Toddler obsessed with closing doors!

Is anyone’s toddles obsessed with closing doors?? Like today we went to a relatives house and they had the door open as they were bringing food and drinks etc in but my LO just kept shutting the door!

I tried to distract him but the minute the door was left open, he’d go and close it!

Is this normal toddler behaviour?

Yes! When my son decides he’s had enough of you, he goes to the door, says “bye bye”, blows a kiss and shuts the door behind him 🤣 definitely isn’t afraid to show he’s finished with the conversation 🤣

Normal behaviour, think they’re getting into their problem solving phase! She has to open and close all of the doors, and stick our house keys in every “key-looking” hole there is.

Lol ok, glad to see it’s not just my child! Like everywhere we go, he just wants the door to be closed!

Hopefully it’s just a phase (another one!)) and they’ll grow out it soon!

We used to keep the bedroom door closed especially when my partner used to do nights. Now my tiny monster closes every single door in the house. No matter who's house is that. If he could he would just go into everyone's home, close the doors then bugger off to the next 😂

😂 they are so funny! My LO is exactly the same. He’ll be playing quietly then notice the door open and run and close. I need to get some door guards!

Yes! Even baby gates too. We have one on our living room and sometimes my older 2 kids will accidentally leave it open. Baby scoots over super fast and shuts it for them. Sometimes she will go through it and shut it behind her like shes trying to stop you being able to get her back in the room 😂

Doors she also does, but not as much. She won't shut those completely though, just pushes them until they're open a little bit.

Yes ! Mine is exactly the same he hates doors being open 🤣🤣

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? 🥲

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.

Did I overreact?

I have had 3 c sections, recently had a wisdom teeth removal (4) to be exact and all my mom did was visit the day BEFORE and then she only sent 1 text. She has NEVER spent one full day with me and doesn’t acknowledge my achievements much. She just isn’t there when I need her to be. She claims she’s always working but she lives like 7 minutes away! she can come help with the kids so my husband can have break? we don’t ask her for much and she only sees the kids 1-2 a month. She also didn’t visit with my last c section. I told her that she should’ve gotten the abortion when she had the chance with me because why would you have me and neglect me emotionally? To not actually give me a present father in my life. I am very angry all she does is disappoint me. She only wants to show up for certain people in the family and I just want to grab her and shake her and ask her why can’t she be a good present mother?
