I am posting this for a colleague not on Lactnet. Any input would be appreciated- I am wondering if anyone has any experience with mastitis in an infant BEYOND the neonatal/newborn period? 10-month old presented with fever, irritability and breast lump, which eventually abscessed and ruptured – took a while on antibiotics to resolve. Was NOT MRSA. Thanks, Lisa Enger RN BSN IBCLC Boston, MA *********************************************** Archives: http://community.lsoft.com/archives/LACTNET.html To reach list owners: [log in to unmask] Mail all list management commands to: [log in to unmask] COMMANDS: 1.
