Shame there's no World Cup for breastfeeding problems...

Just wanting to hear from anyone who has had recurring mastitis - what was it that finally kicked it for you? First 2 times I had lumps, but today it hit over the course of 1 hour, with no lumps. Also have an infection in part of my gum (am in the middle of seeing dentist for that) - could the two be related?

Am on Keflex (a week's worth). Will see my lovely GP on Wed, but just wanted to know others' experiences.
