Oh, Owie! I’ve been there too. Probably not what you wish you were tackling.

Cat barf in the laundry room finally spurred me into action. Quality blogging, for sure.

I just wanted to leave a note. I definitely have compassion for you. I got this with both girls and does it HURT! Glad you are feeling better and here is to no more mastitis!

I would so go straight to the doctor for anything and everything they could give me, but I thought maybe something in this link might help you even further. http://www.kellymom.com/herbal/natural-treatments.html#mastitis

I’ve also heard numerous times applying a raw potato with the whitish inside to your nipple can unplug clogged ducts. Not sure if this is true, but maybe something to file away for future issues.

Hang in there. Yeouch!

I’m so glad you are getting better. Mastitis is awful! I’ll never forget how terrible I felt when I had it. Take care of yourself and your sweet baby.

Ooh, I feel for you. I got mastitis whenever either of my two decreased their nursing. I agree that the hot bath and massage, plus lots of bed rest, helped the most. Take care of yourself and get some rest. It’s not fun at all.

My first experience with mastitis was with our second son. I hadn’t had even a hint of it with our first, so when I went from feeling fine to feeling exactly as you described within 2 short hours I had absolutely no clue what was going on!

Your description of “even my skin hurt” is so true – ugh!!!! I’m thinking of you and pray you have a quick recovery!

Blessings, Shera

I certainly hope you are feeling much better. I breast fed all four of my children. I know how agonizing it can be. Really enjoyed visiting your blog this morning.
