Casein lead to clogged milk ducts ? Posted: 05-12-08 19:16pm
I have been breast feeding my daughter for
3 months and have had an unusually high
number of clogged milk ducts. I'm drinking
Herbalife "Nutritional Shake Mix" and
"Ensure" three times daily, both of which
list Casein or "Milk Protein Concentrate"
as a main ingredient. My question is can
this intake of large quantities of Casein
make my own breast milk coagulate and clot
more easily and therefore lead to this
high number of clogged milk ducts? This is
an important question for me because I
want to continue to breast feed but the
clogged ducts, engorgement and resultant
Mastitis makes it very painful and
difficult. My other question is how much
if any Casein might my baby be receiving
through my breast milk? Her father has a
Gluten and Casein allergy and she has
shown some allergic reactions to Cow's
milk the couple of times she was
unfortunately given formula. Any other
ideas on diet and clogged milk ducts are
welcomed!

I moved this to parenting, I thought you
might get more answers there.
