Mastitis While Breast-Feeding-Home Treatment

You can safely continue breastfeeding your baby during illness and treatment. Regularly emptying the breast well by breastfeeding. Your baby is the most efficient pump you have for emptying your breasts. Before breastfeeding your baby, place a warm, wet washcloth over the affected breast for about 15 minutes, increases milk flow in the breast. Your breast milk is safe for your baby to drink, because any bacteria in your milk will be destroyed by the baby's digestive juices.

Massaging the affected breast may also increase milk flow in the breast. If starting with the affected breast is too painful, try feeding your baby with your healthy breast first. Then, after your milk is flowing, breastfeed from the affected breast until it feels soft.  Switch back to the healthy breast and breastfeed until your baby has finished.


Pump milk from the affected breast if pain prevents you from breastfeeding.
