Constipation in 4 month old

Hey hoping someone might be able to offer up some advice. My little boy is almost 4 months old, he has been EBF however due to illness he’s not partly on formula (he also has CMPA so on special formula) he only has around 1/2 bottles a day but is suffering from constipation. He has spent the last couple of hours almost none stop crying. Any advice on how to get this poo moving, I feel so bad for him and really guilty. He is now basically BF and then topped up with 1 or 2 bottles a day for the last 3 days

Toddler abusing me :((

Girrrlll, ladiess how do we deal with our toddler hitting us ? Currently my head is buzzing bc my son decided to hit me in the head with a heavy ass tub of cream , but its a non stop occurrence... Last night as we were going to sleep, all quiet , randomly BAM a heavy slap that actually burned my cheek... Ive been doing gentle parenting , saying " no, its not nice " lets be gentle like this *showing how to gently caress someone s face* ... idk what to do anymore... If I can see something coming, I'll stop it before he actually hits me ...but sometimes its just rlly random.. pls help 😔😔

Formula feeding mums

I’m a formula feeding mum never tried breast feeding as I know it would over stimulate me. Does any other formula feeding mums feel judged sometimes for not breastfeeding or even trying to breast feeding?

Sleeping

How’s everyone’s baby’s sleeping? Feel like my little boy is inconsistent. He’s 10 weeks and I try to put him to bed around 6-7pm each night x

Anyone else

Anybody else get woken up by their limited edition 4 month old pterodactyl alarm clock? My son decided at 2 and 3 as well as 4 am was a great time to use his lungs.

Do you validate your toddlers feelings all the time?

I see so many posts about validating a toddlers feelings, and curious to know if other moms agree with it or disagree. I don't agree with it because they should start learning early on their emotions should match the situation.

Normal toddler behaviour or more to it?

My son is almost 3 and so emotional over everything, he wanted his tractor pyjamas on so I put them on, then he wanted his lightening McQueen PJs on and had a full on meltdown because he was in tractors like he asked, then he asked to go outside, he went outside and cried saying he wanted inside, so he came inside then cried when I shut the door as he couldn’t go outside.

He constantly doesn’t have a clue what he actually wants, moving from toy to toy, room to room, he’s super stubborn with everything.

It’s exhausting and frustrating 😂🙈
