3 week old son

What do we do if my son is hungry an hour after he eats?
I’ve researched different cries and he always wants to eat my face after he eats after an hour and I’ve been trying to see if it’s different cries to make sure I’m not over feeding him or under feeding him. Tell me what to do, please!!!

He’s going through a growth spurt and prob just cluster feeding. He knows if he is hungry or not.

I have a 3 week old and he just went through the same thing. He would eat and then an hour later eat again he hasn’t the last few days so I believe it was just a growth spurt.

Feed! It’s a growth spurt, cluster feeding! You’ll know when you’ve over fed :) when they spit up or close their mouth acting like they don’t want more!!

Go off your instinct girly!! Don’t second guess yourself!! Even if you do over feed it’s not the end of the world! They just spit up a little :)

Like someone mentioned above, he’s probably cluster feeding & going through a growth spurt, cluster feeding helps your milk supply!

I feed my 5 week old on demand and sometimes she wants to eat every hour or sometimes every 2 1/2-3 hours!

I’m going through the same thing. Is he just wants to eat because she is growing :)

How do you teach your kids responsibility?

At what age is this a reasonable expectation. My daughter is 4 as of August. Shes very smart, but lately we’ve had a horrible time with responsibility, paying attention and respecting boundaries. She is constantly losing things like her beloved toys, and her water bottle, or leaving things in the car then having a crisis because she wants it wherever we are. She is constantly doing the exact thing we tell her brother to stop doing, or not to do then lies about it or smiles like it was a joke. I’ll tell her not to bother her baby sister while she’s asleep or eating, and she will continuously grab her hands or feet while she’s eating and then look me in the eye and tel me she wasn’t. I don’t know what to do anymore..

What do you think abt a babysitter telling your lo at this age to pick a color from the crayon box and then says remember you have to share because I’m coloring too.

The babysitter said this to my daughter and she threw a tantrum after 😭

Potty training

I’m due to start potty training my daughter (finally) next week! She’s 2.5 years old. And I just need some tips cause I’m so nervous about it.

I’ve got some potty training underwear for her and some potties to put on each room and an extra seat for the toilet.

My house is carpet so I’m dreading this so much.
She used to tell me when we she needed to poo but the past few days she hasn’t?
Are there any tips to help it go smoothly and quickly(hopefully) since I was have a 3 month old to deal with.

ODD/ADHD in 8 yr old girl

My stepdaughter has ODD/ADHD and anxiety, and in the last few months she has become out of control. She has started to steal my 15 month olds diapers and using them at night because “she’s too lazy to get up”. Then hiding them in her room. She has started stealing anything and everything she can. She is in therapy, meets with psychiatry once a month. We are starting in home counseling, and they are recommending when she has anger outbursts to call 988 for a crisis team. Has anyone dealt with the stealing, lying, bathroom issues, misbehaving that comes with ODD and found something that works? Psych says creative punishments, but nothing is working ughhhhhh
