A new milestone?

Fever over 100.4? Check (100.9 before I took medicine to relieve it).
Flu-like symptoms? Check.
Tender painful breast and sore nipple? Check.
Probably cause, missed pumping/breastfeeding times? Check.

Can we spell mastitis, boys and girls?

UGH.

Oh no, poor Karen! I hope you recover quickly. Just a little assvice: remember to nurse/pump on that side often--it'll help relieve the pressure and pain.

Urgh. That cannot be good with three kidlets who need milk and cuddling, and an older kidlet who needs hugs.

I'm SO SORRY to hear it... I was staying w/my sister when she had her 2nd & got it at 3weeks old...
I know it must be REALLY painful... Hoping it clears up REALLY soon!

Hope you're seeing some relief...(or at least that you've got some antibiotics bringing you relief soon) Let us know how you're doing when you can.
