Newborn stage coming to an end

Feeling super emotional that I no longer have a newborn baby😭 I feel like he already looks so much more grown up.
Looking forward to the next chapter🩵 any advice for the next few months?

Dummy and throwing up

My 12 day old throws up everytime I try and give her a dummy. Is this normal?
It’s like the minute it touches her lips she gags and then projectile vomits!

My sister in law is a mum herself and I generally get on with her well. She sometimes oversteps boundaries though and she once gave my son a big piece apple when he was about 6 months old without asking, and he started coughing and I had to take it out his mouth.
My husband has recently said that she would like to look after our son (who is now almost 2) and it would give us chance to have some date nights/days.
I just don't feel 100% comfortable though and I'm not sure if I'd spend the time away worrying.

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.

Nighttime Nappies

My little one is 7 months old and we’ve always used Aldi nappies, he’s currently in size 3 and size 4 is just too big. Recently he’s started leaking through the night, I’m guessing from all the rolling he does in the night. Can anyone recommend a good brand that can be used on a night time? TIA x

Does losing weight mean losing my milk supply slowly?

I’ve been going Gym for the last 4 to 5 weeks and I’ve noticed the change of my milk supply. I’m drinking plenty of water and I’m eating foods but less I’m taking the food I’m eating because I’ve changed my diet. Yeah she’s still drinking which is good, but I feel like I’ve been giving her more formula than breastmilk, which I don’t want.

First jabs

My baby has her first jabs in 29th 😭 those that have already been through it... how long were your little ones poorly for afterwards? We're off on our first little holiday the week after so just trying to plan ahead. Thanks
