Toddler tantrums!?

Hello ladies! I have a 1.5 year old little boy. He has been having a lot of tantrums lately! I also have been trying to limit screen time. Any ideas or tips on how to handle these? Letting him cry it out makes me feel bad so I’m not too sure on what to do! TYIA 🙏🏻

We are on the same boat. I usually sit on the floor to be at his level and offer a hug. He will come to me and the tantrum stops. I just hug him and use comforting words and or correction words. Ex. We do not throw things please bring it to me. I know you are up set. it's ok or just embrace n say nothing. I also was weening him off the paci and now he is back to using it more often. 1.5 has been a challenge. 😅 Tell me it gets better! Can't wait till 2! lol

Some days are tougher than others! What ive noticed is we do best with zero screentime or super minimal like less than 15 minutes per day. And lots of outside time to get energy out and to be allowed to explore independently without being told "you can't touch this, you can't do that" etc. But also some days are just awash and you try again the next day 😅

Same here! I just got some feeling posters off Etsy for $ 2 and am going to laminate them so we can show him he’s feeling angry and when he’s calm/happy again we can go back to playing/ going about his day but throwing is not okay. Just trying to make it visual for him with the feelings he has but doesnt yet understand. Not sure how it will go though. Wish us luck lol

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. 🥺

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? 🥲

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?

Baby with chronic congestion

Hi everyone! My 1 year has been a congested baby since birth almost. She breathes through her mouth so often that it wakes her up multiple times at night and she cries and screams and then struggles to go back to sleep. She wakes up every 1-3 hours and sometimes can’t go back to sleep for 2-3 hours!!! Piriton is the only thing that seems to help her sleep mostly through the night but I can’t keep giving her that!!
Does anyone have tips as to have I can do or give her? Has anyone experienced? I have no idea when I’ll get an ENT appointment and I have no idea what he can give a 13 mo :( we are desperate for sleep so any tips are welcome!! We have tried steam inhalation, saline drops, vapour rubs and everything off the counter basically!

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?
