Hi Lisa, Thanks for your reply. There are no white spots on the nipple.
The mastits/abcess was caused by Staph aureus. Mum is currently feeding her
baby unilaterally and expressing just to take the edge off on the affected
side. She continues to use a nipple shield for the good side as this is the
only way the baby will attatch.
