All the information I have read states that the mother could breastfeed on
both sides after treatment for abscess, and that though it might take time
to heal, and milk might leak that side, via the incision, that there really
should be no problem as long as the mother is comfortable. At the very
least, breastfeeding on the other side is advised...and pumping the
affected side, if mother wishes. I can't see how sudden weaning would do
anything except exacerbate the problem.
