In reply to Kianna. Green seems to be what's recommended and what works best for most moms.

In reply to Patty. Pumping or nursing as much as possible is also supposed to help.

I just recovered from mastitis using raw garlic, massage, heat and rest. It was not fun, but the garlic was the life saver!

Looking for advice wellness mamma! I gave birth 6 days ago to a beautiful little surrogate baby, this was my 2nd time being a surrogate mother but this time around I decided not to pump for personal reasons (pumping is hard!) So I thought as long as I didn’t stimulate my breasts my milk wouldn’t come in. Boy I was so wrong! Yesterday I felt kinda run down, but I’m a mom and things needed to get done! Well by the end of the night my breasts felt huge,hurt,and I noticed a huge ball. Having once delt with mastitis before 8 years ago me and my husband new I just needed to get the milk out. So he so kindly hand expressed and massaged both of my breasts for me and tons and tons of milk came out (felt like such a waste of liquid gold) :'( Now this morning I still dont feel great and I’m horribly dizzy. I do plan on doing everything you suggested, but considering I dont have a baby to feed and dont wish to continue to have milk, how can I help to get the mastitis out and prevent further milk production at the same time? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

In reply to kellydreams2011.

I had similar situation with my first pregnancy depleting my body of nutritients as I did not know I had Lyme disease 24 years ago; after many doctors claiming I was depressed or exhausted from having 3 children ages 3 and under, I was labeled with thyroid issues, adrenal exhaustion, chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia along with myocafacial issues.

Every one of my 7 pregnancy resulted in breast infections at least once but I was able to beat them sometimes using the recommended natural ideas shared here plus massage at the area of pain under a hot shower (great relief!!) but never cabbage leaves which dried up milk in every mom I’ve known. Occasionally, the infection shows up when I was pregnant but still nursing a little one; with 15 pregnancies over 22 years, it tends to get you run down.

Drink, rest, nurse, rest and watch for streaks which is indicative of an infection which needs antibiotics.

Two kids….MANY MANY cases of clogged ducts where I spiked a fever and a couple cases of mastitis. #1 remedy. ..raw apple cider vinegar!!! Take it immediately. Then apply heat and nurse and massage. This has cleared up all my clogs in less than a day except one that was so bad I had to take raw garlic to clear it up and I completely lost my milk supply on one side and had to do many sessions of power pumping to restore it. But I swear by the acv as soon as you feel the clog!! It’s been the miracle cure for the many many clogs with fevers I’ve had since then! I take 2-4 tbsps a day when it happens and it really does clear right up!

Wonderful, thanks for the information. I definitely had an understanding that it does not infect the milk. It will probably safe for the babies.
