Sorry Im late, Ive being away.<br />I'm glad the infection is feeling better, having had a lot of different infections thruout my breastfeeding career I would echo the advise of the other ladies, and especailly massaging the area during a warm shower relieves blockages which help the infection to pass thru. Hot packs/washcloths on the area whilst feeding and cold packs on the area when not feeding. LOTS of garlic and vit c and probiotics. Hope it clears up well!!<br />Luv Donnasinging mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07890663252462267423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6786280061518823480.post-74246162759048423542011-08-19T18:38:56.305-04:002011-08-19T18:38:56.305-04:00Thanks for all your advice, ladies.

Step up the above routine. Do step 2-3 every half hour for 3 hrs.<br />:Always nurse the baby. The breast must stay empty even if nursing is painful.<br />:Rub the area with a bit of peppermint oil diluted in olive oil.<br />I do hope you'll be feeling better SOON!Spatzlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10613169520329614841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6786280061518823480.post-60558393662529714212011-08-18T18:17:58.075-04:002011-08-18T18:17:58.075-04:00Cabbage definitely helped me too Heidi.

I had recurring mastitis and would position the baby's chin right on the spot that was lumpy. <br />Hey HAPPY BIRTHDAY for tomorrow!<br />Hope you get some rest and that this infection or whatever it is goes away quickly for you.<br />Much love,<br />Lus xlusihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13741397873957723386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6786280061518823480.post-87808223184732037792011-08-18T18:11:13.027-04:002011-08-18T18:11:13.027-04:00Thanks, I have been trying to rest, at least hangi...Thanks, I have been trying to rest, at least hanging out in the recliner a lot. The peaches aren't here yet, but knowing the call could come at any time is a bit frustrating. Off to take some garlic. At least I haven't gotten any worse, and no fever.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16794576350979406239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6786280061518823480.post-78425870063069060112011-08-18T17:27:52.162-04:002011-08-18T17:27:52.162-04:00I would add garlic to what your taking, Fill up a ...I would add garlic to what your taking, Fill up a bottle with water and take the baby to bed. Basically rest lots, drink lots and feed baby on that side lots. Usually avoided a full blown infection for me when i did that.<br />I would say it's the beginning of one.<br />Can you have your DH and children help with the peaches so you can rest?Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11273955513712970008noreply@blogger.com
