Normal toddler behaviour or more to it?

My son is almost 3 and so emotional over everything, he wanted his tractor pyjamas on so I put them on, then he wanted his lightening McQueen PJs on and had a full on meltdown because he was in tractors like he asked, then he asked to go outside, he went outside and cried saying he wanted inside, so he came inside then cried when I shut the door as he couldn’t go outside.

He constantly doesn’t have a clue what he actually wants, moving from toy to toy, room to room, he’s super stubborn with everything.

It’s exhausting and frustrating 😂🙈

I think it’s normal. Its a hard age. They are so many developmental milestones going on and he can’t fully express himself.

Toddler abusing me :((

Girrrlll, ladiess how do we deal with our toddler hitting us ? Currently my head is buzzing bc my son decided to hit me in the head with a heavy ass tub of cream , but its a non stop occurrence... Last night as we were going to sleep, all quiet , randomly BAM a heavy slap that actually burned my cheek... Ive been doing gentle parenting , saying " no, its not nice " lets be gentle like this *showing how to gently caress someone s face* ... idk what to do anymore... If I can see something coming, I'll stop it before he actually hits me ...but sometimes its just rlly random.. pls help 😔😔

Sleeping

How’s everyone’s baby’s sleeping? Feel like my little boy is inconsistent. He’s 10 weeks and I try to put him to bed around 6-7pm each night x

Trapped wind

My 1 month old rarely burps after a feed. I've tried different positions but he doesn't burp very often. Then he is upset because he's obviously got trapped wind and struggles to fart it out. If I push his legs up he sometimes definitely feels relief but I can't do that all night long! Any tips for burping or babies with trapped wind please?🙏

Is it me or is it still the hormones?

I feel like me and my husband are drifting more and more apart. Our son just turned one and it seems like we are butting heads more often. For one he still sleeps on the couch. In the beginning he did it so I could sleep inbetween pumps and because the bassinet was in the living room. Then he stayed once we moved him to his own crib as the room is next to the living room and as he says “ this way when he cries only one of us wakes up.” I still hear him from our room when he cries, it’s a one story house. I have asked he come back to our room heck it was the only thing I wanted for my birthday but he hasn’t. Then tonight he made his bottle with 4 ounces of milk and 2 water for only one scoop of formula. I started getting upset bc we just talked about it last night. I’m not comfortable moving up from 2 ounces milk and 4 of water with two formula scoops as he’s not really eating table food. He only has a few bites here and there so I feel he won’t get the nutrients he needs if we move up. My husband says his daycare teachers say we need to get him off bottles. Chill out people he just turned one!! We still have a few months til he has to be off them completely. It just feels like he doesn’t care what I say and just wants to be the “yes man” and do what the teachers say. I just feel so defeated as the mom when he does this.

Nap times🥲 the joys!

So .. as a 5 month old baby you are telling me that you’re yawning, rubbing you’re eyes to tell me you’re tired so I pick you up to contact and you start smiling and giggling and deciding you no longer want to nap.
So mommy helps you out, cuddles, bum pats and shushing, but oh no.. you want to tell jokes and shout at me 😂.
But then, you become tired, very overtired, and all of a sudden it’s my fault?! I know you hate the cot, so I’ll soak up the contact naps while I can but girl don’t bite the hand that feeds you (or boob lol) you can have a nap it’s okay I am here for you!! I’ll still be here when you wake up 🤣 didn’t fancy having breakfast this morning anyways 🥲😂🤣
