Dip a towel in warm water and use as a compress. Massage can be done using oil or lotion.

Place a warm compress on the hardened part and then gently massage the area. You may need to repeat this a few times. Also express milk to soften and empty the ducts. Once the area feels soft try and latch baby on. It is best to feed baby on both sides as this will ensure that milk production is not hampered in either breast.
