Several factors can lead to the development of clogged milk ducts:
1. Improper Latch: If a baby is not latching properly, it can lead to inefficient milk removal, which can cause blockages. 2. Infrequent Feeding: Skipping feedings or going long periods without breastfeeding or pumping can result in milk stasis. 3. Pressure on the Breast: Wearing tight clothing or a poorly fitting bra can compress the milk ducts. 4. Stress and Fatigue: High levels of stress and exhaustion can affect milk flow and lead to clogged ducts.
