A Milk Blister may be associated with a plugged duct and cause discomfort while breastfeeding. The contents of a cleared blister may appear as granules or a toothpaste-like substance and are harmless to your baby. The backed-up milk should clear once the blister is opened. Soaking breasts in Epsom salts, followed by gentle expression and massage, can also help remove the blister. If these methods do not work, the blister can be opened with a sterilized needle - allowing baby to nurse afterward. To prevent future blockages you can use breast message, breast compressions, frequently feeding, and taking lecithin supplements.
