Toddler stomped my glasses

Yup exactly as the title says my 2.5 year old go ahold of my glasses and stomped on them. 🫠not what I expected to happen that day but thankfully I was able to get a replacement pair same day in person. I wasn't happy with how I dealt with the situation (yelled and he ran to his room to cry) but it is what it is...I told my husband and he was really upset (not at me at our son for doing that) but I told him to treat our son normally that I already got upset with him there's no need for you to as well. Any tips on how to react without seeing red? I apologized to my son after I yelled at him and told him glasses aren't toys.

I think you've already done everything you can do from what you've described. You apologized. Parents aren't perfect and it's okay for kids to understand that. You can't change what happened, but your toddler saw that you realized you reacted emotionally and you apologized and owned up to it. That's healthy modelling when we make mistakes.

I don't think you need to do anymore - bringing it up again will just draw more attention. I'd say move on and try to use it as a learning experience, and a reminder to keep yourself regulated.

That's my worst nightmare! (well maybe not the worst but definitely on the list) I have a no touch policy for mamas glasses and keep them out of reach when not on my face. But golly the panic is there when one of the kids start reaching for my glasses.

BTW I don't know who needs to hear this but I actually have started buying glasses from Zenni. They are way cheaper from them and now I have a few extra pairs just in case.

Wow 40 dollars is great! So glad you were able to get a cheap and fast replacement!

Swaddle Vs sleeping suit.

Which one seems to work better for your baby? I am ftm, with a 4week old, I am not entirely sure what is the best option to get him to sleep restfully for a few hours between feeds.

Stop breastfeeding

Breastfeeding (expressing) is affecting my mental & physical health, my breasts constantly hurt, even when I express, I need to get checked to discard mastitis, but my mental health isn't good too, so I just want to stop producing milk.
I'm recovering from a C-Section, my body looks like a disgrace and my scar got infected twice and had to had antibiotics, I'm constantly uncomfortable.

GP has suggested to stop producing milk the natural way, but when I try, the pain is unbearable and it seems like my body wants to produce even more milk. I'm exhausted and I feel like I can't cope with it anymore.
Luckily my baby is mostly formula fed and any breastmilk has been given to him in bottles anyway, and he seems healthy & happy.

Has anyone stopped producing milk the natural way? I asked for medication and they said they can't prescribe it unless a major medical reason 😔

Sickness

Hello, I don’t know if anyone could help or if they have had the same issues with their little one. My son keeps being sick but it’s like bile we took him to A&E last night and they said we have been over feeding him but he’s been perfectly fine didn’t know if any other mums have experienced the same thing?

Silly question

My 1 week old seems to barely be awake, I know wake windows are really short at this age but is it normal for him to only be awake 1-2 hours a day?!

Colostrum harvesting

Anyone else having real difficulty?? So demoralising. I was wondering if people have any tips…

Also how long should you try for? I’m getting minuscule drips but nowhere near even 0.1ml. 🥺

Thanks in advance
