BF - I swear by Lansinoh. It's thick and soothing and you don't need to worry about washing it off before a feed. I agree also that applying some breastmilk and letting them air dry. It does get better Hun, I promise xx

We started ear drops last night with Ellie and she seems a little more settled. We got a 4hr and 3hr block of sleep last night and she is settling quite quickly. Still she had quite a lot of white creamy discharge coming out of her ear. I guess I'll find out on Monday what the treatment plan is after we get the culture results back. She also has an infected finger which my dad had a look at today (he just happens to be a hand surgeon!) and he said to continue to use betadine drops and only change the dressing once a day. It looks so painful though.. Really really bad

Anywho, we will persist and revisit next week if it's still the same.
