[ozmidwifery] Mastitis

[Sheena Johnson]

Any of the lactation consultants out there give me some advise on feeding on the affected breast if the woman has mastitis. Ruby's mum has just got  mastitis after Ruby slept through for 5 hours. Just to make life really miserable Ruby has had bronchitis and is also on antibiotics.   The doctor advised Lynley not to feed off the affected side but to express, I thought the thing to do was to keep on feeding?   Sheena Johnson
