I would talk to your doctor.
I will anyone else input please
Talk to your doctor! Sounds like mastitis which you need an antibiotic for!
I got mastitis and I was only producing like 1oz instead of 4-5. Definitely talk to your doctor asap
Will call now my right breast is red now too
Definitely sounds like mastitis.
Yup mastitis any suggestions what to do ... Dr cant prescribe me anything until im seen in the office... My appt is at 230 tomorrow!
I got mastitis too And its very painful. A lactation consultant told me to use warm compresses and to try pumping in another position. Like lean forward and pump. She said it might help to change the position your breast can be helpful. Good luck! I hope you feel better soon!
Try getting into shower and let hot water run over them while massaging them. Idk if ur breastfeeding, if u are then dont do this but if Not then put some cold cabbage leaves in ur bra, it will help reduce inflammation and help dry the milk up.
Im pumping so i really dont wanna dry my milk up ... Are the antibiotics my dr is going to give me safe to still breastfeed my son or no? I dont wanna risk losing my milk supply
Yes they are safe. I had mastitis with my first and breastfed while taking them. Baby was fine after i got done with antibiotics.
Warm compression, showers and continuous pumping to keep the pain down! The antibiotics are perfectly fine (: much better than letting it go untreated!
Yes I'm pumping every 3hours for about 10 minutes that's the most i can tolerate does that sound about right
If your not breastfeeding directly from the breast, I'd reccommend every 2 hours but I'm sure 3 hours isn't bad either! I just lost my milk supply with mastitis and had to quit breastfeeding
I'm sorry you lost hope supply, thays 5what i am fearful of. It already broke my heart when he wouldn't latch anymore because the address hospital
Stupid* hospital have him a pacifier resulting in nipple confusion
Thanks for all the help ladies dr gave me antibiotic today for mastitis
