Are you a new mum with painful, sore, nipples that feel like a needle is stabbing? If so you may be suffering from the all too common mastitis. An inflammation of the breast nipple and tissue.
It's definitely not fun to experience and can even bring on serious illness if the infection spreads or you have a severe form of it so see your doctor stat! (one mother literally today, Oct 16th, was in hospital for days on an IV drip for this. Then came in for additional antibiotics. It's a tough condition to beat)
It's estimated 30% of women by week 6 postpartum will experience a sub-acute or acute form of mastitis. This % increases with mothers who've been on antibiotics for GBS+ (Group B Strep Infection) or C-section "Caesar" mothers.
Now don't feel bad about yourself if you're going through this, it's not a reflection on you or of you. Many others have been through this and pulled through. I'm hoping to bring some value to your time today by sharing what I learned. Mastitis happens when there is a stasis (lack of movement) of milk, a blocked duct, or an overgrowth of bacteria, or unfortunately sometimes your baby isn't latching on quite well to suckle out enough milk (Professional help available at Tresilian and Karitane for mothers in Sydney, Australia)
Finally if you're on the fence about the benefits of probiotics and whether that course of antibiotics given during your labor or C-section is to be balanced by probiotics, I give you permission to start! The benefits of the small investment in some probiotic capsules far outweigh the negatives of delaying and include: incomplete maturation of your baby's immune system, increased colic in your baby, increase risk for atopic conditions in your baby: eczema, hay fever, asthma) and on and on.
