Hyper active toddler and worried about not listening and following instructions

Hi Mums
My little girl is around two and a half
She is beautiful but lately I’ve been worried and seen a big change in her in last few months
She has been a lot more hypoactive especially around bed time and just pushing boundaries! It’s nearly everything I say or try get her to do
From getting in the car seat, to putting on pants to settling down for bed ! it takes ages for both my partner and me to get her through bed time routine
. She has just been a lot more hyped up lately . constant chatter , why’s , tantrums and just running away when trying get her to do anything …

Another worry of mine is following instructions (I know she is new at this and brain is till developing !) but we take her to swimming lessons each week where I’ve noticed she is super distracted and dosnt follow the teachers instructions ! She loves swimming but I’m worried a bit she is falling behind the others ? But more so her attention span

What’s normal ? What’s not ?
What can I do to improve things ?

I’m exhausted and worried about my baby girl



If I can be honest I’m exhausted and pretty confused how to approach things!

All sounds like normal 2 year old behaviour. My boy is exactly the same.

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Breastfeeding

Does it ever feel better? The actual feeding part of it is going really well and baby boy is growing so well. I’m struggling with how my boobs feel day to day - it’s really getting me down most days. The let downs make me feel awful and sounds silly but, I am also really missing not wearing a bra! 9 weeks postpartum and still getting fairly engorged, even with comfort pumping.

Any advice or just shared stories would help. I’m so torn between carrying on because I enjoy the feeding side of it or switching to formula.

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Big nursing bras!

I’m looking for recommendations for good nursing bras for bigger breasted ladies!

I’m currently in a 38H which seems to be the biggest size done at M&S (UK based mama here) and it’s snug and not as supportive as I’d like. When I look online, they mainly seem to be sized S, M, L, XL etc rather than bra sizes.

Any recommendations please?

Strange question

Hello. I would identify myself as asexual but yes i am married and i have a child. But now that ive had my baby. I think its solidified that im done having sex. I feel bad as my partner keeps asking me but i just dont want to. Any advice on what i can do? Any other asexual moms out there? I guess this could be confusing but im not huge on being bound by a label. I have just always felt it represented me best since highschool.
