I've tried lots of stuff for the mastitis - see this thread. I did see a LC early on (at my 2nd bout). Have already spoken to ABA, who talked me through the weaning process (although I tried to drop a feed yesterday & have got a lump already!!)

I think I'm just really prone to it - there is one duct in particular that often gets blocked

Might be time to call the LC again I suppose to see where to go from here. I just feel so sad and frustrated
