Are we surviving the terrible twos??

Is anyone only one month deep in the terrible twos (she's only 1.5) and just completely struggling?? She won't stop hitting, hair pulling, being defiant, testing literally every boundary, and throwing. Idk what to do. I've tried channeling her energy into other things. I've tried saying that's not nice. I've tried taking her hand and putting it to her side and saying we do not hit. She used to be the sweetest and most perfect baby. Now she's a little terror

I’m right in the thick of this! You are not alone

it's so hard! I was warned but I never thought it could be this hard

I know. I’m in it with a newborn on top of it all

@Sarah oh you are superwoman then!

My poor son gets hit and scratched to 😩

Yesss!! These toddlers have so much attitude 😪 they always do something they shouldn’t and they know that they shouldn’t too and they just look at you. How do you guys deal with it? I try not to scream but they really do test our patience.
Also does anybody else toddler break everything in the house by accident

Oh man, terrible twos are infact so terrible . They get annoyed at the most unexpected things and then they smile back after sometime and you just melt

2 months vaccination

My 2 month old baby girl just got her vaccination today and she’s been super sleepy, only sleeps then wakes up, nurses a little and whines until she falls back asleep.
How did it go for your babies? Any tips on making her comfortable? Should I be waking her more ?

Nursery

Hey mummies and daddies, has anybody got experience with baby not getting used to nursery? My daughter started at 12 months (a month ago) and still has a meltdown every time we drop her off. How long until it settles? I worry that she’s just not happy there :(

Milk supply

Can you train yourself to make more milk or do you just have a set amount?😆

I only manage to get 2 ounces each session (1 ounce from each side).
Baby is nearly 4 weeks old & I’ve been pumping since day 3 when my milk came in.
I pump very regularly (after every breast feed to top my girl up because she gets so sleepy on the boob & doesn’t get a chance to drink the fatty milk, this was causing weight issues so was advised to do this by the feeding clinic). I’ve never had the chance to build a stash because she obviously drinks it all as soon as it’s pumped. I’d love to be able to produce more, the only advice I’ve seen is to pump & feed regularly & stay hydrated which I already do x

My fault apparently

Basically I have a 5 year old son and I'm having a little girl in October but unfortunately I don't have my son living with me and my unborn daughter can't come home either it's because of domestic violence records cohesive behaviour physical and mental abuse from him and hes always yelling at me saying it's my fault because I was in care and I'm on methadone it's killing me inside

Night shifts

How are we doing night shifts with our partners?

My partner is back at work so I only wake him up for nappy changes (my back still kills me after c-section). I breastfeed and our little dude eats every 2-3 hours and then takes a while to settle again. I know if I passed him to my partner, it would just be another thing to wake baby up even more. And I feel bad because he’s back at work.
So I spend most of the night awake.
3 weeks PP, so my milk supply is still calibrating and bottles aren’t an option until 5 weeks or so.
I also really struggle with day time sleeping and with going to bed early, so the idea of him taking baby 7pm-1am and me doing 1am-7am would also cost me sleep.

I’m so tired, I’m absolutely losing it 😭
