Mastitis...Need Answers
by NurseJope, Jan 12, 2008 11:38PM
Please give me some answers!! I am 3 weeks post-partum and have developed mastitis. I started on an antibiotic yesterday. Everything I've read on the internet about mastitis talks about feeding or pumping quite often to keep the milk in the infected breast flowing, which healps with the healing. I pump. Everytime I've pumped today, the milk from the infected breast has been decreasing. I started taking a hot bath right before pumping to increase milk flow and that's not even helping. At my last pumping I got out maybe 1-2 cc's. What exactly does this mean? If there is no milk flow does that mean it's a higher chance that there's an abscess?? The breast is just staying red all around and hard (not to mention VERY painful). Thank you for any responses!
