We’re new parents, and my wife’s been breastfeeding. A few days ago, she developed a clogged milk duct that was causing her serious pain. She tried everything: warm compresses, massage, different feeding positions, the haakaa trick, nothing worked.
Eventually, we came across a post that said sometimes strong suction can help… and yeah, I volunteered.
So there I was, sucking on her boob like some weird human breast pump, and it actually worked. It unclogged, milk came out, and she got almost instant relief.
It was awkward and kind of hilarious, but I’d 100% do it again if it meant helping her feel better. Marriage takes you to some wild places, but honestly, I’ve never felt more like a team.
