Am I doing the right thing (plugged duct)?

Thanks for all the suggestions! :-)

I seem to be escaping the plugged ducts, largely due to Isabella's
constant nursing yesterday. I think she is hitting her 6-week growth
spurt one week early. LOL! :-D

You should have seen my living room yesterday! The twins had all their
toys out because I was nursing and nursing and nursing....well, you get
the idea. ;-)

Idiot me wore a too-tight bra for a full day and now my breasts are
sore. I am suspecting a partially plugged ducts. I have been pumping
every time I feel a bit full and also if Isabella hasn't nursed long
enough to take away that soreness. But now my supply is increasing
because of the added pumping.

When I pump I massage the sore spots (right near the underarm). The
spots are very specific (my whole breasts are not sore just there).

I am so paranoid to avoid plugging these ducts and ending up with mastitis.

Am I doing the right thing by pumping or am I making it worse by
increasing the supply? Is this a "catch-22" situation?

I know it's a little late now, but I'll just throw this out there (I
missed the OP until now)...

I have to admit, it never occurred to me to pump for plugged ducts. I
did a lot of massaging, sometimes from a long ways up the duct, to
where it seemed plugged. That always ended up working for me. Of
course, ds was a marathon-nurser for the first several months, so
there was always plenty of time to work the ducts!

I suppose the pumping was timely for the growth spurt! ;-)
