If you got mastitis, when did you get it?

Question

I don’t have it yet(knock on wood)🙏🏻But am curious, as I’ve heard the most popular time frame of getting it is right around 6 weeks when you try and do too much because you’re feeling better. I’m 5 weeks PP today, so very curious about this!

Answer

Had a clogged duct when he was 2 wks yet, had mastitis when he was 2 wks & 6 days, by the time he was 3 wks - it had turned into an abscess (like a cyst in my boob) & had to get surgery to remove it. I'm no longer breastfeeding, that was the worst pain in my life and I lived with it for about 2 wks before they gave me surgery. They did the surgery right when he turned 4 wks.

Answer

I didn't get it with my first, and haven't so far with this baby (He's 8.5 weeks old). I'm really hoping I'm lucky and escape it again this time

Answer

I had a fever of 103 and I had the chills and my left boob hurt so bad.

Answer

You’ll definitely know if you have it 😭 felt like someone took a knife to my breast
