A breastfed baby comes in for his 2 month check-up and has gained four pounds, since birth. He began to sleep through the night a few days ago and mom has been very engorged when he awakens in the morning. One breast does not get well emptied, and she noted a tender lump yesterday. The mother also reports she feels like she has the "flu" today and had a temperature of 101.
Q1: What could be going on? What should be done?
