5 days PP mastitis?

Question

So I’m exclusively pumping, I’m producing so much breast milk but my boobs are HARD as rocks and have huge lumps in both boobs. I’m concerned that I’ve developed mastitis. My boobs do soften up after I pump but they always kill.

Answer

No unless you’re having flu like symptoms then it’s not mastitis. You just have clogged milk ducts. Just make sure you’re pumping every 2-3 hours and massage your breasts when feeding.

Answer

Get a hot washcloth and put it on your boobs then message them then pump. This happened to me and lasted a couple days but a message is the best thing! I also took a hot shower and let the hot water run over my boobs then pumped after the shower. Oh the relief!!!

Answer

Try to do warm compress before pumping and then cool compress after. Mine were the same way!

Answer

Take sunflower lethicin to make your milk more “slippery” will prevent clogged ducts!

Answer

I got mastitis 6 days postpartum and I had a 103 fever, body aches, extreme fatigue, my breasts looked super inflamed and red and hot to the touch.
