3 days ago I developed mastitis. I was bf feeding up until then but have now gone cold turkey. DS is 3 weeks old.
I need some non judgmental, practical advice.
My fever has gone and am on antibiotics. My mastitis boob is still red and engorged. What do I do? I've had lots of baths and have been hand expressing, will it go away like this?
I've looked on dr. Google but all it says is to keep breastfeeding on it. I can't do this, I've had enough and this has been the straw that broke the camels back. If I pump won't this mean the milk will come back and I'm back to square one.
Has anyone gone cold turkey with mastitis? Please don't tell me to power on through and breastfeed. I am in agony.
