    d a breast operation 5 years ago,in which a painless lump (non cancerous)was removed from my left side breast ,I was just 18 then. coincidentally I have an appointment of baby's immunization tomorrow,I intend to tell the doctor. but before then pls is it safe to breastfeed my baby like this, as he is currently sleeping now, I wonder what I should give him, I am scared of knowing that I have a lump in a breast my baby is sucking..I am very confused pls anyone in here to advice me please… I have a history of cancer in my family,my maternal grandmother lost one of her breast to cancer,though she was operated…does my lump have anything to do with breastfeeding? can baby's be affected through breast sucking?

  6. Since the lump is not painful, maybe you continue to feed the baby until tomorrow when you'll see a Doctor. It might become too full and engorged if you don't let baby suck. Try to see your Doc ASAP.

  7. Helle, ask Kitchen ware shops for a vegetable trolley. It's where you keep your perishables like onion and potatoes with different layers.
    Maybe you Google it. Just like where Salons keep different sizes of hair rollers and pins.

  8. My dear, I know the flies you've just described. They are very tiny and irritating as well cos you have to be smart to kill them. They usually come in through window nets. Just ensure your foods are covered to avoid poisoning.
