DS is nearly 5 months and exclusively BF. The whole thing has been really easy, he's a very relaxed and efficient nurser.
However, 3 weeks ago I got a really bad case of mastitis. I was knocked out in bed for 3 days before the antibiotics started working. And today my breast is very sensitive and I am feeling under the weather.
Luckily nursing doesn't hurt when I get it but looking after a toddler and a baby isn't exactly easy. Are there any tips to avoid mastitis or is it just pot luck?
