Second bout of mastitis -- what can I do about this?
DS will be five weeks old on Friday. I had one bout of mastitis,
beginning when he was 9 days old. I had a second bout (different breast) beginning this past Saturday, when he was 29 days old. First, since it's a different breast this time, am I safe to assume this is an entirely different infection, or could it be the same one? I was on an antibiotic for 10 days with the first instance. Second, what can I do to prevent this, other than making sure his latch is good and my breasts are drained? I never had mastitis with DD, but now I've had two instances, both with pretty significant fevers/chills, and this one with really quite severe pain, and a much, much bigger, more pronounced, and harder red area. I'm also experiencing a slower recovery. Thanks for the help. -Carlye DS 6-2-06 DD 9-29-04 |
