]]> Breastfeeding & Jury Duty – My Experience https://kellymom.com/bf/concerns/legal/my-jury-duty/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=my-jury-duty Wed, 17 Aug 2011 00:32:40 +0000 http://kellymom.com/?p=1863 I recently completed a week of jury duty service (8/16-20/04) while breastfeeding, and I wanted to share my experience, in case it may help others dealing with the same situation in the future. My daughter, Juliana, was born 5/29/04, and I'm still on maternity leave (as yet undecided as to whether I'm going back to work). I've been pumping periodically since she was about a month old, to build up a supply of milk for when I leave the house by myself (to run errands, work out at the gym, etc.), but I'd only ever pumped at home, and not on any sort of regular schedule.

]]> Breastfeeding and breast abscess https://kellymom.com/bf/concerns/mother/breast-abscess/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=breast-abscess Wed, 27 Jul 2011 20:22:14 +0000 http://kellymom.com/?p=1716 I developed a breast abscess after I returned to work full time when my daughter India was 10 months old. I had mastitis my 4th day back, and then a recurrent plug that I just couldn't get rid of. By my sixth week back, I had a full blown abscess the size of a kiwi. It was horrible - the area was very tender, especially when my breasts were full or if my daughter hit it while nursing, and my entire immune system was very taxed. Almost as horrible was having to deal with medical professionals who were very ill-informed about breastfeeding, telling me to wean.

On the other hand, about one-third of women with PCOS report problems with oversupply (perhaps this is connected with the hyperprolactinemia - elevated prolactin levels - that occurs in about 20% of moms with PCOS).
