Is your 3.5 year old A LOT to take?

My little girl is lovely, but I’m really struggling with age 3. We seem to have come out the other end of some terrible behavior phase recently and she’s much less tantrummy now, but she is still A LOT. She’s constantly making noise, climbing on me, asking the same questions over and over again even when I’ve already answered her 6 times. I am getting so overstimulated with her so quickly. I feel I’m getting snappy and not because she’s being bad, but just because she doesn’t STOP!

I’m also have an 8 month old that’s just started crawling and so maybe it’s all just too much for me right now 😅 Send help.

I can’t even step away from it all because she will follow me everywhere no matter what I do, I poop with badly sung rainbow songs next to my ear, I shower with her watching me, I cook with her clinging to my leg. I’m slowly going mad!

Another 3.5 year old little girls mum here and a 6 month old! Has she become more clingy since second baby? My little girl is lovely and honestly my little best friend but she does want to be with me or my husband all the time since her brother was born. It's so hard to split time! We do something with her on the weekend without her brother. She has football on a Saturday with my husband and then I take her to her swimming lesson on a Sunday with a trip to the cafe after for a cake. Thankfully she's at pre school Monday-Friday or I would have gone insane by now! lol half term nearly buried me! Lool. Is she helpful? My little one loves to help with everything so we give her little jobs that keep her busy! I also have the add d issue that her brother is absolutely obsessed with her and wants to be with her all the time!. I get you with the questions, it's exhausting 🤣. x

Baby poops

I’m going alittle crazy! My ebf 11 week old for the past 3 weeks will only poop every 6 days. Brought it up to the pediatrician and I’ve done everything they told us to do. Bicycle kicks, tummy rubs, rectal temp check, warm baths and even a suppository. He is very low on the percentile like 9% so I feel like he isn’t holding on to the milk and about day 4 he is so uncomfortable. We took him to the ER Saturday and they did a xray and just told us he had gas. Went to a follow-up peds appointment and they started him on liquid Pepcid due to possible silent reflux. He burps & farts during/ after feeds. We give mylicon or gripe water for the gas discomfort which helps sometimes. I have a feeling this isn’t normal especially when he used to poop everyday.

Leftover pregnancy/postpartum products

I have a load of leftover products either unopened or only used once, it seems a shame to throw them away any ideas what I can do with them? I don’t have any friends expecting or likely to get pregnant soon and I guess most places wouldn’t take them as donations? Based in London.

Feeling anxious and depressed

Hi everyone
Sorry about the subject I just want someone to talk to. I’ve been feeling anxious and depressed for a long time but since having my children I just don’t want them to see me sad and worried all the time.
I went to the doctors to discuss this with them and was recommended doing couch to 5k with no other help offered? Is this normal.
I understand exercise can sometimes help but I don’t have the time whatsoever as I have no family to help.
I cried my eyes out to this male doctor who offered a few leaflets and couch to 5k and ended it as that.
I left the room in tears.
I’ve never wanted to burden anyone with my problems so I’ve just kept silent about it ever since but I just want to feel happy again
I’m sorry for the sensitive subject

Milk leaking

Does anyone have any tips on how to stop milk leaking? After pumping I’ll put on a nipple pad but it gets soaked up and I leak through my tops/pyjamas.

Does anyone have any nipple pad recommendations? At the moment I’m just using the Boots own make.
