Mastitis.. help?

Hello before I get into it I know this is mostly my fault but my son’s feeding hours are bizarre so bare with me. I think Im developing or already having issue with mastitis. My sons feeding hours are pretty great and he sleeps through majority of the night so I don’t pump as often (every 2-3 hours) at night like I would during the day. Hes two months and sleeps from 7pm to 4am ish? First couple of times I was able to fix the issue but it’s seriously painful this morning. I tried the hot shower, massage while pumping etc, any other remedies I can try? When should I get worried?

Ouch. I didn't realise you could get this from not feeding regularly enough. Once i had a lot of pain, it only lasted a day though. I put a warm compress on, as much as possible. I think i had a clogged duct so i still fed baby, it hurt so badly. But i thought that might gm help unclog it.
Ive heard sunflower lecithin can help, i bought some but it resolved before I tried it. So not sure.

5am day starts

My 7 week old seems to wake for the day from 5am unless i put him in the sling he will then go sleep.

Will this eventually change and settle into a normal time if maybe 6/7am?

I have a 2yr old as well so praying this will change because my days are becoming sooo long. My toddler happily sleeps till 7/8am usually 😴

Tooth extraction

I am having a wisdom tooth extraction next week, I will be sedated and the procedure will take about an hour and a half. I have a four month old and I’m exclusively breastfeeding. In the consent form it says I shouldn’t breastfeed for eight hours and I should pump and dump.

I was wondering if any of you had a tooth extraction with sedation and are breastfeeding?

Can you tell me if you had to wait with breastfeeding? If not was the baby okay?

A lot of places say that I don’t have to wait and I can breastfeed as soon as I feel well enough. I have pumped some milk and kept it in the freezer, but I’m not sure if it’s enough and I don’t know if the baby will take the bottle.

Wake windows

Hi, my baby is 12 days old and is starting to stay awake longer and longer and I have no idea what to do with him, we've done tummy time but he's too young to do it too long. He just stars at me and me makes funny noises and I havnt got a clue what to do with him. He can't even see very far yet 😅 please can I ask what you guys did?

Reccos for breastfeeding tops / bras

Hi all, slowly getting my head round what works to breastfeed in public but would love some more help

Looking for supportive tops with in built bra support for slightly larger ladies (DD+) that you can wear without a breastfeeding bra and just yoik it up!

Also looking for a good strapless bra you can feed in by easily pulling down? And along with that any good feeding bras in general!

And any reccos for how to feed in a dress discretely! Thanks so much

4 month sleep regression

Baby is approaching 20 weeks now. We’ve been in the sleep regression stage for 4 WEEKS😭😭 it’s not getting any better. I’m running on empty I’m exhausted and upset all of the time. I feel like everyone else suffers for a week or two and I’m 4 weeks in what can I do? So many false starts, sleeping no longer than 2 hour stretches and she used to do 8-9. So so hard to settle even when fed I’m at my wits end😥
