14 week old DS2 has today refused to BF and I'm beginning to worry.
Had a little trouble last Wed/Thurs with engorgement in left breast which made BF EXTREMELY painful. Got through it with lots of feeding but sought medical advice on Thurs when I developed a bit of a fever. Was prescribed Flucloxacillin just in case it was turning into mastitis.
Feeding is still painful but not nearly as bad as last week.
DS2 refused to feed earlier today so I gave him the EBM I expressed while he was asleep (v hard going, managed to get 1.5 fl oz in an hour, but not even attempted to express before today).
After a long sleep he had a short feed from right breast but refuses to feed any more and goes ballistic if I put him anywhere near the breast, screams until he is exhausted then goes to sleep.
Could the anti-biotics have an effect on the taste of the milk or possibly the volume?
What should I do now? Hardly fed today, should I express some more?
