I had recurrent, terribly painful mastitis throughout nursing 3 babies! I asked different medical "professionals" how to prevent it, but did not get any beneficial advice. I frequently ended up on antibiotics to quell the infections. Finally, shortly after #4 was born, a doctor informed that all I needed to do was to slightly rotate each breast during the nursing times and this would help to drain all areas of the breast more evenly. I never had a case of mastitis again!. Let your readers know that most cases of mastitis are from the breast not being "drained" evenly, and having the milk sort of stagnate in those areas. Good luck to all. (From a mom of 5, getting ready to adopt #6)
