Need to vent 😀 hopefully this will give you a smile at least

I am SO overstimulated.
My toddler has just been balls to the wall since 5am, living room looks like a bombs hit it, there's toast crusts on the floor that hes refusing to pick up and I'm trying to breastfeed my 3 month old. I'm also holding a soggy banana skin that my toddler has given me. Then the baby will not stop popping on and off the boob and throwing herself backward so she can see what my toddler is doing, she'll do 2 sucks and then come off. It's just on, off, on, off, milk is spraying everywhere, my top is wet, she's covered in milk. While this is happening my toddler keeps trying to hand me plastic vegetables and make me pretend to eat them, I'm tangled up in my dressing gown because I sat down in a rush to feed the baby, I've left my cup of tea in the kitchen so that's bloody cold now too. And to top it all off, my toddlers done a poo and I'm nap trapped with the baby πŸ’©πŸ‘πŸ»
I feel awful because I just want everyone to leave me alone for 2 minutes!!! Is it acceptable to shut your children outside in the garden like a dog?? πŸ€”πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ (Kidding obviously)
Lord give me strength, it's only half past 7 πŸ™πŸ»

Overstimulation at its finest honestly, bless you Stay strong mama! πŸ’ͺ🏼 sometimes you just need to take yourself in a empty room to get yourself back to together πŸ˜… or even sneak a treat and eat it in peace even if its the toilet πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

I get you though. Its tough, i feel like this every single day this week but mine are 1&2 and i just want to scream sometimes, theyre absolutely adorable but its constant mum mummm mum and yes handing the playfood whilst tackling other things at once, one kicks their dinner over or runs off, you give them a treat and it ends up all over the sofa and carpets, and both tend to want the same thing at the same TIME 😩 im even looking for a robot hoover to give me a break from lugging henry about but then theyll just tackle she shxt out of that and end up falling off it or something. Lol!!

Motherhoods a long overwhelming roller coaster full of good & bads and each day are going to be different, stay strong your doing amazing, inbox is open if you want to vent β™₯️

Urgh that's a terrible morning! I really hope the day has improved by now! I have days like this with my 2.5 year old and 10 month old! It's alot! This might cheer you up, I dared to pop a bit of fake tan on this morning for a wedding at the weekend - you know when you just want to try and look nice for a change rather than covered in baby sick 🀣 Ten mins later I'm sat playing with my toddler when my 10 month old crawls over and is climbing all over me, blowing raspberries on my leg, I pick him up and his whole face is orange where the fake tan from my legs has rubbed off onto his face.....and it won't come off 🀣🀣🀣 Plus my legs are now so patchy πŸ€£πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. πŸ₯Ί

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? πŸ₯²

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated πŸ₯°
