Joanne, no dun need poke deep. Its a very tiny dot on surface, super tiny sometimes may not notice so sometimes pressing can also get it out, not a deep long white thing. So u use needle to just "Twinge/push it out" As if u are removing a splinter, not poke it, its more to push it out. U press ur breast 1st, make sure the white harden milk dot is on surface, then u gently use the needle push the white dot. Then u press again.
Pauline, u enlighten me. U mention "eyes" of nipple, so i wonder if cannot see white dot, if i find the eye of the block duct, will i be able to somehow press the milk lump out. So i just now use pump... cannot pump out the lump, i press to find the "eye", then i use needle to push the eye, like expand the eye, i see transparent fluid come out. (Note: when there is a lump, the milk inside usually is foremilk and more transparent instead of milky) So i press press, needle push open the eye and pump out. Left breast clear. Right breast same thing, i use needle to push the eye, transparent fluid come out, then i press.. heng this one i find the white dot, i take out the white dot.
Terence say so you are now mdm "Lock-kiah" not mdm rokiah is it.. (my surname is LOCK)... BTW beside the pressing of the lump is painful, the needle or tweezer to twinge out the white blockage, should be. So pauline dun tear ur nipple skin hor. BTW try to sterilize the needle or tweezer with alcohol.. dun be like me so lazy, just use the breast milk and wipe hahah.
