I have a mom who is nursing twins (born 2/4)  & has been having repeat
engorgment every week or two that resolves with lots of nursing.  The
latest episode moved into mastitis.  She nurses the babies together & a
massage therapist shared the following thoughts in regard to the
recurrent problem:

[ I used to raise dairy goats many moons ago in my hippie days and if we
had a
doe with twins and a nursing  problem (eg. mastitis, engorgement, tender
or
swollen teats) we would only let her have one kid at a time to suckle and
then
trade off! Along with massaging the udder, this sequential nursing often
resolved the problem without using medication.

What do you folks think?

Warmly,
