A member asked:
Hi there, i am breastfeeding and my right breast keeps getting blocked. this is the 4th time its blocked and ive been on 2 courses of antibiotics.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Continue: breastfeeding, apply heat packs to breast, pump or feed baby every 2 hours during day, when having blockage issues. If increased pain/fever, antibiotic is needed. Continue to breast feed even when on antibiotics. Breastfeeding is worth the effort.
