Have you tried this method before to unblock your milk ducts?

How to Unplug Your Milk Ducts Using Your Haakaa
You will need: Epsom Salts, Haakaa Pump, Pump Cap, Warm Water (as warm as you can handle)

1. Fill your Haakaa Pump 3/4 full with warm water and 1 teaspoon of Epsom Salts.
2. Stir, or put the pump cap on and shake the pump, until dissolved.
3. Fold back the flange and squeeze the pump gently so the water is pushed to the top.
4. Bend forward so your nipple is facing downward into the pump.
5. Place your breast in the pump, making sure your nipple is submerged in the water.
6. Unfold the flange and let the pump suction onto breast.
7. Leave the pump on for 10-15 minutes.

This is just one way that some mamas have found very effective. Others have said that they've had success with not submerging the nipple, as the steam from the water helps too! Do you have any other methods that have helped you?
