I am going to be flying with my 4 month old baby soon... do they make travel size desitin (3 ounce container)? If so, where can I get it? If not, will security let me bring a full size tube on the plane?

I am currently breastfeeding my 4 week old son. I woke up yesterday feeling miserable like I had the flu. Body aches, chills, and a headache so bad that I couldn't open my eyes. My left breast was obviously engourged and had a faint red blotchy line from my nipple outward.. by mid-afternoon I had a fever and called my doctor. She determined I have mastitis and prescribed me some antibiotics. I have been taking them 24 hours now and although I feel better as far as the flu like symptoms my breast is still engourged and now the entire left side is RED and quite tender.
So my question to anyone that has taken antibiotics for mastitis, how long after the antibiotics did the redness and engourgement start improving?

Hi, I was wondering, how much control can you have over when your baby sleeps and feeds? Can you train/adjust a baby into cycles that fit into your routine better? I ask this because when I plan to start a family I will likely be a working mom, and I already function so poorly with disrupted sleep as it is. Does anyone have any good ideas? I am terrified that I will fail as a mom and holding my career together if I can't maintain my wellbeing. I want to be a great mom, but also successful in my job. My husband also works full time.

And is it possible to use a combination of formula and breast-feeding or only one? I would want to go back to work after 6 months but want to breastfeed for longer if possible. If one isn't successful with expressing, is it possible to breastfeed only in the evening/night and formula-feed by day?

I'm rather clueless about babies, but want to know what I'm getting myself into before I go down that path. Any insight would be much appreciated.
