Anyone familiar with mastitis??

I'm on dicloxacillan and I had those symptoms pre-antibiotics

Agree with the above but DONT feed as much as possible - you want to fully drain your breast once then resume as usual - if you feed and pump more than normal this will increase your supply which is not something you want to do at the moment

midwives disagree with you. The more milk you move, the more it'll flush out the clog that caused the mastitis. We can always regulate the supply later. Priority is to cure the infection.

Respectively disagree and my mum is a lactation consultant and a midwife

lol I massaged so much I have carpel tunnel

Thank you ladies, I don’t feel any clogs though my boobs and body are extremely achy would I still keep trying to drain??

yes, continue draining.

If you have a haakaa try the warm water in it to make 100% sure you're right

I went to a dr I know I have it I’m just miserable 😞 okay I’ll keep draining
