My son did this too for about 6 months. It ended about 3 months ago.
I worked with his school and I worked with him myself.
I encouraged him to name his emotions and use words. I told him to talk about how he is feeling instead of using physical force. I also bought him some books: “What to do when you feel like hitting” and “Roaring mad Riley”. The books really helped too. Now he uses his words instead of hitting.

Experiences of epidural
Hi, I’m just wanting to ask those who have had epidurals during child birth. How were they for you, are you pleased you had one, what was recovery like etc. ♥️

Baby isn’t pooing
Hi everyone, I’m looking for a bit of advice/reassurance from anyone who’s experienced something similar.
My baby girl is 8 days old and I’m currently combination feeding, breastfeeding, expressed milk and formula. I’ve really been trying to establish breastfeeding over the last couple of days, but it’s been a struggle since she was born.
She hasn’t had a poo for about a day and a half, and I’m wondering whether this could mean she isn’t getting enough milk directly from me. I’ve been giving expressed milk and formula this afternoon so I can keep an eye on exactly how much she’s taking.
She seems otherwise completely well — her temperature is fine, she’s feeding every few hours, sleeping well between wake windows, isn’t showing any obvious discomfort and her tummy isn’t hard.
I’ve already spoken to the midwife about it a couple of days ago and I’ll be speaking to them again tomorrow morning, but I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who’s experienced something similar, especially with it being overnight. ❤️

For my boy mamas, i dont know if this is normal or not but both my boys (4 and 2) are constantly touching eachothers pvt part and laughing and saying penis penis, ive told them off many times and said you cant do that but they wont stop.

Sex after giving birth
Is this normal.. I gave birth beginning of July and as soon as I felt ready to have sex I’ve communicated to my partner,
Since then nothing, he’s not even trying.. I don’t understand I feel like he doesn’t want to have sex with me anymore..
Moms how long after did you have your first sexual encounter.? Just wondering I know we are all different..

Sleeping bags/sacks with sleeves?
Do you use them? Are they safe? I read somewhere that baby sleeping bags generally don't have sleeves to prevent overheating but not sure if this is true. Wondering if babies sleep better in the ones with sleeves as they are cosier? I don't understand why their arms don't get cold in regular sleeping bags.

Bathing baby everyday debate making me feel like a bad mum?
I’ve been seeing online lots of different opinions on bathing your baby everyday. I stopped bathing my baby everyday because I saw lots of info on how it’s bad for their skin etc and now bath mine every other day unless of course it’s a hot day or she’s been sicky/pooey or just got messy. (She gets a clean down before bed and always has fresh pjs and sheets changed regularly). However, lots of the comments say how older babies to toddlers should bath everyday and how it’s disgusting to not do it everyday? I’m
So torn and now worried that I should have been bathing her everyday and feel bad about it. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated?
