Getting angry

Does anyone else’s child just get really angry over literally anything and everything? I really don’t know what to do, if something isn’t right, she doesn’t like it or doesn’t go her way etc she gets so angry instantly and will hit, throw things, crush things (like food). She will hit me or herself or whatever it is that has annoyed her. I’m so worried about her starting school in September as she struggles so much to regulate her emotions!

Fml yes. Thank goodness I’m not alone!!

Yes! The meltdowns are insane at the moment. Even over things like if he’s building a lego tower and it falls down he goes mad.

Does she go to nursery? And if so do you know if she like this there? That’s the only thing that reassures me, I’ve asked and he’s nothing like this at nursery so assuming he’ll be the same at school 🤞

Oliver has started angry growling at me. Will scratch and nip me. Fortunately doesn't last long. He starts to cry and say sorry. Feels like a life time in the moment though.
He angry glared at a child at nursery because he didn't want to share. He did when teacher asked him too but that resulted in him getting bitten on the hand by this child :(
I'm worried for school too. He did go through a tough couple weeks in nursery with not listening. Couple melt downs. They've had to be a bit stern but he seems to have settled down so it's just me who gets the brunt of everything again haha xx

Yes, my daughter is the same, nursery have said it's totally normal for their age as she's trying to figure out all her emotions and trying to figure out how to regulate them.

Yep same here. It's always worse when she's tired, when sometimes everything seems to be wrong! It's either burst into tears or try to hit everyone...
I'm hoping she'll be able to do longer without sleeping by September so should be calmer by school time?!

yeah she goes to nursery and she is the same there too, probably more “worse” for me when she’s at home, but she is definitely like it at nursery too

Injury at school

My poor boy got injured at school today. Face first on concrete. School handled it well. One of the staff went to the ER with him until we got there. Has a huge knot on his forehead and face swollen and scratched and bloody. Poor boy

Leaky nappy advice

We use mamia nappies and have had no issue until now. We are using size 3 but she is leaking through them every night as she sleeps through the night. We’ve tried 4+ for night but they are still too big. Does anyone have any advice or any other brand that might hold more in a size 3?

Ms Rachel ??

How many of you are putting ms Rachel on??? I’ve just introduced it to my 8 month old and it’s like sorcery. I feel so guilty putting it on because LO don’t take his eyes off the screen, but it’s the only way I’m getting 20/30 minutes during Velcro baby stage. I’ll put it on twice a day for up to 30 mins at a time, the rest of the time we’re out the house, playing with toys or he’s with me doing jobs around the house. Should I even feel guilty?😩

Circumcision question

So my son got circumcised before leaving the hospital he’s 3 days old and they told me the day after leaving to take it off which is today and just add a lot of Vaseline to the area to help it and when we took him to his pediatrician he told us to just keep adding Vaseline on top of the gauze and it’ll fall off on its own but now I’m worried that it’ll get stuck to his skin if it sits to long. What do you feel I should do

Thoughts on this pram?

I’m 18 weeks pregnant and thinking of prams to get my baby. I saw this on Amazon and it seems affordable, plus the reviews are very positive about the quality of the product. Are there any mamas in the group that got this specific model? If so, how did you find it?
