BF weaning emotional

Any other mums recently weaned off breastfeeding? I'm not completely stopping yet but have heavily reduced getting ready for when she turns 1. I'm so emotional lately and almost feel like I have the newborn baby blues again when the evening comes! I cried so much last night over the fact I didn't feed my baby to sleep all night (WHAT is wrong with me, I had my first solid 8 hours in 9 months).

My friend has but onto formula, she's done it slowly one feed at a time, taken a couple of months. It should still be their main source of nutrition until a year so personally I wouldn't be reducing your milk yet as its still very much needed

Normal?

Hey guys I need help with knowing if this is normal.

My first born son was the easiest baby ever. Rarely cried at all!
My second born cries about everything. His diaper changes are traumatic because he won’t let you do it and the only way to get a diaper done is to pin him down (we’ve given him our phone, toys, chewies, sang to him, silly faces, played with him- he will not let a diaper change happen at all and just screams)
He won’t let us wipe his hands after mealtime he screams and flales.

You can’t distract him once he works himself up.

At the beginning I was like “this is normal” but now he’s 10.5 months and still screams every diaper change and hand wipe

Is this normal?

Bedtime Advice Please

Hi,
Im a first time mum to a 6 week old. I’ve seen a lot of people say their baby sleeps longer stretches than mine. Since she was born, in the evening we’ve put her down in her Moses basket in the living room until me and my partner go upstairs to bed. She’s waking up 3 times in the night. Would she be better at sleeping if I put her down in the next to me upstairs earlier in evening with baby monitor and get her in more of a routine every night?
I don’t know if I’m being stupid but I think maybe if she’s in more of a set routine sooner rather than later it would be best?

Quick PSA

Don’t be a fool like me! Before you run upstairs to have a quickie with your husband make sure your baby monitor receiver is turned off so the whole rest of your house doesn’t hear ur shenanigans. 🫠🫠🫠

Bed time/ wake time

I have a five month old and really trying to figure out what time I should be putting her to bed. She wakes up at like 6:30am which is too early for me 😅

Any advice or mums who’ve figured it out?

Am I crazy???

My husband constantly has a go at me about how I'm looking after our daughter... shes 6 months old but hes always having a go at how im looking after her.

We went to a playgroup the other day (just me and her) and she was sitting up and she fell over and banged her face and was crying. I was also in tears as it never happened before let alone in front of such an audience. I got home and told my husband and he said its my fault and I should have stopped her from falling. I was sat behind her but i just wasn't quick enough to catch her.

This evening I was changing her to her night clothes and she's going through a fussy phase where she cries when changing her clothes. According to wonder weeks is normal for this fussy phase but he comes in and checks on what im doing to her like im doing something wrong... I was then holding her when closing the blinds to wind down for the night and again I am wrong as I should have gave her to him so I could close the blinds with 2 hands...

There are a million and one other things I can rant about... but he constantly threatens to get legal action saying I am losing my mind and he has no confidence in me looking after our daughter...

Am I really such an awful mother??
