Breast pain

Hello ladies !! I was exclusively pumping for 3 months an a stop pumping 2 weeks ago.
I was perfectly fine all these days , with no pain at all.
My period came 2 days ago and today one of my breast hurt so bad like mastitis and I been drooping a little bit of milk .
Questions
1- is this mastitis ?
2-I should pump?
3-do you think the pain it’s because of the period?
I don’t know what else this can be.
I don’t know what to do 🫠😩😩😩

You stopped pumping cold turkey?
Could be a clogged duct, probably not mastitis unless you also have a fever and feel like complete shit lol (from someone who's had it 3x)

If it's just one breast, my guess would be clog over general breast discomfort from your period. Maybe massage and pump a short time to try and relieve it. Or, if you have a haaka, use the hot water and Epsom salt trick.

It took me about 1 week and a half for completely stopped pumping I slowed down every day until I was comfortable and not more milk coming . I was very good for 2 week with out pumping until today.

Can u please tell me What is the hot water and epsom salt trick ?

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?
