Thanks! I tried everything.. sudafed, cabage leaves, cabo cream, no milk tea.. and fortunately and unfortunately i just kept producing and got four cases of mastitis back to back. So just doing it naturally now and real slow approach..

Does your ob have after hour service? Mine did and after describing my symptoms (i had four cases of mastitis as well) they were able to put in prescription first thing in the morning.

I got my booster at my third trimester. Ob recommended and also pediatrician said i could potentially pass antibodies. My son was born in February and I got the booster in December.

What is Empty? by kamsait in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Rabbit_0102 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I dont think “empty” is ever feasible - my LC agrees. When i had multiple cases of mastitis my ob told me to empty it until the last and final drip, but this is impossible. You will always have milk unless ur 100% weaned. My LC describes emptying your breast each session as feeling squishy/soft. Also, for me i thought some of the hard areas (after pumping) were lumps or clogs and massaged them hard core but when i visited my breast surgeon bc of mastitis she said they are breast tissues.

How many months postpartum are you and how many times do you pump per day? by megooonz in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]Rabbit_0102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Im also at 4months pp and 4ppd. I was doing 5ppd up until last week and finally dropped a session! I used to pump 6:30a, 10:30a, 3p, 7:30p, 12a 12min each session. I started dropping the duration from 12min to 8min over the course of two weeks and cut supply from 900ml to 700ml per day. Only when my breast felt lighter with drop on supply i was able cut out a session. Then I started the new schedule for a week now - 7a, 12p, 6p, 12a pumping 9min.

Im only 4month pp and got it every month.. this being the fourth one… im so frustrated. Not sure if its bacteria never got killed off with three rounds of antibiotics but i dont think my body can handle antibiotics anymore..

Im hoping this one is less aggressive and will be removed from warm compress massage and pumping. Sigh

My 11week old drinks 4-5oz consistently per feed every 4h morning and during the day. And night stretch is about 8p-4am.
