St. Blaise's Feast Day

It looks like I'm battling mastitis right now so the girls made these cookies for their brothers today to celebrate St. Blaise's Day.
 They have taken over the baby, the kitchen, the laundry, everything to let me rest. Oh how I love these big girls of mine.

  1. Just said a quick prayer for you! I suffered mastitis once with my most recent baby and it was no joke. I'm wincing just remembering! It is great to have older children to help out. Hang in there and have a great weekend.

  2. Oh please do take care and call the doctor if you start a fever! I let mastitis get away from me once and wound up in the hospital. Praying for you now.

  4. Rest, rest, rest, and nurse, nurse, nurse! Take baby to bed with you and do both! And the doc may give you an antibiotic to help as well. Hope it passes quickly!!

  7. Hot, wet washcloth, massaging the sore spot while cupcake nurses. Have hubby do the massaging if it's too awkward. Or nursing baby in the tub.

    Ok, well, I see I'm late with my advice, but it's always been the best thing for me. That, and actually resting! :-)
