Found 2 articles on neonatal mastitis/abcess in the baby! One is 1975, the other is 1991. Staph aureus being the most common cause.
the 1975 article mentioned adult reduction in breast size and function. This article also mentioned that 1940s textbooks described it as very serious. Also mentioned in an 1830 text describing the problem.
There was some connection between expressing the infant's breast and subsequent infection, but that wasn't usually the case.
I've been doing this since 1967, as LLLL, IBCLC & APN and I've never seen this. Has anyone else? Any current text describing it?
What are we doing differently today that avoids this problem? Initiating BF quickly and avoiding serious engorgement in mom, so hormones in milk don't go crazy?  Trying to figure out the physiology of this......Pat in SNJ
