With my first child, I had no idea what it was except I knew I went from fine to dying in 2 hours. It was so bad that my entire breast peeled off like it had been burned (which I guess it was - from the inside out). I lasted 3 mths with each of my 2 kids but had mastitis 4x each. My Dr said enough.
I did a lot of pumping to get through it, for some reason pumping hurt less than when she was nursing. I don’t know if it is actually true, but I was told the more milk I could express, by any means, the faster I would recover. Good luck!
yeah, the guidance has changed apparently in like the last two years and they now say not to pump/feed more than normal, but yeah I’m also finding expressing to be less painful than direct!
My youngest child is 25 years old, so I figured that they might have changed things. I still remember how much the mastitis I had one time hurt! I hope you are feeling better soon! Gentle hugs!
All whilst trying to care for a small person (or two). Vivid memories of sobbing in the shower because the antibiotics also made me vomit.
Sending all the good wishes
