where i work we encourage women to express on the
side that they are infected and continue feeding on the other side until the
infection clears, the infection should be treated by antibiotics and if severe
admission to hospital for iv antibugs. if the breastmilk has blood in it we
discourage any breastfeeding whatsoever and get the mother to express all feeds
until the infection passes she then can resume b/feeding when she feels better
but ensure that the breast is always empty after feeding.
