I feel for you. Mastitis refers to any inflammation of the breast. It can be caused by a duct, infection or both. I've had mastitis a few times but I've been able to catch it before it went too far. If there is a next time listen...

My CD supply is small so I was stuck without one while they were drying. I mentioned to dh that I might have to use a disposable and his exact words were, "Oh no! why do you have to do that?" I must have caught him off guard...

OK What my friends did for me: They never guilted me -that would have backfired. They would casually talk about how easy it could be. "Oh yes that's my diaper pail. I just throw them in and wash ....." My friend made her...
