Hi, one of my last moms resigned her job as mom at 2 weeks and was so engorged and red and warn. I expressed enough milk to give her comfort-it was way too much fighting to get the puppies to nurse. Alternating warm and cool cloths was soothing to her. Also, the top of a tubesock with the foot cut off can help apply gentle pressure.
I know a woman whose mom had mastitis and the breast became gangrenous. That mom can never be bred again and she almost died. Her entire breast was removed. It was horrible so I that these things very seriously!!
