While breastfeeding, an obstruction of milk flow can occur in the ductal system of the breast. This can lead to inflammation and/or infection of the breast, also known as mastitis. Most often this occurs early on, in the first 6-8 weeks postpartum, however, it can happen at any time while breastfeeding.
**If you are experiencing any signs or symptoms of infection, such as swelling, redness, or heat, it is recommended that you contact your doctor first to rule out infection and receive an appropriate antibiotic if needed.
