I've been told by doctor to give up breastfeeding immediately as I have had 5th attack of mastitis in 10 weeks and am showing very high levels of infection. I've done 3 days without feeding now but have pumped a bit over these 3 days (longer and longer gaps and pumping less each time), however have not pumped in last 24 hours and breasts are now feeling quite sore and lumpy. I don't know whether to pump a little or just wait it out until breasts feel better. Does anyone else have any experience of stopping breastfeeding suddenly. Will the breasts empty themselves and how long will it take?
