Mastitis second time in 6 weeks

K

Baby is 6 weeks old and I have mastitis for the second time. I have been pumping and supplementing with formula, but the pumping just doesn’t seem to be working out anymore. The high fever, body fatigue, chills painful sore breast where I can’t hold the baby, lump I can’t get rid of after trying every possible thing I’ve read to do. I can’t do this again. I can barely find the time to pump anymore with my husband working. Has anyone transitioned to EFF and if so how did you do it / was it gradual / was it very painful/ and are you feeling healthier overall after? It’s definitely affecting my mental health and making me so depressed getting sick like this.
