So it's officially first day of drying up :( doctor is making me and I'm extremely depressed over…

Why is your doctor making you?

@kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom, 4th time getting mastitis and my baby is only 6 weeks old...been on antibiotics for 4 weeks now...starting to get knots that might have puss in it...just starting to get dangerous for me :(

I'm so sorry. 😞

I'm not a doctor but I don't agree with your doctor's decision to stop you from breastfeeding. I found this article. Maybe you can read it and then get a second opinion? Because I feel like stopping would make it worse. http://www.uofmhealth.org/health-library/hw98039#hw98106

@kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom, no I trust her opinion....drying up is the best option...they've forced drained me before, I tried everything with mastitis, the knots being puss filled I have to get drained :( it's just a big mess...I've literally done everything and nothing is working she said some few select women produce milk but get infections easily and can't get rid of it unless you stop breast feeding...and there is only one antibiotic that'll possibly work and I'm allergic to it :( so it's been an extremely rough 4 weeks!!

I'm sorry momma. =\ I hope things get better!

@kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom, thanks! Just need the pain to go away! I thought labor was painful this is horrible!! With both breast being infected and trying to dry up its like the worse pain ever right now!

I've heard keeping cabbage at your chest could help.

@kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom, my mom told me that today! Tomorrow I'm going to try it! Hopefully it'll be true lol

Sage tea, peppermint tea also helps!!
