How does your toddler act ?

Pls help me. What does your toddler act like? How crazy are they? Do they listen to you? Do they jump off everything? Do they run away when out walking? Do they find it funny to hurt you and siblings ?

I’m asking as my toddler 2.5yo is wild and I’ve rung and booked an appointment with the health visitor to get help, but I’m unsure if she’s just acting out with ‘terrible twos’ or if this is more leaning towards ADHD?

Any help you can give me will help me understand if she’s acting ‘normal’

I hope that makes sense

She is sensory seeking which we are aware of already, so maybe it could be an issue with that also.

I honestly think this is all normal. I would say my little boy is very crazy and doesn’t listen to me a lot of the time. The answers to all the other questions are definitely yes!

ok thank you! That’s what I wanted to hear, I keep being pushed towards adhd, which I’m not ruling out but it all sounds normal ish to me 😞

Out of interest who is pushing towards ADHD? I would say at this age very normal toddler behaviour

a few health visitors are saying it, and also my nan! X

I feel like grandparents can be very old fashioned. Health visitors can be very hit and miss too. I’m sure it will all work out for the best though either way x

My twins are a yes to all these questions. Love them but they are both a nightmare at times haha x

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?

Breastfeeding

Does it ever feel better? The actual feeding part of it is going really well and baby boy is growing so well. I’m struggling with how my boobs feel day to day - it’s really getting me down most days. The let downs make me feel awful and sounds silly but, I am also really missing not wearing a bra! 9 weeks postpartum and still getting fairly engorged, even with comfort pumping.

Any advice or just shared stories would help. I’m so torn between carrying on because I enjoy the feeding side of it or switching to formula.

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😢💗

Big nursing bras!

I’m looking for recommendations for good nursing bras for bigger breasted ladies!

I’m currently in a 38H which seems to be the biggest size done at M&S (UK based mama here) and it’s snug and not as supportive as I’d like. When I look online, they mainly seem to be sized S, M, L, XL etc rather than bra sizes.

Any recommendations please?

Strange question

Hello. I would identify myself as asexual but yes i am married and i have a child. But now that ive had my baby. I think its solidified that im done having sex. I feel bad as my partner keeps asking me but i just dont want to. Any advice on what i can do? Any other asexual moms out there? I guess this could be confusing but im not huge on being bound by a label. I have just always felt it represented me best since highschool.
