I really feel for you poor mummies with babies that have colds! It must be so hard to get any rest x
My MW came back again this morning and called the doctor out for me as the mastitis is worse and I feel dreadful. My wonderful OH took over care of Blake and let me sleep all night last night. The doctor took one look at my huge red breast and prescribed antibiotics. I'm still trying to express the excess milk, but I'm barely getting 1/2 an oz from it each time
Blake is being an angel, it's almost as if he knows mummy is poorly

There is something definatly not right with me, I'm freezing, but yet I'm too hot and I'm literally dripping with sweat despite ditching my pjs to see if that made a difference! Plus I still have this headache, and apart from expressing I've been in bed since 8pm ish so not really as tired as I was!
I hate feeling poorly, and it's making me feel like a bad mummy cos all I wanna do is get in bed and not move!

Keep expressing to get the infectipn out, it will help. I had it and its awful so totally sympathise! Also try expressing any milk left after LO feeds to make sure theres not left which can cause infection.
I found a hot wet flannel helped to soothe the soreness and redness and encourage milk flow, as well as hot showers or baths. Using a wide tooth comb.to brush down your boobs can help so can cabbage leaves and massage. Plenty of painkillers too.
Also try not.to use breastpads that are waterproof.or have a waterproof layer iykwim, as these can cause excess moisture which can make it worse. Lansinoh healed my boobs fairly quickly and they had huge raw holes.and patches. And its safe to apply before.feeding without having to wipe or wash it off. Underwired.bras can make it worse.too.
Drink plenty of water to flush the infection. Once the antibiotics kick in it usually clears fairly quickly.
I honestly feel your pain. I woke up one mornong feeling like id been hit by a bus!!
Hope this helps xxx

You're so right about feeling like you've been hit by a bus! Fingers crossed I feel a little better this morning and have managed to express some more from the poorly boob. The redness seems to be going down, but I still feel very drained. I've got the MW due out again any time soon, so she'll do my obs and see if I'm improving.
Sassy- That is how my mastitis started, the hot and cold attacks- I hope you're ok xxx
