Mastitis: god's way of punishing smug breastfeeders
So, I have mastitis. It's horrible. Like having the flu coupled with a horribly sore boob. All last night I had horrible fever dreams about working on the docks with Frank Sobotka on The Wire.

Ready to rumble.

There must be something in the water here, because i got it last week too. I'm half way through 10 days of antibiotics though, and thankfully feeling a lot better. But it definitely sucks big time.
Hopefully it clears up for you quickly.

Ugh, Kristen, I'm so sorry. I haven't had mastitis yet, knock on wood, but I did have a blocked duct a little while ago that hurt like a biznitch. Then I hand expressed and a chunk of white gunk came out followed by a firehose of milk and everything was just fine.
YWIA for that story.

I swear, I was just about to write almost that exact same thing, then I came across your comment. Non-mastitis-but-gross-blocked-duct twinsies!

Cost.
One of the handful of reasons I keep going is mornings. It takes about half a second to get a boob in her mouth and fall back to sleep while she nurses at 5:30 am. I'm lazy and don't want to have to wake up enough to prepare a bottle.
