Lumpy and hot breast

My left breast has been feeling lumpy and a bit hot. Not painful or anything, should I be worried?

It does seem to go down a bit after I have fed baby, but not much. Then always feels more full than the other.

It’s the milk not being fully expressed. If you keep letting it build up then it can become infected! Try keep baby on that side for longer and if it still feels lumpy or hot then self express in the shower to release more :)

if I keep feeding her more on that side, what about my other breast? Wouldn’t that make that one more full and might get the same issue?

Naps in the car

I'm currently sitting in the car on my drive (with the windows open) because my 6 month old fell asleep only 20 minutes ago so I'm letting her finish up the nap.

Got me thinking though - as it gets warmer, are people still leaving their babies to finish their nap if they fall asleep or are you taking them in right away as it's getting warmer (14 degrees where I am today)?

MIL kissing baby

My baby girl was born on 2/17/26, my husband and I told our immediate family no kisses at all, wash hands etc. For the first 2 times his family visited they followed the rules and to be honest I didn’t let them hold her because I had a feeling. But since they seemed to be respecting it I let them hold her on the 3rd time and everything seemed fine. The 4th visit she came up to us and straight went to kiss her head, it gave me no time to respond. I got very upset and went upstairs with her. My husband followed asking if I needed help, I told him I was very upset and just said just drop it. Fast forward a few days and she gets sick. He refuses to accept it was from her, he keeps saying it was probably him. They wanted to come over for Easter and I said no, I am still very upset. She has been the only one breaking the rule, my mom was here helping me out with baby and the house stuff for about a month and she respected it from day 1. We have gone to several doctor appt and ER visits because she was not getting better. Its been over a week now and she seems to be on the mend now. My husband always gets upset because I get upset when his family does stuff like this. Any advise?
