Mastitis usually starts with a simple inflammation in just one milk duct which causes the duct to narrow, slowing down the flow of milk. This has often been called a “plugged” duct but since there isn’t really a “plug,” this term can be misleading.

It's not necessary to squeeze the “plug” out. Pumping or feeding more than baby wants to “free the plug” is also not helpful. These strategies can make the problem worse.

Using cool compresses, anti-inflammatory drugs and feeding only as much as baby wants, helps to reduce the inflammation. This reduces pressure on the ducts so the milk is able to get flowing again.

If you are not starting to feel better after 24 hours and continue to have a fever and/or fast heart rate, talk with your healthcare provider about the possible use of antibiotics. Antibiotics are not recommended unless a bacterial infection is suspected. You can continue to nurse your baby while you are taking antibiotics.

Remember that breastfeeding can and should carry on throughout treatment for mastitis. If you need information and support, La Leche League Canada is here to help. Go to lllc.ca/get-help to find your local LLLC Group.
