An afebrile woman with persistent nonhealing nipples and low-grade intermittent breast pain was diagnosed at 9 weeks postpartum with a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection of the left breast with abscess formation. Unilateral weaning allowed partial lactation to continue. J Hum Lact. 24(3):326-329.
