My supply didnt get fully established till 11 weeks so you still got time. I also take sunflower seed oil to prevent clogs and had to play with setting on the pump. Turns out i got nipples of steal and have to be on the highest settings. Also make sure you have the right size flanges and replace the duckbills and back-flow protector each month.
I hope that helps. And good luck. And if nothing works its okay. You are doing what you can and thats all that matters and formula never hurt anyone.
Get these https://www.amazon.com/LaVie-Lactation-Breastfeeding-Mastitis-Engorgement/dp/B07MZD5GVZ they help me out THE MOST and are so worth the spend.
For reference, I’m using them with my spectra S1, pumpables genie advance (with liquid kit flanges), and even my willow pump. They make a huge difference!
These have helped with my clogs. I use these abs then after a while let baby feed on that size and it’s helped. I’ve also used these during pumping to empty the clogged breast
I'm a newborn nanny who has supported many breastfeeding mothers. The Haakaa, water bottle, and these massagers are a few of the most used items I've seen.

here’s what I used!
I am blessed with over supply and once a week or once every two weeks I get a painful engorgement issue (not usually in the same side or even the same place, always kind of random). Maybe due to wearing too tight of a shirt or missing the exact timing of a pump or who knows.
Anyway I think these little guys really helped me - I use them whenever I have a problem and it gets worked out in one or two pumping sessions. Also feels nice.
Since ordering lactation massagers I’ve stopped getting clogged ducts and my pumping sessions are about 5 minutes quicker
To confirm, are these the pads you’re talking about? Anyone know of any sweet discount codes or if they’re available on Amazon? https://www.laviemom.com/products/warming-lactation-massage-pads

Best thing ever for getting milk moving! I had a clog, and this got it out! Might help prevent when she feels a clog forming
Sorry for the late response! I’m a very inconsistent Reddit user.

Are you still feeling clogged?
