Hello,
I would suggest mom try taking Lecithin, a natural fat emulsifier and watch to see if the consumption of saturated fats is affecting her. The recommended dosage of lecithin is 1 or 2 capsules (1200 mg) each 3-4 times daily or 1 tablespoon 3 to 4 times/day. The bacteria may be resistant to the antibiotic she is taking so she may want to try a broader-spectrum antibiotic.  Removing milk during missed feedings and plenty of rest may also help mom with her recurring mastitis. I hope mom has a lot of support to achieve some relief and continue pain-free breastfeeding. 

Best,
Claudia Quintanilla, CLE
