Cast off and now son is crying constantly

So my 2 year old son got his cast off Friday and they said it looked good and that it he should be able to walk on it soon, but he could be sore and have some stiffness. However, he seems to just be crying constantly and every time he does try to walk he will fall and cry for a long period of time. Is this normal? I know he’s suppose to be sore, but it seems like more then sore to me.

My son was in a lot of pain when his cast first came off too. He was 4 and able to express what he was feeling. It was his arm and he actually wore a sling for a bit after the cast came off to try to help him some. He wouldn’t want to bend his arm at all. We were told it was normal also. We were given some physical therapy exercises to do and told to take Tylenol or ibuprofen.

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. 🥺

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?

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? 🥲

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?
