Lump in breast when breastfeeding

I have found a lump in my breast that is sore to touch and hard. It feels kind of moveable. Has anyone had this while breastfeeding? It’s not mastitis as I’ve had that a few times

Most likely a blocked duct, but if it doesn’t go away with breastfeeding or you develop other symptoms etc within a week or so I’d visit a doctor just to get them to have a look x

Sounds harmless but go get it checked for peace of mind x

Starting solids, effect on breastfeeding?

Hey mamas, my 6 month old has been having a blast trying solid foods. She will try to eat anything and everything and nothing slows her down. Has anyone had a negative impact on breastfeeding after starting solids? My girl has had lots of "breastfeeding strikes" and gets mad about nursing a lot.

Hands in mouth

How often are your baby's hands in their mouth?

I know it's perfectly normal development but even when my 12 week old is asleep all I can hear is them having a good munch on their 'apparently' tasty hands. 😂

Don't get me started on the cheese smelling lint collectors no matter how many times I clean them throughout the day. 😂

Settling after night wakes

Baby boy is 6 months - does anybody have any tips on how to settle my little boy back to sleep at night? Usually he wakes every hour and I have only been able to feed him to sleep… trouble is, he is breastfed but has terrible reflux so have to hold him for a while before I put him back down. After the first wake, he won’t go back down in his cot, he ends up in bed with us, but I don’t want this to be the norm. He won’t take a dummy either and screams if put down awake 😢 running off little sleep, any tips appreciated x

Neurodiverse?

Really worried about my 7.5 month old. To be honest, started picking up on certain “quirks” at around 4 months old. Being a foster carer for 20 years my specialty is placements of the neurodiverse, and learning disabilities. However they have never been this tiny, and I’m wondering if these are just normal things or likely to be “something”. I’d rather not hear that she is too young, or what the difference would be, because she’s not to young to be showing signs but no, it wouldn’t make an ounce of difference , she’s literally my world.

She doesn’t sleep, at all. Maybe one nap a day, two if I’m lucky, has been since 3 months old and only ever 30 mins or less. Owlet registers over 30+ wakes a night, it’s relentless, she’s still in our bedroom for this reason.

She’s NON STOP. Constantly bouncing, wriggling, refused to be strapped in anywhere, loves to move m, rougher the better, thrown high, etc- huge sensory output. Doesn’t sit still, can’t read with her, keep her entertained for any length of time

Constantly rubs her forefinger and thumb together in cross shape all day, only one hand. Always points her feet. Hand ALWAYS in her mouth, from 2.5 months. Keeps pulling head to one side randomly.

Used to love certain toys and sensory items- now screams if she’s near them. Hates shoes and socks, laughs randomly all the time, can play for hours just with stacking cups and gets so overstimulated multiple times a day.
