POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy11 months agoA. Yes, in most cases, you can continue breastfeeding even if you have a breast infection, such as mastitis. Breastfeeding is generally safe for your baby, and continuing to nurse can help relieve the infection by keeping the milk flowing. Stopping breastfeeding abruptly may make the infection worse by causing milk buildup. The infection is usually localized in the breast tissue, and it doesn't affect the quality of the breast milk, which remains safe for your baby.
However, if you are experiencing severe pain or if the infection has caused an abscess, it is important to consult a doctor. They may prescribe antibiotics that are safe to use while breastfeeding. If the infection causes discomfort, you can try nursing on the unaffected breast first or using a breast pump to relieve pressure. Always keep the affected area clean, and apply warm compresses before feeding to help with milk flow and pain relief. If you have concerns or the infection persists, it’s best to seek medical advice to ensure proper treatment.
