How to stay chilled in 100+ degree weather
Step 1 – wake up to feed baby at 2:00 am Saturday thinking you’re a bit engorged
Step 2 – after 7:00 am feeding realize that it is probably a plugged milk duct, take something for a terrible headache
Step 3 – while running errands develop body aches and flu like symptoms
Step 4 – come home and collapse from exhaustion
Step 5 – wake up approximately one hour later, with chills, take temperature, think “a fever of 102.6 is probably not good.”
Step 6 – contact doctor’s office, get diagnosis that strikes fear in the heart of nursing mothers everywhere – the dreaded “m” word – mastitis
Step 7 – immediately turn all household and child care tasks over to your wonderful husband
Step 8 – spend most of the weekend wrapped in your blanket and lying on the couch as you fight fever and infection
