    Everybody has given such great advice already - go nursing mommas!

    I just wanted to add that a great way to do warm compresses is with a rice sock. Take an old tube sock or other long sock, fill it with rice, tie off the open end, and stick it in the microwave on high for 2-3 minutes. Voila! Hot compress that stays hot for a long while. It really helped when I had blocked ducts. It's also great for soothing sore muscles.

    P.S. - did anyone mention to drink A LOT of water? Being dehydrated can make plugged ducts much more likely.
