Hello, have been diagnosed with mastitis after I came down with a fever and chills at the weekend Had been having engorgement and pain in breast and headaches for a few days before...
Am now on antibiotics and am supposed to carry on bf. Problem is that dd is refusing to feed from the left breast, which is the infected one. She has been for a while (maybe 5 days or so), so I don't know whether this has caused the mastitis or whether she is refusing is as a result of the mastitis. Anyone had any experience of this and can suggest something? I'm just going to have to express the left breast as much as I can but obviously don't want this to continue.
