Mastitis is an infection of the breast lactating women due to bacterial/microbial penetration through small wounds that can occur during breastfeeding of the infant.

Symptoms of breast's mastitis

In early stages of breast's mastitis, breast hardens and becomes red and the nipple sting/burn. If is not treated immediately, the breast blocks, hardens and become red due to infection that spreads to the channels through which the milk comes out. Thus, breast gets infected and turn into an abscess.

These cracks are treated with applications of chamomile's or marigold/calendula's tea bags which have been previously soaked in warm water to start infusing.

When the breast is only slightly inflamed and hardened, apply compresses with cold water or ice packs, which are meant to alleviate pain and to reduce inflammation. The excess of breast's milk stagnating in, must be smoothly hand milked but not with breast pump that can damage it, causing cracks.

If nipple disinfection is made with glycerin borax or boric acid you must consider cleaning the nipple very well before nursing your baby because your baby will refuse eating for it the taste.
