Are you away in the UK? As you could call 111 if so and they may be able to help.
I had an infection in a cut on my nipple that turned nasty very quickly into mastitis. Yours might be absolutely fine, so I don't say that to scare you!! But if there's puss you want to make sure an infection doesn't set in.

Agree 111 can get you an emergancy appointment with a gp in the area where you are mastitis is nasty and needs antibiotics to clear it i had it three times

Just a positive note…

Everyone warned me about the first three months being very demanding and difficult but now that we have overcome, I want to share that you will sleep again, you’ll start to enjoy routines and their smiles get bigger so it makes it all worth it 😀

Please check this message for me.

Without providing any context I know it's hard, but my husband and I are in a bad place. I want to repair things. Please just check this and see if it's fair/makes sense/is clear about my intention?

Naps in bedroom cot

When did you start to put them in their cot in their own bedroom for daytime naps?

Sleeping through night?

Just out of curiosity when did your LOs start sleeping through the night?
I know sleep regressions exist and each baby is different but wondering if there is some kind of average.
Our LO is 6 weeks and goes between 3-5h at night, aware there is still a way to go!

Baby carrier??

Please can any recommend a good carrier, my little girl is 4 months old, I want one with good neck support so I don’t have the hold her head from bobbing about so much when she falls asleep if that makes sense. I currently have a baby bjorn & I hate it. I need one with good back support also!! Thanks 😊😊

Daytime naps

My little one is five months old and she refuses to sleep during the day. If we manage to get her down she’s either in the pram or after a feed. At night she feeds and then sleeps but wakes after an hour and a half to feed again or screams. Her wake windows can be over four hours long. I know that’s too long and I’m exhausted and emotional. Any advice would be appreciated.
