One of my recent clients gave birth in a birth centre and due to shonky advice, ended up with mastitis twice before I even got to see her for the post-natal visit. I sent Pinky off to see her (IBCLC) and in one visit the problem was detected and fixed. I got a beautiful email from her 'I now know what you mean about breastfeeding being enjoyable.' Aaaawwwww...

Definitely agree with seeking help early, from an LC, the ABA or as per Barb suggested. Lots of great advice here
