Toddler tantrums

I am really struggling with my 19 month old, the tantrums are horrible. How are you dealing with your toddler when they throw a tantrum over not getting what they want? 😔

With great difficulty! 🙈 also got a 19 month old. Best thing I’ve found is just distraction. But this time of year when routine is out the window etc I think it’s been a lot worse xx

Omg same!! It's not a joke it's actually ridiculous how she acts I keep describing it like she's being hit with the exorcism because my god!! Shes terrible! Sod the terrible 2s it can't get much worse than this!

I am truly praying this is as bad as it gets. It really is like an exorcism, the sound that my little one makes is truly awful. I worry so much that I’ve done something to allow it to get this bad. My MIL kindly told me how none of her children did this when they were younger which has just made me feel like a total failure. It’s all just too much, along with illnesses constantly and teething on top, I feel like my happy baby is gone for good, it’s just absolutely exhausting 😔

My mum and MIL have both said none of us were as bad as my son but to be honest I think they forget how bad it could be. (Even I forget sometimes when he’s being good again until it happens again!)

I did recently have a really bad spell of time because he was ill which made it extra bad but luckily once he was better he went back to normal - still tantrums all the time but not as bad as it was. It’s so normal at this age, they just don’t know how to regulate their emotions. If you can try to stay calm and just distract them with something else. It’s SO hard in the moment though x

My little one is the same. I'm finding it hard to deal with.
I'm trying to distract him but doesn't always work

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7
