- Your breastfeed and become ill.
- Your breasts get swelled, or extremely engorged and hot.
- extreme pain while feeding or a burning feeling every time he/she eats.
- a fever, normally over 101
- red patches on your breast

If any or all of these symptoms are showing up calling your local doctor for further instructions. If caught in time you can start feeling better right away with a bit of medication.
