Our  counsellors learn that mastitis can be more common as Autumn turns  to
winter (May to June here) because mothers wear more clothes.  Hence  when
they feed, their jumpers (sweaters, pullovers) are bunched up under  their
arms and can cause blocked ducts.  Could this be the problem in  the other
hemisphere too?


~~ Interesting. That would make sense for the Fall into Winter timeframe,  
not too much change in clothing here at this point but it's good to keep it 
in  mind as a possibility. I wonder if it has to do with change of seasons 
being  associated with changes in eating habits, or pace of life changes, 
etc, as well  and reactions to various other environmental things that change. 
There is also  the "holiday plugged ducts/mastitis episodes but they haven't 
kicked in  yet. Of course it could all be an artifact...life is such a  
mystery... 
 
Peace,
