Does this sound like mastitis?
My breast is covered in red streaks, it's warmer than the other breast,
sore as hell, and it hurts to the point of tears when I nurse. :*( What should I do? -- Lina Alena born July 1st, 2003 www.maternalinstinctscanada.com validate the email address before sending. |

It could be mastitis or a plugged duct that has turned into mastitis. Keep
nursing her on that side to unplug the duct, warm compresses and massage the breast if you can stand it. You probably should call the doctor and get on antibiotics. -- Sue (mom to three girls) I'm Just a Raggedy Ann in a Barbie Doll World... AlenasMom wrote in message ble.rogers.com...

I was going to call him as soon as he opens at 10. It really bloody hurts.
I scared DH by telling him not to touch my breast (he sleeps with his hand on it). He opened his eyes like saucer wide and asked if I was pregnant again! lmao! I love him....

Ooh I hope you feel better soon. Also, you can take some Tylenol or Motrin
for the pain. ((((gentle hugs))) ) -- Sue (mom to three girls) I'm Just a Raggedy Ann in a Barbie Doll World... AlenasMom wrote in message ble.rogers.com...

You'd be amazed how quickly you can get very ill, if the infection gets into the bloodstream. -- iphigenia www.tristyn.net "i have heard the mermaids singing, each to each. i do not think that they will sing to me." |

Yeah sounds like it I would be going to the doctor as soon as you can. It
can get pretty nasty very quickly in the meantime just keep feeding off the sore one as much as possible and massage the sore area towards the nipple, put warm packs on before feeding and cold after wards. I found a cabbage leaf in the freezer for 10 minuets and then put it into your bra works great. I know how you feel you poor thing had the same I was very unlucky and ended up in hospital with them having to operate. Hope this helps Good luck will be thinking of you Nat (Australia) "AlenasMom" wrote in message ble.rogers.com...
