XP: Running and Mastitis

ceelee4

Hello all,

 I am ready to start running again.  Since it's been a while I'll have to start with a run walk program.  I'm nervous though about mastitis.  I'm breastfeeding my 6 month old and I don't want to cause problems.  Running can wait.  Am I worried for nothing?  Any advice or experience?

Thanks!

I started running 5 weeks pp while I was exclusively breastfeeding.  I breastfed for over a year while running and training (I did several short races and a half marathon while I was breastfeeding) and I never had any problems.  I would try to nurse or pump before my runs.
