Like Jack Newman, I too have worked with women with a breast abscess.  In
all cases, the surgery was done with a local (I was in the room holding
baby in several cases, so mother would be calm seeing that baby was ok;
with other hand, I held mother's hand for comfort) anesthetic.

In all cases, breastfeeding was continued on the opposite side.  AND, she
pumped affected breast until she was no longer getting blood or pus from
the nipple when she couldn't nurse directly (often this is possible,
depending on the position of the incision and how close it is to
nipple/areolar area) and how she feels about doing so.

In all cases, outcome was good, and mother continued to breastfeed on both
sides after healing.
