Dear Barbara
Any chance that the mother is diabetic? From Riordan and Auerbach (1993 ed) Breastfeeding and Human Lactation, p 354:
"...there is some evidence that mothers with diabetes may be more susceptible to mastitis, especially if they are not well controlled (Ferris et al, 1988; Guthrie and Guthrie, 1982)"
Good luck in finding a solution.
