My daughter is about to be 2 in April and we have been having a hard time with her since before baby was born and it’s gotten worse since we brought her brother home. Sometimes we are worried maybe she’s feeling neglected and we aren’t spending as much time with her as I had a c section and I’m not able to do much with her. I think as of right now it’s just her going through getting another sibling and not fully understanding certain things so we are just trying to be patient with her and make sure she’s not feeling neglected or left out

We're struggling too, My son is 26 months old and we have a 2-week-old daughter. I was always the primary caregiver with my son and since we had our daughter our son has been spending a lot of time with his dad and as awesome as that is for both of them, it has also been somewhat dysregulating for my son because my husband is not typically the primary caregiver and so just does things differently than my son is used to. We are looking to get back into our regular routine this week, so hoping that remedies some of the behavior issues we've been experiencing.

I've been letting my daughter (3) help as much as possible like she rubs his back to help burp, he holds her finger and she grabs his paci, diapers etc.
I also put baby between us on the bed while watching TV. Just try to keep him involved its helped a lot with the tantrums. By boy just hit a month old and the first 2 weeks were the hardest
Please tell me what your experience is with your 8m old.

Let’s see it ladies.
You’ve got to laugh or you’ll cry, let’s be honest 🤣
Edit: this is what I caught in the shower and does not include anything that went down the plug, anything that stayed on my comb, anything still attached to my body when I got out or anything that was still in the bath when I was done ✌️.

Someone please help me with some advice because I’m losing my absolute mind 😭
Baby is 5 months old, she has changed a lot in personality over the last month, more needy, sleep changes etc but have put it down to the 4 month regression and teething.
However, the problem that makes me want to literally cry is the car seat! She is totally inconsolable now every time she’s in the car. Why? And what can I do to help it?!

My baby is almost 4 months, she was always so happy and smiley but recently she SQUEALS!!! if she’s not squealing, she’s crying, no matter what we do.
When we pick her up, she wants to move every two seconds and stiffens up and screams at us to move her, in the car, play gym, in her swing chair.. it’s relentless!!!
Anybody else experienced this?? I’m worried (although I hope not!) that because I never let her “self soothe” and responded to every sound she’s made that I may have spoiled her like people said and I laughed at?

FTM to a 7 week old who has been incredibly chilled up to now bar problems with wind. From 6 weeks old he has been crying none stop and will only soothe with contact naps. I am unable to put him down and even on me he seems to wake up screaming crying for no apparent reason. He is absolutely fine at night but day times are a different story and he seems to go through a cry - feed - contact nap - cry- feed cycle until he goes down at night. I know this must be a phase but I am STRUGGLING. is anyone else going through the same thing?
