Is your toddler a runner?

Any open space, my son bolts away from me and doesn’t listen! Is anyone else’s child like this and how do you stop it? Looked it up online and says it can be an ASD trait but his speech and social interactions etc are fine… so not sure if this is a 2 year phase? When I chase after him, the more he runs so he obviously finds it exciting. Please help as it gives me anxiety and I’ve left it too late to put reigns on now

Yes! My little boy just doesn’t walk he runs everywhere! I see other children his age walking nicely and we have no chance even walking to the park at the end of the street he will just run or try run on the road. We say no and explain danger but he just wants run and have fun. I’ve tried reins but he hates them. No help but you’re not alone x

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
