Breast engorgement occurs when breasts are not being adequately emptied by nursing or a breast pump. It can occur after a birth if the mother decides not to nurse and medication is NOT given to help dry up the milk. In other words, when supply exceeds demand engorgement can occur. Mastitis is a bacterial infection and antibiotics are used to treat a painful lump...as wellness warm compresses.
