I have a gorgeous 10 week old who has ever been a fan of sleep. The only day he has is the day after his jabs! He’s always fallen asleep on my boob and the last weekish I’ve been putting him in bed with me (safely) from 5am so I can actually get some partial shut eye. He’s such a lovely happy little baby all smiles so I’m certain he’s getting enough sleep but some will say I’ve made a rod for my own back - he’ll only sleep when I’m feeding, walking around or lying with him. I’ve tried near on every dummy on the market and he won’t have it, just wants to comfort feed. I get nothing done! I do understand though that he’s only tiny And wanting mummys love is hardly a bad thing or out of the question and I love it too I just need to clean got 5 minutes.
Also I mostly feed from the left as daddy sleeps on the right side of the bed and it’s easier for me and baby. This morning my right boob felt like it had been run over! Feels so bruised, leaking when it normally doesn’t and huge rock hard lumps. So painful to feed I’ve done heat packs warm shower paracetamol and ibuprofen to no help. also developed reddish pink blotches on the boob - mastitis worry?
