May 2023 Babies 🇨🇦

My two year old started calling one of the daycare teachers "Mom". They have told my husband and myself. I always give a short "oh" answer. One tried to explain her kid has one too. Another day a different teacher did that she called her "Mama (teachers name)". As a working mom I find this very upsetting. I don't like confrontation but feel like I need to let them know I don't appreciate those stories.

Am I being too sensitive? Should I say something?

I recently found out that I am pregnant (unplanned). My first born is almost 2 and I have registered him for the day care since I planned to return to work after he gets the final spot confirmation.

Now that the circumstances have changed & I may/may not find a suitable job quickly I might have to stay at home for longer.

What do you all suggest? Should I put him in day care & get some time for myself maybe do an online course & give myself some rest? OR

Keep my toddler with me, save some $$

Also I have seen so many friends kids getting sick every other week in the 1st year of day care so I am worried about that too. Will it be okay for me and then the newborn to be exposed to so many viruses?

Pls suggest. Thank you so much in advance.

I think I might need more than just counselling. I feel like my life isn’t in my control anymore, at all. I feel like I’m paying my counsellor to be a listening ear because no one else wants to listen to what I have to say. My husband is tired of hearing me say how I feel and gets angry at me. If I tell someone from back home, they just tell me to leave then. I don’t know what I’m doing anymore. I just wait for nap time so I can waste time sleeping and get the day over with. I go to bed early for the same reason. I’m not interested in anything I use to enjoy anymore. Books, exercise, crafts, movies. I scroll mindlessly on my phone, checking nonesense emails and ads on fb instead of being present with my daughter. I don’t remember the last time I felt happy. I haven’t left the house in weeks and no one has noticed. I hate talking on the phone to family members and having them ask the same questions. It’s mind numbing. I feel like my daughter is very bored of me.

I need some suggestions mamas my son is 18 months he use to eat solids great! A month ago he stopped and it’s been a struggle he has three bottles in 24 hours and he’s drinking other liquids but as far as food goes a bite here or there he’s pooping and peeing .

Very clingy to only me . I no with the combo of his ears and being sick and teeth it’s Probley all of it 😞

Hi mamas!

I really need your help I don’t know what to do. My son is 18 months and won’t eat any solid food other than fries and frozen cucumbers on occasion. I started BLW at 6 months and he was doing great, nights was milk breakfast was solids lunch was milk and solids and dinner was soup. After 2 months he completely stopped solids all together. Now its a battle for soup (which is highly nutritious but not enough in my opinion) the first spoon is ww3 and after he finishes the bowl completely. His weight and growth is going great but I just feel like he’s not eating enough. If I don’t give him his milk or soup with a battle he will literally not ask for food. This same child also cries like crazy when he finishes his soup or milk but refuses more.
