Husband went to the driving range when my clogged duct started seeming more like mastitis

Mastitis is perfect for telehealth to. Going to an urgent care with a newborn sounds like a nightmare. I held my red boob right up to the screen and had the antibiotics delivered.

Sure, I'll get right on that after I put 2 preschoolers and 1 baby to bed.

Next time, don't bother putting them to bed. I'm sure the telehealth nurse hears screaming kids in the background hourly.

And stop giving this man kids.

There is really nothing he could do though (unless he's a doc and can prescribe you some antibiotics ). Sounds like a case of him not reading the room, vs being actually callous or cruel.

OP, I wish I hadn't said 99% of the words that came out of my mouth to my spouse at the nursing/early postpartum stage of life. Try to assume noble intent.

He could have stayed home and taken care of his kids so she could get medical treatment and rest

I’ve had mastitis 6 times. ER for it once and urgent care once and they almost sent me t
The hospital. It takes 24-48 hours for antibiotics to kick on. Last time I took antibiotics when it started coming on I still spiked a 103 fever and was deathly ill with chills 12-24 hours AFTER I popped the antibiotics. My doc keeps me stocked at home with them because it comes on fast and furious for me but it is no joke. I’m sorry OP. Sympathy from me for you, your DH sucks!

After the 4th time, I would switch to formula. I want to enjoy my baby.

NP here. I came down with mastitis the evening of Thanksgiving a few years ago when my youngest was a baby. My husband got me the heated blanket while I had chills, woke up early the next morning with our toddler, and ran out to pick up antibiotics that my midwife’s office called in when I phoned them the next morning. I can’t imagine my spouse leaving me home sick with multiple young kids for a recreational activity. I legit felt like I had the flu while someone was simultaneously trying to slice from me from nipple to armpit with an ice pick. Mastitis sucks, I’m sorry OP.

Make better choices going forward, OP. Do a telehealth visit and get your antibiotics.

with friends like you, who would need enemies? 🙄

I never had full blown mastitis, but this is why I hated breastfeeding. I switched to formula early (supplemented from bath), and have zero regrets. Free yourself, op. Then you might have to do something about that husband.

When I had mastitis my husband took the kids and did bedtime while I went to a walk in clinic and got antibiotics.

When I had mastitis the first time the midwives told me to take echinecea and like hot compresses or something. I am still angry that they made me get so sick I cried, with like a three week old, before giving me drugs. They wanted my fever to be at some level first. I think I sent my husband to buy two new thermometers felt so shitty I needs one to get up high enough. F—- them.

Next time I jumped for antibiotics immediately. It’s important. Screw everyone else including your husband and even the kids need a healthy mom more than sleep….

OP is a grown woman who chose to have not one, not two but three children with someone who, in her words, has "narcissistic rages". I don't have time for people manufacturing their own drama.

A.M.E.N. You read my mind.
