Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mastitis-6#post-2777247 Tue, 03 Oct 2017 14:19:53 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2777247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MommySLP: the probiotic we have for the kids is just a liquid. Like vitamin d drops. Just drop onto the tongue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mastitis-6#post-2777233 Tue, 03 Oct 2017 13:38:20 +0000 gingerbebe 2777233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MommySLP: I'd only mix up just enough milk to dissolve the powder - like a tablespoon or two - since you can't really keep and reuse the probiotic milk. It sorta curdles the milk to like, breastmilk yogurt!? I don't know its weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mastitis-6#post-2777226 Tue, 03 Oct 2017 13:28:42 +0000 MommySLP 2777226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@gingerbebe: great exactly what I needed to know. Thanks for your help! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mastitis-6#post-2777225 Tue, 03 Oct 2017 13:27:06 +0000 gingerbebe 2777225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MommySLP: You can find a probiotic powder made for infants and mix a little up in a bottle of freshly pumped/expressed milk. It dissolves and its tasteless. If you don't want to use bottles, you can syringe it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mastitis-6#post-2777219 Tue, 03 Oct 2017 13:16:06 +0000 MommySLP 2777219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks all. They called in a prescription. They also said to take a probiotic 3-4 times a day and give it to baby too to avoid thrush. Seems like one thing after another here! Any experience with giving probiotic to baby--she's only 5 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mastitis-6#post-2777194 Tue, 03 Oct 2017 12:17:30 +0000 psw27 2777194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds about right. I'd call because they might just phone in antibiotics for you, they did for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mastitis-6#post-2777186 Tue, 03 Oct 2017 11:56:46 +0000 ineebee 2777186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it's an online message you sent in, I'd call again and just schedule an appointment ASAP if that's the only way you'll get any medication. Sorry - mastitis sucks, and that would be my first thought. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mastitis-6#post-2777165 Tue, 03 Oct 2017 11:23:25 +0000 gingerbebe 2777165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The redness and blocked ducts came AFTER the flu like symptoms for me. I'd get the drugs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mastitis-6#post-2777164 Tue, 03 Oct 2017 11:23:12 +0000 bhbee 2777164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes that’s it! Fever and hit like a truck. My ob called in the meds and it took a while for them to kick the fever but then I felt so much better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mastitis-6#post-2777158 Tue, 03 Oct 2017 11:08:08 +0000 Alba4 2777158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. It sucks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mastitis-6#post-2777152 Tue, 03 Oct 2017 10:56:53 +0000 avivoca 2777152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like mastitis to me! The last time I had it, I felt fine but my joints were aching and I couldn't get warm. My temperature went up very quickly (I was at work) and my vision started shimmering. I didn't have any breast pain but I went to nurse my daughter and saw red streaking on my breast and I knew that's what it was. I hope your doctor gets back to you soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mastitis-6#post-2777146 Tue, 03 Oct 2017 10:27:41 +0000 MommySLP 2777146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD2 is 5 weeks old &amp; the last two nights has slept a 6 hour stretch. I woke up this morning at 4am with extreme body aches, chills &amp; a fever of 103.5. I hardly ever get fevers so this is really high for me. I immediately thought mastitis because I don't have any other flu like symptoms but I don't seem to have any redness or blocked ducts-- I have been engorged due to her sleep change. Could this be just the beginning of it? Any experience with something similar? I have a message into my OB but haven't heard back. </p>
