Nursing mother clothing? I wanted to get your opinion before seeing a doctor.

Like in pregnancy, your body works a bit differently during nursing. A nursing mother's immune system generally works like a healthy adult's, but exhaustion, sleep deprivation, and hormonal changes can leave your body slightly more vulnerable to infection.
What you'll actually notice most in a nursing mother's "clothing" are changes in breast tissue — especially mastitis (breast inflammation). If you have a red, warm, tender area and it's accompanied by fever, chills, or flu-like feelings, this could be mastitis. If untreated, it can progress, so seeing an OB/GYN or general surgery specialist is best.
Don't forget to ask your doctor: "Should I keep nursing?" (continuing to nurse is usually recommended with mastitis, and even draining from the blocked side speeds healing) and "If I use pain reliever/antibiotics, will they pass to my baby?"
Get well soon.
