Mastitis and Low Level Laser therapy

Dear Mum!

I totally hear you! It's not easy... I remember being a first-time mum and determent to breastfeed. I grew up in Hungary and was only 21 when I had my first baby. Way too young to be a mum! After my baby was born I began the journey of somewhat "going down the rabbit hole" of breastfeeding.

Not having appropriate guidance, knowledge and support I ended up with mastitis. Definitely not fun!

I was in pain, I was uncomfortable, and nothing really seemed to ease the discomfort and pain.

Thank goodness for the "experienced" mum next door, a mum of 3, who came to the rescue. She gave me some tips on massage, self-care, and a hot bath — wouldn't that be nice if I would have had a bath — and she gave me a red heat lamp. A red heat lamp????

I thought....really....how is that going to help?? Then I remembered!!! The AHA moment!

When I was a child, I happened to be sick a lot. I suffered from an ongoing chest infection, ear aches, and sinus problems and my GP treated me with the RED HEAT lamp! Yes! It was normal practice in Hungary in 1970!

Red light has been a lifesaver for me and for my health and wellbeing. So used it for my mastitis, and it gave me amazing relief! Eased the pain, and made my breast softer and less swollen. It also helped with cracked nipples too.

So if you are experiencing some challenges around breastfeeding, or you are experiencing pain and discomfort, 2-3 laser therapy sessions can make a big difference.
