Mastitis occurs when a part of your breast becomes tender and swollen due to infection. Having milk left behind in the breasts after feeding (not fully emptying both breasts), clogged (plugged) milk ducts, and engorgement can contribute to mastitis. Cracked or damaged nipples can also cause mastitis by allowing bacteria to enter the breast tissue. In mastitis, the affected breast becomes red, warm, swollen, and painful. Initially all you may feel is just a slight pain or tenderness in your breast; however, that can turn into full blown flu symptoms that include fever, nausea, chills, and more. There are several things you can do to help prevent mastitis from developing. Educating yourself prior to breastfeeding will dramatically decrease your chances of developing an infection.
