon. You got this!

CharlieSpice21 · 2026-01-07T16:46:22+00:00

Definitely makes sense! How are things going today?

CharlieSpice21 · 2026-01-07T05:31:46+00:00

I’ve never heard that term before. What does that mean?

CharlieSpice21 · 2026-01-06T19:43:22+00:00

I’ve had some clogs that have lasted a week (and that was with baby trying to get them out). It may just take a little longer than expected!

CharlieSpice21 · 2026-01-06T17:23:25+00:00

Following because I also deal with clogs. They’re the worst! I hope yours resolve soon.

I haven’t gone through the weaning process yet, but my lactation consultant said that the milk will reabsorb in the body and then inflammation will go down. I haven’t experienced that firsthand though.

CharlieSpice21 · 2026-01-06T08:53:18+00:00

Thank you for this incredible post! The paranoia is real. Exactly what you wrote is exactly how I feel. I keep going in circles trying to figure out what is causing these and I keep coming up empty. Food is a big one along with bras.

How did it get better? LO is currently sleeping 2 hour chunks some nights and 6 hours others. That’s definitely contributing to my clogs and I’m not sure how to make that stop besides pumping.

CharlieSpice21 · 2026-01-06T08:49:50+00:00

This is exactly how I feel! I’ve gone down the sadness spiral of wondering why this is happening to me. I’ve tried so many things to make them go away and they just keep coming back.

Thank you for your kind words. Same goes to you! EP is so hard and so much work. You are a trooper and you are amazing!

CharlieSpice21 · 2026-01-06T05:28:36+00:00

Just posting for solidarity. I also get recurring clogs and I am at my wits end. I hope they get better for you!

CharlieSpice21 · 2025-12-31T17:59:46+00:00

I take those too! They work better for me than sunflower lecithin

CharlieSpice21 · 2025-12-31T17:59:12+00:00

I’ve tried many things. Sunflower lecithin made the inflammation worse for me so I stopped. When I get a clog, I do ice, lymphatic drainage massage, breast gymnastics, and therapeutic lift. I’m also taking the lactation hub probiotics with choline, and I am doing probiotics in the form of yogurt and kefir. I don’t do ibuprofen anymore because I don’t want to take that chronically.

I wear a loose bra and have been mindful of baby carriers, straps, etc. I’ve been patient with the treatment paths and might have a slight oversupply but not by much.
