Seriously...baby boy nearly 3 months old. Breast fed, latches well, feeds well. Since getting rid of colic he’s very still on the boob.
But this is the 4th time mastitis has taken over, boobs don’t hurt but go red, hard and the fever is a nightmare, the last time I was bed bound for days with a temp of 41! I’ve had antibiotics for every time which has treated it. But I hate the idea of taking them time and time again.
I pumped for the first time this week with a hand pump (sterilised it before) used it correctly was very comfortable didn’t over do it. That’s the only change, but I don’t know why I keep getting it. I’ve had enough. The first time was a when he was first born and my boobs were engorged. Second time no idea why but was the worst time! Third time didn’t really manifest and this time I’m only an hour in so don’t know where this is going to go. Anyone got any ideas or pro tips? I really dont want to give up or go onto formula.
