Anyone else

Anybody else get woken up by their limited edition 4 month old pterodactyl alarm clock? My son decided at 2 and 3 as well as 4 am was a great time to use his lungs.

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

I know kids, are just being kids…. But…..

I’m really close to my cousin she has a boy who’s 7 and my little boy is 2. We take them out on play dates but my cousins little boy is purposely not very kind to my boy.
He’s done things like when my boy is on his balance bike kick his football at the bike to try and get him to fall off and I’ve seen him do things like put his foot out as my little boy is running to make him trip up.
My cousin is very much a gentle parenting style and will never shout at him or tell him properly not to do these things?
He even got in my car yesterday and left chocolate all over the seat, water stained the seat and let wrappers all over! I feel like it’s really getting to me but I know if I say something it’ll cause bad feelings. How do I address this behaviour?

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?🙏

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 🥲😂🤣

Car seat upgrade

My little boy is 8 months old and we’re starting to think about upgrading the car seat to an all stages one. Husband’s family live about five hours away (without stops) so I would love people’s recommendations for comfy all stages car seats for longer distance travelling.
