 | | In addition, if a mother has mastitis that is being treated with an antibiotic, Leaders should encourage the mother to complete the full course and not discontinue the medication as soon as she begins to feel better. | | | Leaders who are helping a mother with mastitis need to recognize the importance of helping to resolve the immediate problem and exploring the possible causes so the mother can avoid a relapse. | | | If a woman recognizes the signs of mastitis early enough, the following techniques can help to alleviate the problem: resting in bed, applying warm compresses, gently massaging over the affected area starting behind the soreness, and breastfeeding frequently on both sides using different positions. |
