18m hitting ?!

My sweet little 18 month old girl has begun hitting me randomly when just sat on my lap almost as if to get a reaction and also when told no, is this normal ?

Same here. Its slowly driving me crazy. And now she cries when she has to come to me but not my partner or my mum. Breaks my heart.

My girl is the same. She drove me bonkers last Wednesday hitting me and throwing things! I realised on the Thurs that her back teeth were piercing through so unsure if she was in pain and feeling frustrated (she isn't talking so I think she gets frustrated by this)

I tell her no and I sit her away from me. She then comes and cuddles me

Same. Hitting, hair pulling & biting all started yesterday. We have a 2 week old boy so she’s definitely going through some big emotions but my god it drove me to tears yesterday

Mine did this to me the other day. I just remove myself because I’ve been saying no to her and now no is her favourite word 😩😢 don’t be hard on your self we all think we’re doing rubbish but we aren’t xxxx

I say 'no' & put my daughter on the floor. If she does it again once I've picked her back up, again I tell her 'no' & put her back on the floor again. Its all about setting that boundary, consistancy & repitition until they learn.

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 🥰

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.
