mastitis?

I just noticed I have red streaking on my breast. I have no plugged ducts. My nipple started hurting yesterday, I figured we had a bad latch and it was sore from that. But I've also been really tired the last 2 days, having a headache today and feeling kind of achy tonight. Could I have it with no plugged duct?

Re: mastitis?

  • Huh. I didn't think so but that sure sounds like it.

  • I noticed one side of it started hurting if I put pressure on it or push on it. I think it must be really deep.

  • That's exactly how mine go. Only once have I actually felt the plug. I hope lots of nursing or pumping clears it up soon for you, even though it hurts like hell doing it. It's miserable when it gets to feeling like the flu.
  • Update @Amores0121?  Did you call your doc?

  • I actually had an appt today with my midwife. They were surprised there were no hard spots but said that's what it looked like. My boob has started hurting a bit but it doesn't hurt to feed thankfully. I felt like total shit this am but am feeling a bit better now. She didn't give me any instructions on what to do other than tho take the meds. She's kind of spacey.
    I just picked up my meds and tried some dangle nursing, though I dint know if I did it right.
    What do I do about night feeding? His first stretch is usually 5 hours. What about the other breast?

  • If it is mastitis or the early start of get that baby up to nurse midway through the 5hr stretch or get out your pump. I battled mastitis for a couple weeks and went through two rounds of antibiotics plus nursing or pumping every two hours round the clock. Trust me, you don't want it to get to that point. Take precaution now.

  • Yeah. You definitely need to pump if it's a five hour sleep stretch. I never had mastitis but a plugged duct and I kept a heating pad on my boob, dangle pumped and stuck my boob in a sink of really hot water.

  • How long do I need to pump or nurse every ,2 hours? A couple days? The mw said I should feel better in a few days. It's kind of hard to tell if it's better when I don't have the plugged duct to go off.

  • I'm not sure. A clogged duct could be clear after just a few hours

    With mastitis I would imagine it would take several days? How about probiotics for you and baby to keep yeast away?

  • I pumped every two hours with mastitis for three days then stretched to three hours then four. Antibiotics will make you feel better within 24hrs too. I don't believe mastitis will clear up without antibiotics, but not 100% sure.

    I was worried about this too. I went to the health food store and the lady said the antibiotics will just kill the probiotics off do she gave me something that prevents overgrowth of yeast and told me to go heavily into probiotics when I'm done with the meds. But I would like to give baby probiotics directly. DD has some but it saysfor 3 months and older so I'm not sure if I should give it to the baby or not...

    I may have found the duct, I'm not sure.
    The area that was sore I've been feeling around and massaging and I feel a small lump, it's very hard to find. That's the only thing I think it could be if I have one.

  • I was always told that as long as you space out the antibiotics and the probiotics by an hour or so, it's fine.  I hope you feel better soon.

  • Thanks@TJ1979 I'm basically super exhausted today but the flu symptoms have subsided.
    @Mapleme‌ do you think it's enough for me to take the probiotics or should I give them to the baby directly?
