Marmalade had it for over 3 months! So not fun. Neither is Mastitis but I didn't have it like you had. Wow. YOU are super mom! We caught it really early and the breastfeeding support group here is FABULOUS! I have their number on speed dial and they are always so great to talk to. Weening is sad but you did what you had to do! You are amazing and a survivor for sure.

And I had...Two of my kiddos had thrush as newborns. And I had double mastitis with First Born Son. I was so angry at the local La Leche League because they kept telling me it was just the flu. I think that because I was a new breastfeeding mother- they were quick to write off my complaints and symptoms. I kept nursing around the clock despite the incredible pain. I was dealing with fevers as high as 104 and I was fainting every time I stood up. I suffered with it for 4 weeks before my doctor finally diagnosed it. I was put on antibiotics but the mastitis was so deep in my tissue by that point it had become resistant to the medicines approved for breastfeeding. Finally I had to go on something that was unsafe for breastfeeding. I was in so much pain and- as per the doctor's assessment, very near having to be hospitalized. Unfortunately I weened him:-( It was not a fun time or an easy decision. I completely feel for your discomfort. Plus you are taking care of sick kiddos- You are Super Mama!
