Advice needed mumsnetters.
My boy is almost 14 months and since he turned one & slept through the night and fed less I've had mastitis twice. He generally just feeds morning and night. The second time I got mastitis I couldn't really work out why as I hadn't skipped a feed or feed less off one side. Anyway I'm back to work and have a 4 year old too. The second bout of mastitis has really made me want to end the bf journey as I don't want to go through it again and end up on more antibiotics.
Does anyone have any similar experience or tips. Just not sure how to end breastfeeding as don't want to go cold turkey. Do I drop the morning or evening feed and a few weeks later drop the other? And what do I do if my breasts feel full? Leave them? Cold compress? Or express a bit. Just have no idea.
For information, my little boy drinks cows milk, water and eats well so I'm not worried about that side of things.
Thank you in advance for anything you might be able to contribute that will help!
