Breasts?

So... I have a lump on my right breast and I've only heard of that being cancer. I'm currently feeding my daughter on that boob because my mother in law says I could just be full. So I'll post an update after.

Update: it went down mostly and once she fell asleep she pulled off and there was milk in her mouth. The thing is I forgot to mention that I wasn't producing milk before this.

Could be a blocked milk duct if breastfeeding

Hi Lexi,
I’m also breastfeeding and have had mastitis twice so far (my daughter is 3m old) I’m not saying you have mastitis, I’ve had lumps that disappeared when I kept expressing and feeding.
I would get it checked if it doesn’t go away on its own, otherwise it’s just you producing milk and everything that comes with that, e.g as Natalie mentioned - block duct.

My baby is only 11 days old and I've had lumps everyday since day 6. It's just extra milk for me. The lactation consultant didn't think it was mastitis. She gave me advice on how to ease the discomfort from them when baby is done eating.

Rocking chair yes or no

Hey mamas! I’m having my first baby and I’m sorting out his nursery so no clue on some things. My question is a rocking chair a necessary or helpful item to purchase for the nursery or is it a waste of money and space? Xx

I appreciate any advice xx

Not sleeping !! FOMO baby 👶

My 16 week old, will not sleep!
She has just turned 16 weeks today and over the last week or so it has been increasingly difficult to settle her.
She’s always been difficult to settle but also very advanced - she’s sitting mostly independently, grabbing toys, putting everything in her mouth and showing all the signs she ready to be weaned (due to start very soon) & definitely already teething!
She has mostly slept in the pram/movement, rocked or BF to sleep - I’ve tried every other way, she just gets frustrated & refuses.
But it’s getting worse, to the point she’s having 4/5 hour wake windows and getting so distressed because she just won’t settle no matter how hard I try or what I do.

She doesn’t sleep in the car, pram anymore.
And is so unhappy all the time because she’s tired.

Honestly, I am stuck - I really have tried everything and I don’t know what to do.

I’m a tired mama, but my heart breaks for her because she’s so tired but can’t seem to settle or stay asleep.

Any suggestions? Is it just me or are there other mama’s having the same? Because this feels really overwhelming and lonely.

Thank you in advance for any tips!! 🤍

Will giving my BF baby mess up latching?

Baby is only 2 weeks, eats from a bottle occasionally no problems and latches to me no problems. But I there are times where I cant keep baby latched or need a break, and am tempted to give baby a pacifier.

Mommas, do you believe there’s such a thing of “spoiling” your newborns?

I have some people tell me that I spoil my newborn by holding her too much. She is a month old. Anytime she cries I tend to her. I give her contact naps when she’s fighting sleep and I hold her when she wants to be held.

Does this bother anyone else like it bothers me? I don’t know, this is my first baby and I want her to feel secure and loved.

Umbilical cord

What does everyone do with umbilical cord that’s dried up?

Is it ppd?

Im 10 weeks postpartum and I’ve never been so quick to anger before and get mad about the smallest things. I get upset/feel guilty after about getting mad or irritated at my husband or baby. I hate feeling this way😕
