hey girls
well just very brief, I know I text you both to tell you the bad news that I now have mastitis!!!! Unbelievable, I surely have to catch a break soon!
I have been on ab's now since I got home and I soo just wanna get on with life and not be sick, this sucks. I am obviously a bit down about it, had a few tears but trying to stay positive and trying my best to feed thru it and hopefully come out he other side still feeding, I called the chn when I got home and she gave me a bit of counselling and tips over the phone.
I have to either feed OR express from the affected breast EVERY feed and just watch the other one very closely. Use hot and cold compresses on it and tomorrow I have to go have an ultrasound on it, so more trauma I dont need!
I hope it clears up fast, the last thing I wanna be doing is expressing after each feed but I have to, cos he is such an efficient feeder and getting full in 5-8 mins so he is not draining them properly most likely, The chn was shocked how quick he feeds and that he still put on weight so she said I must have ample milk.
Anyway wish me luck in getting this sorted....
