My Mastitis Experience

“Let’s Talk About Mastitis” If your breast ever feels hot, sore, and swollen, and you suddenly start feeling like you’ve caught the flu… it might not just be exhaustion, mama — it could be mastitis. Mastitis is inflammation of the breast tissue, usually caused by: 💧 A clogged milk duct that hasn’t been drained well 🦠 Or a bacterial infection that enters through a cracked or sore nipple It often starts with tenderness or hardness in one area of the breast — then suddenly, that pain intensifies. You might notice: Red, warm patches on your breast A lump that feels firm or swollen Burning pain while breastfeeding or pumping Chills, fatigue, or even a fever And mama, I know how scary that can feel — especially when you’re already tired, trying to keep up with feedings, and caring for your baby. 🤱🏽 Here’s what you can do to find relief (and still protect your milk supply): 💛 1. Keep breastfeeding or pumping — don’t stop! It actually helps clear the blockage and prevents things from getting worse. 💛 2. Apply warmth before feeding to help milk flow, and massage gently toward the nipple while nursing or pumping. 💛3. Rest and hydrate — your body needs time to recover just like any other infection. 💛 4. Use supportive, but not tight, bras. Avoid compression. 💛5. Watch your symptoms. If you develop a fever lasting more than 24 hours or severe pain that doesn’t ease up — reach out to your provider. You may need antibiotics to fully clear the infection. Remember: you didn’t do anything wrong. Mastitis can happen to any breastfeeding mom — even those doing everything “right.” Early care makes all the difference. You got this, mama. 💪🏾💖 Save this video and share it with a friend who’s breastfeeding — she might thank you later! #MastitisAwareness #BreastfeedingJourney #BreastfeedingEducation #fypシ #EducationalFriday #BreastfeedingSupport #PostpartumCare #BlackBreastfeedingMoms #MotherhoodSupport #blkeducationalfridays
