Mastitis is the name given to a range of conditions that all involve inflammation in the breast. You may never experience mastitis or you may find that you need to take steps to prevent it from recurring.

As you produce milk, some of the many, many small ducts (tubes) that transport your milk can get overly full. You may occasionally feel discomfort or tenderness that gets better after your baby nurses or you express some milk. If you notice an area that is hard, swollen, warm, painful or red (on lighter skin tones) that isn’t relieved by nursing or pumping, one or more of those ducts may have become inflamed.

The good news is that with supportive care mastitis does get better and you can continue to breastfeed through it all. Mastitis usually starts with a simple inflammation in just one milk duct which causes the duct to narrow, slowing down the flow of milk. This has often been called a “plugged” duct; since there isn’t really a “plug,” this term can be misleading. Mastitis may also involve a much larger area of inflammation in the breast tissue. You may feel achy, with fever, chills and a rapid heartbeat, similar to having the flu. Sometimes this inflammation goes on to become a bacterial infection, which may require antibiotic treatment. Mastitis is not contagious. You don’t need to routinely sterilize pump parts, pacifiers or household items. Early treatment to reduce the inflammation can help you avoid an infection. All stages of mastitis are treatable.
