@emaleejoy, we thought we caught mine early enough and they gave me antibiotics. Then out of no where the bottom half of my boob swelled completely up and over the top half😭😭😭😫😫

Awh/: I'm sorry @shentges1991. I keep getting mastitis so I'm just about done breastfeeding, lol

@emaleejoy, I can't breastfeed because with my first child I did get mastitis and it was so severe I had to have surgery and wear a drain tube through my boob for 8 weeks 😭😭 then when they took it out they had to burn the incisions shut and due to the placement of the drain tube my scar tissue is in the way.

Cabbage makes your milk dry up

What does cabbage do?

I quit this week. I froze the cabbage leaves I don't know if it dried anything up but the cold felt amazing. I wore them until they wilted and put them in for 2 days. I notice the pain difference by the next day. I also took 3 ibrofeins every could of hours. I was told that helps with pain. I think I am not leaking anymore but I am afraid to take off my bra and pads. FYI: I leaked like crazy I wore a sports bra and stuffed with socks. Good luck!

If you're breastfeeding and emptying them and they still hurt I'd go in... It probably mastitis /: if you feel any sign of feeling sick or feverish definitely go in and check for redness in the areas they hurt!
