✨ Why do clogged ducts happen more in winter? Tight clothing: Thick, snug winter layers and tight bras can compress breast tissue, increasing the risk of blockages. Stress and fatigue: The busyness of the season can impact milk flow and make blockages more likely. Dehydration: Cold weather often means we drink less water, which can affect milk production and flow. Keeping water and electrolytes on hand is a necessity! ✨ How can you prevent clogged ducts? 1️⃣ Opt for comfortable clothing. Choose loose-fitting, supportive bras and avoid tight layers that put pressure on your breasts. 2️⃣ Stick to your feeding schedule: Keeping milk moving is key to preventing clogs. Don’t let family gatherings get in the way of your milk supply! 3️⃣ Support your gut health. Breast-health specific probiotics such as Lactabiotic can promote a healthy balance of good bacteria, which may help reduce inflammation and support optimal milk flow. A healthy gut microbiome is a great ally for your lactation journey! 4️⃣ Stay hydrated to prevent inflammation.
Taking small steps to care for your body—like focusing on your good bacteria- can put clogs right back where they belong, on the Naughty List!
