Help!!

My baby is 6 days old, I've been pumping since she doesn't latch at all and I noticed my left breast was pumping stringy milk. I googled it and it said it can be mastitis. Anyone else go through this?

Heat. Warm massage, to keep pushing it out. Keep pumping even tho it hurts. You just need to get it out, so keep trying to get it ALL out. Massage as you pump to push it out even tho it hurts. You should definitely see/call the doc as well. I've never had it but i hear it hurts really, really bad. these are the remedies. I hope you get better quick and hang in there.  Best of luck to you

Other: cabbage leaves
       ice NOT directly on skin

Thank you so much!! I'll definitely try this out. I tried getting a hold of my doctor and the clinic won't be open until September since they're moving to a new location :| hopefully it goes away soon.
Massage the breast as you pump. Hurts but once its out its ok. My little one would not latch well at first but did much betfer eith nipple cover things from boots or chemist and didnt hurt nipple as much. Xx

I had mastitis.  It was really painful is what I remember about it and I had a hard lump in my breast.  Do you have anything like that?

Yes it's more of a red blister on my nipple but my entire breast does hurt. What did you do to get rid of it?
