Does anyone else toddler a Monster??

Yesterday i hid in my walkin closet for 30 mins with a bottle of wine. My 2 year old doesn't listen and is very clingy . I'm a first time mom and single mom. She cries all the time when we go out and throws tantrums. So i never want to take her out in public. So we are stuck in the house. Maybe i catch her on a good day but that is rare. I miss my sweet angel baby. Now i dread coming home from work because she is always getting into things,cryin, not listening, throwing tantrums , or super clingy. Im 1000% over stimulated. Has anyone dealt with this?

Yes I have , my 3yo daughter has had tantrums since she was 1yo now she’s 3 going to be 4 . It’s just the toddler stage as they call it it does exist trust me ! I know it’s overwhelming all you can do hold her maybe she feels neglected with girls they feel like that . With my daughter even now I don’t like going anywhere also and even at Wic appointments especially she still throws tantrums but I do spank her and I tell her no a lot , she just started talking to where now I can understand her . Your daughter is 2? Throwing tantrums I wanna say the tantrums probably won’t go away until maybe she’s 5 then they become different like talking back , since she’s so small now she can’t speak yet so her emotions are all over the place , all u can do I still talk to her nice play with her with toys bribe her give her lollipops I’m not a fan of candy but the lollipops do help and I’m in the middle of potty training I will tell you it gets better love that baby because she loves you 💜

I know it can be overwhelming but please make sure your daughter is safe. 30 mins seems like a lot. Especially children at the age they will get into anything. My 21 month old is also very clingy and wants to be held most of the time. It helps when we sit down on the floor and just start playing (legos , reading books play dough etc). I hope it gets easier for you ♥️

I think all toddlers are like this, not that it makes it any easier. I definitely get over stimulated. There are lots of books and social media accounts on toddler behavior and managing it all. You might find some tips you can try.

its tough. My mental health is declining so much because we cant even go out. It all started when she was 2. Before that we were always out having fun just her and I. She'll be 3 in November

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Crying during feeding

Hey mams! My girl is 6 weeks on Monday and is having so much trouble with feeding. It doesn’t happen every feed but more often than not she will start a bottle and just start crying as if she’s in pain and she can’t take the milk. I think it’s trapped wind but I genuinely don’t know what to do it’s so pitiful to see her not be able to feed! She’s formula fed and on HiPP Organic.
Anyone else been in this position? I’m pretty sure it’s just a bit of trapped wind that she needs to fart out but can’t! If anyone has any advice I’d be very grateful as I think I may need to tape my eyelids open soon 😂

No more naps! 10 month old

For a few days now my 10m old has fought her 2 daily naps. Normally her wake windows were 3-4 hours and she is now eventually napping after a 6 hour wake window. Today was only one nap, she skipped the second one. Used to nap like clockwork so I’m wondering if anyone else is experiencing this? Also very unsettled most nights and doesn’t sleep well at all
