There seems to be a rush of mastitis among the expat population in
Thailand lately, all first time moms with mastitis in the first couple of months.
It is happening across different hospitals, different nationalities, but no
changes in type of care and breastfeeding education from past months.
We're in the end of the rainy season. It's probably just coincidence, but do
you know of any environmental factors that could contribute to higher
incidence of mastitis?

Kim and all,
I noticed here in Brooklyn, as Summer/Early Fall turns to Fall outright,
that I have also had a huge spate of calls from moms dealing with plugged
ducts or mastitis. I've noticed this for years, during seasonal changes and
wondered if it was related to subclinical seasonal allergy issues somehow
related to fluid balance shifts or something. This however is the first year
I have been amazed by how MANY mothers it seems to have affected.
Just my little corner of the globe,
Peace,
Judy
