Mastitis: You may have an infection in the milk ducts of your breast. These can often be relieved by what you are doing already which is to allow the babies to breast feed and pumping out the remainder. However, if it is getting worse already and not better then you need antibiotics and should see a doctor right away. It wont harm the baby to feed off the infected breast.
