C asked:
Originally, I chose to breastfeed but am unable to continue for medical reasons. Now my breasts are sore and sometimes feel full but I have been told by friends and family not to pump. I have heard that binding or wearing a tight bra helps, but I found that medical professionals advise against this. I also cannot use cabbage leaves because I’m allergic to sulfa. Am I at risk for mastitis? Please do not answer just to tell me that I really should breastfeed; I sure would if I could!
My son (my first child) is only 2 1/2 weeks old. I tried breastfeeding on and off since his birth and finally quit 3 days ago. Thank you!
