Rebecca , I’m sure you’re scrolling here whilst hiding in bed. You think you have mastitis but your not totally sure, well can I point you in the direction of that ridiculous app you use that shows your baby girl is only awake for an hour overnight and feeds for approximately 6 minutes at a time… you were very smug about this at the time but to many of us it should just have said said ‘mastitis waiting to happen’.
I think the point of the app is for you to track feeds, sleep etc so you can then use the visuals in front of you to make a judgement as to whether or not this appropriate for age and stage of babynot to use the visuals for narcissistic reasons to show ‘what a good job you’re doing’.
Put the phone down Rebecca, be an adult, be a parent and look after those children. Also there is no need to cancel friends visits … they should be able to still come and sit on the bed too and care for you if you are unwell (well that’s what my friends would do)!
P.S I am fully aware that mastitis can happen to any breastfeeding Mum and also non-breastfeeding Men and Woman so I don’t think it can always be prevented.
