Welcome back, Alicia.  I worked with a mother some years ago who sustained a
blow to the breast from a kicked soccer ball when she was about 6 mo pp.
She suffered from repeated breast infections.  She was terribly sensitive to
any level of engorgement, and this would trigger systemic sx almost immed.
After several courses of antibiotics and some elaborate schemes to manage
things, she elected to follow my advice to do a unilateral weaning.  It was
done on antibiotics with supervision from OB/GYN and proceeded uneventfully.
She nursed several more months on the other breast.
