Got mastitis? Learn all about the new protocol to help you get through this holiday season while breastfeeding. When you're traveling and you and your baby are eating and sleeping differently, it's easy for mastitis to come along.

Have you ever dealt with mastitis or clogged ducts? Did you know that the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine updated their clinical guidelines on Mastitis treatment this year? Let your favorite cohosts update you on all the big changes in a 2 part series.
