If you don’t already, take sunflower lecithin twice a day. I’ve done so since getting mastitis and never had an issue again. Also, fenugreek apparently can cause mastitis. Had no idea until it happened to be, so use caution if using that!
I would make sure you have or get an antibiotic to help get rid of it! Make sure you still feed/pump even if it may hurt!
Yeah you need to keep feeding. Lechitin
I also had mastitis when the baby was 1 month old, got antibiotics. Didn’t have a milk on this side, but tried to feed the baby and pump. Now is all good! Milk comes from this side as usual. Everything will be good. Just need time to heal!
If you’re pumping and breastfeeding don’t skip that middle of the night pump and first thing in the AM!
Get antibiotics as soon as possible! Got it real bad a couple months ago (fever, body aches, chills, nausea) and the antibiotics had me feeling better within the first day of taking them. Just make sure you finish all the pills they give you even if you feel better so that it fully clears the infection.
keep feeding on that side as much as possible
