female cat with swollen tit

[Louise]

she has been nursing fine for 6 weeks and now there is a huge lump under one tit.....any ideas of how to help this female cat out? no money for a vet!

I am not a vet nor do I have any training in that field. But I am thinking she may have something like mastitis, especially if the kittens are eating solid food more and nursing less or it may be that the tit is blocked and they are not drinking out of that one. It may help to put a warm damp cloth over the lump for a bit and then perhaps gently massage afterwards - maybe try to 'milk' it.
