Thank you all so much for the support & encouragement. I'm feeling much better today and have now decided to change our feeding routine to see if that helps clear up the mastitis once and for all. I was feeding on just one side each feed because I had such a large milk supply, but I'm now trying to feed off both sides each feed and we'll see what happens. I'm a bit worried I won't be emptying the boobs fully but have expressed a bit after some of the feeds and all is going well so far. My bbs feel sooo much more comfortable too as they're not getting as full. I'm praying this works and we can get through it all.
Luke was great last night. He fed at 6pm, then went down at about 7.30pm and slept till 11pm. Fed again at 11pm, got to bed at midnight and he didn't wake until 4am. Then to my surprise, he went down again and didn't wake until 8am!!! What a champion. I hope it stays that way. He hasn't slept much since but hay, as long as he sleeps at night!!!
I'm at Mums for the night as Ryann is out at a work conference, so it will be interesting to see if Luke sleeps well in a new environment. I hope he does but if not, at least Mum is here to help!!
