Oh no - what an awful time you've had How old is your little one hun?

Recurrent mastitis can have a few causes - it might be that the breast needs to be drained more often - how many feeds does your little one have in 24 hours?, it could be related to a tight bra or other pressure on your breasts, it could be something like white spot that is blocking some milk from coming out, or maybe your immunity is lowered at the moment - it could be related to your other infection. It is also possible that the antibiotics you are taking are not the right ones for your infection so it's not totally going away in between. Sometimes there can be a medical cause, some mums who have recurrent mastitis have low levels of IGA. If this doesn't clear quickly and stay away with frequent feeding and no tight bra, it might be a good idea to try another type of antibiotic - Barb should be able to tell you the best ones.

All the best hun.
