Refusing milk?

My son is refusing his morning bottle I don’t get why? I even waited two hours after he woke up and he still refused he keeps spitting it out?
I would give him porridge or toast but I feel like he needs his milk first then I usually after a nap which is an hour ish at 10am give him food
It’s now his nap time and he’s tired but still doesn’t want it he’ll drink s little then spit it out??
It’s really stressing me out
His top tooth cut through and I can see his other tooth as well but he seems fine within himself just refusing milk so violently idk what to do

My little girl refuses her bedtime bottle now (she’s on solids now though so I think that might be why) I give her cool boiled water with a little bit of juice and she takes that. He might just be thirsty and the weather definitely doesn’t help with getting baby’s to have there milk.

How old is your son? X

Maybe do food first?

My boy has breakfast at about 7am and then is ready for milk about 9:00 - 10:00

The weather isnt helping either, the other day I gave him a carton of pre made milk because i thought it would be better than just made formula. He enjoyed that

I’ve tried this but he ends up not drinking his milk and only having 4/5oz which is less than what he’s meant to have ☹️

he’s 8 months and he ajd his breakfast happily but is refusing anything to do with milk might just give water instead. It was going so well and he’d have 27/8oz and 2 meals and now I’m worried he’ll wake up a lot more durin night 😵‍💫🥲

It could just be a phase. And babies do drop milk feeds as they continue to eat solids. My LB has 3 bottles in a day. I'd say the shortest amount of time he goes without milk is like 6 hours now.

I was advised that if a baby starts to want more milk feeds in the night to give them water in their cot, and then slowly they will stop waking up (I've not tried it myself, ask a HV about it maybe)

Help!!!

Am I wrong if I secide to stop doing baths etc for my little ones. We have a 3 and 1 year old. I do all the baths wake up in ams cooking etc. I dont want them to be dirty but it's like I need a break and Im tired of doing it all by myself. He will come up and help after they are out the tub every now and then and that pisses me off. Im taking care of 2 littles one by myself makes no sense. I asked him to give them baths tonight he said I worked all day what did you do...ive had the children all day. We went to church he didn't go. We all know how little ones are.. but what should I do bcus it feels like I'm going crazy

Heartbreak

After years of trying, months of back and fourth on the fate of our marriage, indecision, fights. The whole enchilada my husband and I are separating, divorcing. Whatever. I'm so goddamn heart broken. I feel like it's a death and I'm in mourning. We have a 3 year old son and currently and for the foreseeable we are going to coparent and live together. This makes things harder because neither one of us can really move on but it's how it is. He understands and he's trying to heal too. But I can't understand why now that things are over he can be kind. He's been more amazing in the last week since I ended things than ever. Why couldn't he do that when we were together for years I begged for change, we saw a counselor I tried everything and he just wouldn't. Now he seems to turn a switch and be able to just do it all. But it's too late. My heart aches. My body aches. Love sucks.

Partner works incredibly long hours, how much do they help out?

I'm struggling. Have been for a while. I've had one break from parenting my daughter, that was for 3 hours in December when I left her with her dad.

She's 14 months old and I'm just tired. I've done every night by myself. He's out of bed at 4am and doesn't get home until 7-9pm. He drives for work, very physically tiring.
On the weekends he was doing 6 days, one weekend day off, but now has both off.

He doesn't sit on the floor and play with her, he doesn't read to her because he says she doesn't have the patience.
He will pick her up and hold her whilst he's cooking.

Recently I've been "snappy" with him.
He got back from the mechanic last weekend, she was getting onto the sofa and he put his headphones on and started to watch Netflix on his phone.
The same day I told him I was going to run her bath and to watch her whilst she was still eating, he fell asleep on the sofa.

Today he went to football after going shopping, so was out 1-3 and then from 4-8.
He got back and I was snappy.

"I don't get why you're so snappy with me"

I said - Probably because I haven't had a break since December.

"Do you think I don't know you haven't had a break. I haven't had a break", "I just won't go to work, I'll sit at home all day".

Then "do you think I like not having a connection to my child"... But that's on him? He never sits to play with her. He "doesn't see the point". He's stated that this age is boring to him.

Since she's been born, he has been to a friend's once a month. Football - He stopped going for 7months, but has been the last two weekends.

Are these not breaks?

He does do the washing/washing up/cooking/vacuuming when I haven't had a chance to; but I'm the one in charge of feeding her, naps/bedtime, teeth brushing, hair brushing, baths, dressing her, making sure she has the right shoes, appointments etc. Everything falls on me.

If your partner works ridiculously long hours, how much do they look after your child? Do you ever get a break?

Am I wrong ?

My daughter’s 1st birthday was Thursday and nobody wished her a happy birthday from her dads family but his mom watched his story. Should I put my foot down and set boundaries for them to accept accountability or should I just let them stay on that side for as long as they want and not worry about it?

Tv good or bad

My 4 month old loves TV shows especially dancing fruits and baby TV is this a good thing or a bad thing at this age?

Hi mummas! I need help with potty training?

My daughter is 4 years old, she will be turning 5 this November. I’ve tried everything I can think of, to help her and encourage her. I’ve tried bribing, I’ve tried sticker charts, I’ve tried buying her underwear of her choice— nothing. She’s suspected autistic. She will not try. She will sit on the potty at nursery for a few minutes and that’s it! At home, nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated 🎀✨
