As a nursing mom who has had many instances of clogged ducts issues, I'm so glad that my sister recommended I take Lecithin gel tablets. Since that time, I haven't had any clogged ducts issues. Another friend, after having mastitis twice, was recommended by her doctor to take Lecithin, in addition to some other supplements.
This is by no means medical advice to you people reading this. I'm simply saying that from my own experience, I am ever thankful for Lecithin. Taking Lecithin doesn't do away with engourgement issues, but it has taken away clogged duct issues. For awhile clogged ducts was the bain of my existence. It made nursing painful, especially on one breast. Made me think twice about continuing to breastfeed. Don't get me wrong, neither mastitis or clogged ducts were going shake me from my commitment to breastfeed our daughter. I'm just saying it was uncomfortable and excruciatingly painful (when I had mastitis).
Now, the only thing that makes me shudder when nursing is when Isabella bites me with those little sharp teeth of hers. And yes, I am handing that issue.
Here is some helpful reading on Lecithin: Lecithin treatment for recurrent plugged ducts.
