Ladies!!! T‼ M‼ I‼ 😱I have mastitis, can I still feel baby?? It's really hot to touch! I hate this…

I think you can.... are you on meds tho? your supposed to be on some if you get it

it's important to keep nursing, they say it's okay for the baby because the bacteria dies easily. but if you dont feel safe you have to at least pump as much as before if not more to get everything out. Putting heat on them before nursing should make it easier and will speed up the healing process.

Okay! No @mdomke22 I'm not on anything! It just showed up... And thank you @mommapint I hope it goes away.. I have a fever😭

Don't stop nursing, make sure you completely empty that breast every time. It's going to be sore until the antibiotics kick in. Just keep nursing and sometimes messaging it gently in a hot shower can help relieve pain.

Do I have to go into the doctor?? @klachappelle

if you have a fever you really need to be seen like asap hun.

@maddieg4648, Yes, I would call your OB and tell them your symptoms. They should prescribe you with an antibiotic if it's mastitis.

Ugh!! I hate the doctor! Okay thank you ladies!! Does anyone know what kind of antibiotics. Will the be okay for breastfeeding?? @mdomke22 @klachappelle @mommapint

it will be perfectly okay for breastfeeding although i cannot tell you which kind they'll prescribe.

@maddieg4648, Yes, they will give you one that is safe for nursing.

your doctor will know what to prescribe you that is safe for breastfeeding. just make sure you let them know that you a breastfeeding just to make sure.
