Lavendar has Mastis, please send prayers her way. Here's the comment I left on her blog:
Sending prayers your way. Mastis is often a signal that you need to care for yourself, more.
At the first sign of trouble, I have my hot herbie. Organic flaxseed, sewn into a bit of fabric, about a pound. Then I microwave it until it is warmer than I can take, and put it on any sore spot on my mighty milk makers, with a shirt or something to mitigate the heat.
I rest and apply that at the first sign of trouble.
You may want to check with your midwife if heat is okay first. I've been lucky in my half dozen years of production not to get mastis, so I don't know the rules.
I think Herbie has kept my jugs a flowwing. I keep some in the freezer for booboos too. They can go from freezer to microwave in case a sore muscle wants heat too.
(Hopefully some unsolicited internet advice and a chuckle can help too ;)
