If you start feeling unwell, with a fever, then it could be mastitis which is a nasty infection that will require medical attention. It could be a blocked milk duct or perhaps your baby isn't completely emptying the breast for some reason and you're getting a bit of engorgement. Keep an eye on it.

I know it hurts but you need to try to have landon empty your breast. I got mastitis and the doctor told me that I need to keep nursing her eventhough it hurts...It was awful. Try to feed him off that side and make sure that he empty's the breast.

Yup exactly what .Gen said.
Mastitis usually occurs in breastfeeding women when the baby doesn't fully empty the breast, this leads to the ducts blocking and then mastitis.

The quickest cure is to either get baby to feed that side and fully empty that breast or to pump.

As an example when breast feeding get baby to fully feed from one side (say left) then move to the other side (right) until baby is full, then on the next feed start from that side again (right) until the breast is emtpied then move back to the other (left). This ensures each breat is emptied regularly.

Some women find putting a safety pin on their bra strap of the last boob fed from (and so first next feed) helps them to remember which side to start on.

Thanks ladies. Ya it doesnt hurt when he nurses just to touch etc. So I will definatly keep him nursing like crazy and pump if I think its still not empty thanks so much!

This is going to sounds weird, but I swear I saw it on tv and people actually do it...I'm not sure if it would help in your situation or not, but on this baby story type show (i can't remember the name) this woman was breast feeding and her nipples got reaallly sore, and she put crushed up cabbage in her bra and on her nipples. It sounds super weird, I know, but apparently it works.

Lol ya I heard that too hehe. But its not my nipples,they're fine, its like the actual boob. Thanks tho!

If it is mastitis, you should call your doctor and tell him/her you suspect that you have mastitis. I got mastitis with my son and it was terrible! My fever was over 104, and the pain was unbearable. If left untreated it can get bad.

Whatever you do, don't quit nursing! It won't harm the baby, since it is only a tissue infection. But it will get worse if you don't nurse. I know, it is a pain though, huh?

A call to the doctor never hurts.

Good luck!

Oh, and drink tons of water.

Also: cabbage leaves are for engorgement. If you have sore nipples use lasinoh.
