I had it 3 times in the first 4 months. and clogged ducts every 2 weeks up through month 5. I started taking Lecithin granuals a month ago and havn't had an issue since. this was at the suggestion of my LC, she figured i may have an issue where my milk solids solidified too much if i went longer than 5 hours between pumps

This times a million. I had mastitis 5 times in the first four months and got thrush on my nipples after each bout for a full blow misery fest and as soon as I started taking lechithin it all stopped. I haven't had it since. *knock wood* I hope you both start feeling better soon!

Well, at least you know you're not lacking in the production area, right?
Feel better, BB! Go massage your boobs in the hot shower! (Oh, p.s., the best thing I ever friggin did when I had mastitis was take one of S' diapers, soak it in hot water and put it in my bra. AMAZING. It stays warm SO long.)

I do like to obsess about supply.
Last time, my supply dropped nothing. I went from pumping eight ounces to less than one. This time I was smart enough to call sooner than later. I still want to die but it isn't nearly as bad as last time. Last time I was begging my cat to kill me and she was all, "No, Dude. That guy you live with never remembers to feed me."
This time, I'm like, "You know, if you have a minute, it would be nice if you put me out of my misery."
Oh no! That sucks!!! I also recommend lecithin. My friend who used to get mastitis swears by it. No more mastitis after she started taking it daily. Hope it passes quickly!!

I bet! It's in the exact same spot as last time. What was it doing? Hibernating? And it's waking up now that spring is on the way?
Hey Mastitis! Eff you!
For seriously, why do they hate us?
