Laurie, you wrote, "I recently
worked with a mom who had many bf challenges, including recurrent mastitis.
Cultures revealed a germ I had never heard of but is not really rare, and
ultimately (after months and months and seeing bf specialty doctor) decided
to wean the affected side."

Could you let us know the name of the organism you identified, 
please?  I know the usual culprit is Staph aureua.  But I had a 
series of clients, years ago with Staph Pyogenes.  No-one had ever 
heard of it as a cause of ongoing abraded nipples and/or breast pain, 
but it came up 14 times in different clients over the course of 2-3 
years.  So I'm curious about what you found?
