Awesome Nickers, yeah scary when there isn't a buzzer or a midwife to call, hehe. You & he will work it out, if not, there's lots of advice available, our local child health clinic helped me get us on track.

Theresa, I heard they have growth spurts at around 3wks & 6wks & that they will feed every 2hrs or so then, so assume they meant every 3wks. Funny the diff advice we all get. At least u know it's all normal. :-)

Oh dear Sooz, mastitis. The midwife at our hosp said when u feel hard/sore lumps in bb's to massage them whilst feeding/expressing/showering as it's a blocked milk duct, and to make sure bub/expresser empties the boob so older milk doesn't cause an infection & lead to mastitis (red area). Also that when someone does get mastitis that it's important to get to a GP asap as it can potentially put u in hosp, so if its a wkend not to wait til Mon. And the best way to help get rid of it is to keep feeding/expressing, but I'd imagine that would be quite painful though. Hope u work it out & manage to get rid of it.

Lisa, hope the aptmt went well.
