definatly get on to a LC straight away!
for mastitis feeding through is the best! i know it is soooo painful but it is the best, if you can put bubs chin to the main lump that will help!
take some panadol and lots of deep breaths while feeding.

The LC in hospital helped me immensely with my bleeding nipples. I used a nipple shield for a week or two and then went on to BF for 14 months.
Good luck!

Keep bfing from the affected breast as much as you can stand. A pump will not clear the ducts as quickly as baby will. If you can't see a LC, phone the ABA on 1800 mum 2 mum for their advice on caring for your nipples and recovering from the mastitis.
I had mastitis fairly often in the first year of my DD's life and we bf for almost four years!
