Mastitis

Hi,

Yesterday my left boob started throbbing really suddenly. I just thought my daughter who is 7 months needed feeding so fed her but pain didn't subside. I went to bed and woke up this morning it's agony. My left nipple is bright red and so so painful. I can't care the thought of feeding her with that boob. I rang doctors who said they think mastitis and have prescribed antibiotics. What can I do to help with the pain whilst feeding her? Obviously don't want milk to dry up. I'm exhausted and my legs are aching. Is this normal?

Hope the antibiotics are beginning to work @coco111 Flowers

Have you read Kellymom's information on mastitis?
