Anyone ever had mastitis that hurt all the way up to your collarbone and after pumping you have…

Take a pain reliever if you need it. Stay in bed topless with baby, rest and keep nursing. You can use heat before feeding then try cool compress after. Massaging the blockage will help too. Keep plenty of water or tea by your bed. How long have you had it?

@kambam two days. I have to pump because the baby can't have the milk due to a med they ate making me take. It hurts so bad after I pump though. Is that normal? I'll have to try the cold packs I've only been doing warm.

Yes its gonna hurt no matter what. What med are they giving you? Can you stop it? Baby nursing will be so much quicker.

@kambam I wish. It's a med to treat postpartum anxiety. Without it I just cry and panic. I was trying to wean off the pump since I can't use my milk and ended up with mastitis. I'm so sad I can't feed him.

That is a crappy situation. Dunno. I'd find a different med because there's lots or double check to make sure its compatible because most doctors don't even know. I'm sure it will go away with pumping I just think it will take longer.
