I have had a sudden group of mom's (n=4)  all c-sections, all early nipple damage and all developing mastitis within the first month.  3 of them have had another round of mastitis within 2-3 weeks.  These are mom's who have improved their latch but yes there has always been either a latch/position issue or unresolved tongue tie.  My question is aside from more and more antibiotics - and continuing to work on latch or resolving the tongue tie- is there anything else that is being tried or used?  Homeopathy? Accupuncture? I already recommend probiotics.  I feel like the protocol for recurrent mastitis has changed a little if it has can someone point me in the direction of new information.

Thank you.
