Looks like I had - have - a virus unconnected to the blocked ducts. Mastitis sounds awful - I've certainly never experienced anything like what some of you have described. Guess it just goes to show that each breastfeeding journey can be a bit different. As I said, this is my third spell breastfeeding a bub and I've never had the soreness and "hardness" I've experienced on and off lately. Anyway, sounds like I'm tackling it the right way - my first instinct when I feel sore and hard (not engorged hard, though - different sensation) is to feed, feed, feed and massage. I can't imagine not getting rid of the milk asap, so thank god DS3 is a good feeder.
Cheers all
