Mastitis is inflammation of the mammary gland (the breast). It is probably not a good idea to breastfeed your infant while you have mastitis, as there may be bacteria or other pathogens in the milk produced by this breast. You should probably talk with your OB/GYN as soon as possible, since mastitis can not only affect the baby but can also have significant health impacts on you.

Is mastitis the symptoms of cancer?
Mastitis most often occurs in lactating (breastfeeding women) but indicates any inflammation of the breast tissue. Most often it's related to milk stasis (milk blocked in or stuck in the little ducts) inside the breast. If the milk gets trapped in the breast, and does not continually move outwards, it gives germs a medium to hang out and multiply in. Signs of mastitis include: * Part or all of the breast is intensely painful, hot, tender, red, and swollen. Some mothers can pinpoint a definite area of inflammation, while at other times the entire breast is tender. * You feel tired, run down, achy, have chills or think you have the flu. A breastfeeding mother who thinks she has the flu probably has mastitis. Mothers with mastitis will sometimes experience these flu-like symptoms, even before they get a fever or notice breast tenderness. * You have chills or feel feverish, or your temperature is 101F or higher. These symptoms suggest that you have an infection. * You are feeling progressively worse, your breasts are growing more tender, and your fever is becoming more pronounced. With simple engorgement, a plugged duct, or mastitis without infection, you gradually feel better instead of worse. * Recent events have set you up for mastitis: cracked or bleeding nipples, stress or getting run down, missed feedings or longer intervals between feedings. You should be evaluated immediately by a lactation consultant, or your general provider, who may recommend a course of antibiotic treatment. If this is unresolved, it would require follow-up. The best qualified diagnostitian would be a radiologist who could perform an ultrasound to find out exactly what is going on. If you think there is something wrong, or there are changes in your breasts, and a health professional "blows you off" or pooh-poohs your concerns, get a second or third opinion!!! Your health is too important to ignore your intuition. Faith, IBCLC Board Certifed Lactation Consultant www.faithmcginn.com
Can drinking spoiled milk give your baby a fever?
That is always a topic of dispute. If milk is not taken out from the breast, the mother can get acute mastitis due to stagnation of the milk. That can be serious problem.

Top feeding is given to compliment the breast feeding, if baby does not get enough breast milk.

Symptoms of breast cancer can vary widely from person to person (note I didn't say woman to woman because men can actually develop breast cancer as well, although it is much more rare). Some of the more prevalent symptoms of breast cancer include: 1) a detectable lump, mass, or nodule in the breast or underarm areas beneath the skin (this doesn't necessarily mean it's cancer, but these need to be checked out by a physician), 2) swelling, tenderness, red streaking, or localized pain, especially around an area where a lump, mass or nodule has been detected, 3) any discharge not related to lactation/breast-feeding, 4) (general to cancer infection) unexplained malaise (tiredness), weakness, fever, etc.
