I am talking with a 2nd time, experienced breastfeeding mom. She has a 6
week old baby, supposedly feeding well, but last week admitted to ER with
mastitis. Hospitalized. Started on Vancomycin IV x 5 days. Aspirated
via ultrasound x 2. Discharged day 5 on Cephalexin m. She is cleaning
site daily. Return in 1-2 weeks to her Dr. She continues to breastfeed
from this breast w/o difficulty. ( I have no idea how). She has sent me
these pictures from today. I feel not enough is being done! The breast
tissue looks necrotic. I would love a few better educated opinions please
