Meltdown advice. Possible autism?

My daughter is great but she’s always been so emotional even from a baby , she’s just so much more fussy / high demanding than her peers.

She is so well behaved at Nursery and they comment how great she is, never a problem , wish they were all like her etc.

But at home I can’t cope anymore. From the moment she wakes up we spend the first half hour of the day her screaming and crying for no reason, it’s like she possessed. Home time after Nursery is the same and family are struggling to cope too. She had an hour long fit / meltdown for her Gran last week after Nursery and she said this can’t go on and we need to ‘get her to a doctor’ .. we have no support as family now standing back and don’t want to help as they find it stressful. There are no obvious triggers she just gets emotional over tiny things that wouldn’t bother other kids.

Any advice for dealing with big emotions ? We read books about feelings, do times out to calm her down, practice breathing / counting .. it’s not getting any better though.

Is it cheating

My husband just told me that at work he and his male friends/coworkers pinch each others nipples as like a joke, I think it’s inappropriate and it’s cheating in a way and he does not agree he thinks it’s just funny and nothings wrong with it

Sleep

Does anyone else miss just getting in bed and sleeping straight through until morning no waking up to feed or to pump or cus the baby made a weird noise

Is nursery a bit out of line?

Today I learned that my son was “seen by someone” when picking him up. Apparently speech therapist saw him in the nursery to evaluate him and I only learned about it on pick up.

No warning, no even proper explanation of what triggered it. With one staff member saying “he is not speaking at all”, and another dismissing it and saying it’s completely normal.

And everyone seem to dismiss my shock as he is the most chatty happiest child at home.

So it triggers me that instead of finding a way to get him “open up” and make him feel secure so he starts speaking naturally. They now decided he needs to be “fixed” and probably push him into more anxiety with it. Without even consulting us.

Too much pram time?

LO is 15 months old. He's not walking yet. We've always gone for 2 walks a day, for about 30-45 mins each. I've found this helps LO's mood and also my own mental health. It's occurring to me that perhaps this is too much "container" time. When we're home, I encourage loads of floor time and he enjoys pulling to stand and cruising on furniture. His only other "container" time is in his high chair 4 times a day for meals, and for about 10 mins at a time when I'm getting his food ready, unless someone else is there to watch him (our flat is small and not open plan).

Naps!

My 12 (almost 13) week old little boy has only had two 30 minute naps today😢 he wasn’t fussy or crying, but would lay there grinning at me instead of sleeping. I tried rocking him but he would cry when being held… only wanted to be in his crib.
We finally got him to sleep when we went out in the car this evening and has gone down well now. Is this normal that he is fighting naps so much? He normally naps well during the day, either contact naps or in his crib! Any tips for if this happens again tomorrow?

5 ounces of formula every 3 hours?

Hi,

My 6 week old is having 5 ounces of formula every 3 hours like clockwork. He is 4&1/2 kg and the doctors are very surprised. Is this normal?

Doctors said a baby of this age should be having 3 ounces. And i should look to reduce the amount but Baby cries after i give him 3 ounces but calm when hes had 5 ounces.
