Very emotional toddler

My little girl is so emotional and this has been going on now for a good few weeks. She seems exhausted as soon as she opens her eyes, very touch and go and the slightest thing can set her off and then she needs reassurrance/cuddles and a good cry before she's suddenly back to normal. Is anyone else's little girl going through some sort of development stage?

Most days she's happy and bouncy and fun but she seems exhausted from the moment she wakes up but pushes through to try and have fun with her day. This morning she was in tears about going to nursery and has been saying her legs and knees are tired for days now everytime we try to go out anywhere and I'm not sure if she is actually hurting or just needs a good rest. She only goes to nursery for three days a week and loves going usually, all she could tell me about why she was so upset is that today her best friend isn't there but this usually isn't an issue.

Really can't figure out what is going on with her and it's worrying to see her so up and down all of the time

My lil girl is also super emotional. She went thru this phase in September last year when she was newly enrolled in preschool. She took a liking to a teacher and she would get upset if the teacher was absent. Now she is happy and doesnt get emotional.
But if she does something wrong and I scold her or I show the tiniest sign of getting upset then there is so much drama i need to deal with. She would lie on the stairs hugging my pic and I have to cuddle her, give her kisses..this has become such a routine that we sigh when we know she is headed for the stairs.

When you had a baby and you decided to breast feed did you feel that nurses were pushing formula?

My baby is not even 2 days old and she's been nursing super well according to the lactation specialist. She was born by c section so weight loss is expected to be higher than by vaginal birth due to the fluids given. I'm booked into see my doctor for the baby and I and lactation consultant at the doctors yet this nurse won't stop asking if I want to give formula so she can pee more and gain back her weight fast.

You just changed your baby’s diaper, but realise you have to use the bathroom. Do you wash your hands..

Should I make a poll series on hand washing because I’ve been here long enough to know it’s not happening as much as it should lol

Are we just staying in bed for 12 hours a night?

Right now I’m going to bed when my baby does at 8pm and staying there until his morning wake usually around 7. Does anyone else do this? He sleeps on top of me and usually wakes up and just crawls back on me when I try to put him down. What are your tips for sneaking away?

Reducing formula feeds

I've just been told by my nursery that they wont give bottles of/and formula from 1 year one, my little boys 1 in 3 weeks.
Looking for advice on how to reduce his formula intake?
Hes loves both food and milk 🫣 I think he will drink cows milk so that's not the issue im more concerned about the fact that hes in a routine with his bottles.

Baby won’t go in pram

Hi my 9 week old hates the pram. She screams the entire time she’s in there. I’m at a loss. She’s never liked it. She will go in the baby carrier happily but is completely against the pram. Any advice
