Sam Faiers has been advised to turn to an electric toothbrush for assistance after revealing her body "shut down" due to a blocked milk duct. In a post shared to her Instagram Story, the former TOWIE star, who recently revealed she felt like a "human cow", detailed her recent breast feeding battle, which she said began with a "really tender pain in my right breast". Mum-of-three Sam, who welcomed her third child last month, opened up to fans as she posted a snap of the newborn sleeping in her lap on her Instagram story.
She told fans by writing on top of the image: "Then my whole body went into shutdown. I was shivering & cold. My bones were aching.
It was flu-like symptoms. "So I basically had a blocked milk duct. I've never experienced that before.
It was soo painful.Today I've rested in bed all day. I took 2 warm baths (the warm water helps with the blocked duct)," she continued. Sam detailed her plight further, writing: "I let the baby feed all day on the affected breast to try and clear the blockage.
"Anyways I feel a million times better this evening after a full day of rest, but wow that was so painful. I feel like the duct is released. Just going to keep a close eye on it." In a follow-up post, Sam shared another snap of her baby soundly asleep.
She wrote: "This little sweetie has laid with me all day. He's been so content. It's like he knew mumma wasn't well." Later, the reality star shared a series of advice people had given her on her blocked duct.
