She recently revealed how she was in so much pain breastfeeding her newborn daughter Aurelia that she was left in tears. 

And Millie Mackintosh has continued to document her struggle with mastitis as she took to her Instagram account on Wednesday with another update.   

The Made In Chelsea star, 32, attempted to soothe her boobs by placing frozen peas over her nipples - a common remedy due to the vegetable's anti-inflammatory properties.

The frozen vegetable is used as a popular at-home treatment for breastfeeding issues, with midwives and lactation consultants recommending the remedy for decades. 

Millie gave birth to her second daughter ten weeks ago with husband Hugo Taylor. 


The TV personality has been very open and honest detailing her struggles with mastitis - an inflammation of breast tissue common when breastfeeding.

Earlier this week, the influencer gave an update on her condition to her 1.4million followers, revealing how breastfeeding was 'making her cry in pain'.

The TV star also said she feels there is a 'lot of pressure put on mums to just keep going' even if they run into difficulties.

She revealed in her long and candid post that she was now on antibiotics for the condition and had been to the physio who helped break down the blockage.

She penned: 'If you've seen any of my recent stories then you will know breastfeeding has been a little tricky for me recently. My milk supply suddenly slowed down, one boob stopped refilling between feeds and the other developed a blocked duct which got infected and turned into mastitis.

'Thank you for all the kind messages with your tips and advice. I've heard just about everything from using a vibrator or electric toothbrush to break down the blockage and getting your other half to suck it out (safe to say, Hugo wasn't up for that!).

'A lot of you also said to have a hot shower or bath and to massage the area, to put savoy cabbage leaves from the fridge inside my bra, (I find frozen peas really help) epsom salts with hot water in a haakaa pump and even dangle feeding the baby on all fours!'
