Hitting , shouting and angry…
Hi All
Feeling quite distressed… is it still normal for our Oct’21 children to hit, scream and throw a lot of tantrums… like literally last few weeks it seems nothing we do can make my daughter happy. I feel very heartbroken because I don’t know what else can we do. For smallest of things she will get really angry and hit us.. I have tried everything to make her understand the boundaries but it keeps continuing.
Any tips on how to help her manage her from being angry and this outburst with hitting?
Thanks

Oh my goodness I could have written this post myself. I have no advice because I’m struggling just as much as you but THANKYOU for posting this! I was so worried my daughter was having issues but this makes me feel so much better. Sending love and hope this stage doesn’t last much longer for both of us 🥰🫶🏼
I feel the exact same way. My 2021 daughter still hits and screams tantrums. Iv tried the positive approach no shouting, or telling her off and tried the harsh approach but nothing works

Help…Normal tantrum or something more?
My daughter is having the worst meltdowns recently. I’m talking to the point where people are starting to stop outside my house and looking in with concern. The anxiety and humiliation leaving the house sometimes is exhausting. Kicking and screaming at the top of her voice in public and having everyone in the street looking at me, is a different kind of embarrassment and guilt. I’ve had a few conversations recently with various people about seeing someone professional about mt daughter’s behaviour. She’s also started using noises and moans to gesture what she wants, coming from an incredibly smart 3 year old who has been speaking full sentences since she was two. We have regressed in verbal communication, and the meltdowns are getting so horrifically bad. She also tugs at her clothes when distressed or pulls on her fingers. There is absolutely ZERO reasoning with her when she is like this, it’s just constant screaming. I’m a first time mum and just at a complete loss.

I just found out some bad news yesterday. My babygirl of 14 years has cancer. They found three large masses inside her. I am so devastated. I know i have to put her down but she is still acting like herself. Jumping on and off the bed/counter, eating and drinking.
I just dont know what to do or when to do it. How do I know when its time? She doesn't seem to be in any pain or anything. Vet said that chemo would be hard on her since she's lost weight and is fragile and her age.
I guess I'm making this post for any and all advice on when to know its time to put her down..

Breast feeding
I’m expecting in a few months time and want to breast feed (breast and bottle feed). What bottles do you recommend? I formula fed my first daughter and used Dr brown bottles (hated Tommee Tippee and MAM due to tongue tie issues). Is Philips Avent good or Lansinoh? Thank you ☺️

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. ❤️
