First child jealous of baby

Anyone else experiencing the same? I know it’s totally normal for a child to get jealous when a new baby comes along but I feel like my little girl is getting worse. My baby is almost 7 weeks now and my first born just really wants to hurt him she is 3 1/2. Pulling his fingers, trying to bite his hands, constantly prodding and poking him, purposely shouts in his face when he’s sleeping. I’m fed up of constantly telling her. We got her a gift from the baby when we first came home from the hospital, she still has a lot of 1 on 1 time with me/dad and other family members. I also try and do activities with the two of them together when I can for example bathtime now and again and reading stories with them. There are times where she’s happy to help me change him/help feed etc but she soon gets bored and just finds things to do to annoy him. Help!

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?

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 🥰
