Oh great, mastitis

[Fuschia]

I usually express before bed to prOvide milk for the freezer for work days

Didn't feel well last night and got an early night instead and my reward this morning is - familiar fluey feeling of mastitis

Bloody great

Let's hope lots of expressing and feeding plus some paracetemol will see it off.

[Helen GV]

Hope so!

[Fuschia]

Have expressed 12oz and now feeding madly

It's just typical that one early night (Nd I think I might have slept through some of baby's mutterings as wasn't well) ends up being punished

[2Loulou]

Hot showers are soothing too, for me it wrks as the excess milk comes out just by pressing the breast

hope you get better quickly

[Fuschia]

Feeling quite fluey still

Great :-(

Baby is stuffed to the gunnels with milk already.. think more pumping is on the agenda

[bluesuperted]

Poor you!! Hope the aches and pains ease soon.

I seem to be able to calm one side but then the other gets all uncomfy again. Where are twins when you need them, eh!!

Have you seen those little pocket hotpacks you can get for camping etc to keep your fingers warm? Try wraping one in tissue and tucking it in your bra. Alternatively, soak a face cloth in hot water, seal in a plastic zipper bag and tuck in bra. Hope you're feeling better soon. xx

F, do we need to lend you a superhungry baby?!? Poor you, hope it gets better soon.

[Fuschia]

Seems to be getting better now

Thank goodness
