Pump breastmilk and feed it to infant instead of nursing.

Start infant on the unaffected side, so there is less pain when infant is the hungriest.

Finish antibiotics even if symptoms improve.

Wear an underwire bra around the clock.

Apply warm compresses to affected area before feeding.

Wash hands before handling the breast.

Maintain activity due to the risk of blood clots with extra rest.

Vary breastfeeding positions at each feeding.

Pump breasts if feeding will be missed, due to absence from the infant.
