Baby falling

I feel awful and can’t get it out of my head, i was somewhere yesterday with my baby where it was gym mat like flooring, everyone was giving my baby cuddles when then she got put in her car seat just to settle down before we headed home, nobody had strapped her in and someone had moved her (the handle wasn’t locked nor was she strapped) it wasn’t lifted very high but she fell out and face planted the floor :(
she has abit of a red mark on her nose and a little bruise (isn’t broken) and had an instant swelled lip but has completely gone now.
Safe to say i will be checking her myself in future, unsure why im writing this suppose i just have major mum guilt and need to get it off my chest as family just keep bringing it up 😔

Advice

Hi I had a really hardcore traumatic birth on Wednesday evening which resulted in emergency c section after nearly 24 in labour and an infection, since leaving surgery I am staying in for a few days but my baby has decided she will only cluster feed each night and morning then contact nap obviously during this I don’t sleep because safe sleeping but this is killing me I am already so exhausted from the surgery my partner has tried helping but he’s also absolutely drained

Urghh!

My 10 month old was just stirring in his cot and my husband walked in the room after work and went near him staring at him and he woke up completely, he asked if he can take him to bed which at this time i usually do anyway, then I change nappy usually and feed and he falls asleep. But because he saw him he got hyped up and now it’s been awake for an hour and half and just gone to sleep but my husband fell asleep long before snoring away! I’m so freaking mad! It’s nearly 3am

Older child copying younger

I’ve a 29 month old. Speech is so good, she sings and she communicates so well.

I’ve also a 9 month old, she does mama dada but also obviously loads of baby noises.

29mo has started to copy baby, using less and less words. Which is driving me crazy.

Is this normal???

How many poos a day?

My baby is nearly 8-weeks old and is combination fed, but mainly BF (1-2 bottles of formula a day). Baby seems to now only poop twice a day - is this normal?

Not sure whether to continue in the Marriage

I have been with my husband for 5 years and married for 2 years in September. We have always been close and pretty much best friends but also had loads of issues surrounding heated arguments as a result of him being self defensive or not acknowledging when he has done something to upset me. We have had so many heated arguments resulting in me having panic attacks infront of him because of him denying he's doing things to upset me and literally refusing to admit his wrongs. The reason it is important to me that he acknowledges and admits is so that it doesn't keep happening over and over again and I'm left having to ruin my mental health just accepting it. We've had conversations countless tomes where in the end he will always admit where he went wrong but that is once he caused me hyperventilation, panic attacks, lashing out and kicking him out. He's said over and over again he will do better with admitting and acknowledging but years later, here we are dealing with the same issue but now we have a baby in the middle of it. I have high blood pressure and all of this is making it so much worse and I keep telling him but he never makes permanent change and Always fails to admit in the moment. Guys, I'm absolutely heart broken because I put my whole life into this relationship and have given up my career and my opportunity to move abroad for work opportunities, we've moved 2 hours away from family and friends so I have no support system and not sure how I'll support myself and my son without him but I can't cope with this much longer. It seems I'm fighting for something he's not and it hurts so bad because it's my fault for giving him so many chances. Has anyone else been through this? What would you suggest? Thanks in advance

12 months - formula

Baby just turned 12 months but does not eat enough meals to stop formula. Only interested in few bites here and there. Anyone else going through this and staying in formula for a bit?

How many days can you stand a visit from your mother?

Would also be interested in whether she visits often or rarely!

Sleepover pressure

Hey mamas

Looking for some advice here as to whether I am being overbearing…

My son is 4 years old and I also have an 8 month old daughter. My MIL has been pressurising for my son to sleepover since about 2 years old.

I have never felt comfortable with my son staying out, partly due to breastfeeding and co-sleeping but also as I have experienced abuse from a family member in childhood.

Now my son sleeps independently I am feeling an immense pressure, I have explained I will feel more comfortable with it in a few years when my son and daughter can go together and they are a little older but she’s just not getting the message. She’s even started planning with my son for when he comes to stay saying things like ‘what will we have for our midnight snack?’ And ‘grandad will have to sleep on the sofa so you can sleep with nana’ this is driving me absolutely nuts as she knows how I feel and I feel she’s trying to manipulate the situation by getting my son excited.

The question is how do I approach this? I know I’m not comfortable with it and he’s my child so my rules and shouldn’t have to justify myself but don’t want to fall out with her or cause a problem. We get on well otherwise but she’s making me feel like I’m ruining her experience as a grandmother😟 anyone had similar or any advice?

Thanks!!
