Temper tantrums
My son is 11 months old and has just recently started getting a little temper having complete meltdown downs if I say no or get him away from something he shouldn’t be getting into. (Tonight was the plug outlet near the floor that he decided to try and rip off the wall 😬)
He throws his head back and arches his back so I can’t pick him up while screaming and crying.
Anyone else dealing with similar tantrums and if so how are you dealing with them? I try to divert his attention with something instead of just always saying no but it’s so hard!

Yesss mine has been doing little ones for a month or so now but they’ve definitely gotten a little worse with lots more throwing himself back, kicking his feet, and crying into the floor. Hard to believe we’re gonna have toddlers soon and this won’t be my little baby anymore
I try acknowledging his emotions personally saying “did that make you mad” and explaining why we can’t do whatever he was trying to do or get into, and talk to him
Yes. Distraction works for me.
Yes I recently noticed this with my baby last week. If she doesnt get her way she's mad lol
Welcome to the club 🤣 I was just saying if it’s like this now… what is the terrible 2s going to be like 😩😭🤯🙃

10 month old sleep regression?
My baby has always been a fantastic sleeper and would sleep through the night in her cot. Shes never slept in our bed. She would fall asleep on us and transfer over to her cot easily. Recently she is crying every time we put her down and waking multiple times in the night.
Has this happened to anyone else? It’s been a week now and I don’t want to make a habit of her sleeping in my bed when we’ve done so well up until now.

Going out with bottle fed baby
Baby is 9 weeks - we’ve been out to shopping centre/family but I panic so much thinking about his feeds - mainly, how will I make his milk when out/ will he run out?
I usually take ready made milk and feel ‘safe’ around shops as I can always buy milk if we run out. I’ve stoped this now as it’s too expensive and I have everything I need to prepare his milk.. so no excuse!
I always take so many bottles/ rapid cool/ flask with hot water / bottle with cool boiled water - I have everything but it causes me so much anxiety especially when I see others preparing milk with ease and confidence!
I just can’t work out the best way to prepare his bottles when out.
Also, as I take sooo much stuff as I don’t want to run out - I can’t fit everything into my bag 😩🙈
What do you find works for you? Thank you

No judgment- FTM!
I combi feed my baby. Based on advice from relatives (lol) I was told when it comes to bottle feeds, especially at night feeds, just prepare them before we go to bed then reheat when needed.
My health visitor has come and advised against that due to bacteria growth. We thought this may be a reason why baby is in discomfort due to upset tummy.
To make life easier at night I’ve just gone back to breast feeding as he will cry the place down if he has to wait at night lool. If I have to make a bottle from scratch does anyone recommend at cooling device I can use?
Thank you x

Help!
Ok our dryer just broke but it’s not mine it’s my moms who I live with. They don’t want to buy a new due to financial situations. Me and my husband would buy it but my mom’s husband doesn’t want to put in and doesn’t even speak to us. So getting a new one is on hold but I need to wash my husbands uniforms like 3 times a week. And I’m down to hand wash them the problem is them drying and smelling like mildew. So has anyone ever tried a portable dryer or any recommendations on what to do cause we’ve been doing the laundry mat and it’s adding up with us doing laundry multiple times a month.

Sleeping
4 week old baby - Should we wake a baby up if they’ve been sleeping for 2+ hours (for example)
When do we wake them up or we let them wake naturally?

Feeling bad.
My 3 month old (just turned) if not asleep will just scream and cry whenever awake, we maybe get 5 minutes maximum where we can interact/play because the rest of the time she is so unhappy!
I dont know if I want help, ideas of what could be the cause, reassurance, just anything right now 🫠🥹 ps. It's not just when she's tired, it's all the time x
