I am desperate for advice

My daughter WAS a lovely little girl, always very mild tempered and easygoing. Shortly before turning 5, she started to have what I can only describe as an 'episode', which is becoming daily where she is utterly unbearable. Its as though all she wants to do is make every one around her upset, this usually ends with her getting physical and then snapping out of it and getting very upset, these episodes can last for up to an hour.
It may sound weird, but it's like something takes over, and she's not herself for that time.
The rest of the day, she's her usual lovely self. Never a bad word said at school or at nursery.
Im basically asking if anyone has been through this and knows what or why. Im desperately trying to figure out why this is happening and want my little girl back. It's making us all miserable.

Do we think she’s close to crawling?

I’ve been getting worried as she’s just turned 10 months and so far has shown no interest in trying to crawl. But the last couple days she’s sticking her leg out and it’s giving me hope.

Crunchy mamas

I have just gone the rabbit hole of non toxic life. I’m trying to change bit by bit! What I’m struggling with is diapers and baby wipes. What do you use? I was looking into dry wipes but all I could find is honest brand but they don’t do it in the uk

Hungry baby

My little boy is almost 3 months old, drinking 6 ounces of milk, (Aldi milk) doesn’t finish the bottle and then goes back to it maybe half hour later. But then he’s starving again within 2 hours.
I don’t think the answer is to give him more as he doesn’t always go back to it. If anyone has the MAM bottles he tends to drink to the colour of the plastic connection at the bottom which I think is about 30/40ml.
Is hungrier baby milk worth buying? Every time I talk to my midwives about his feeding they don’t seem concerned coz he’s putting on the weight. I feel like I’m always feeding him.

Breastfeeding out & about

Heya! I’m almost 2 weeks postpartum recovering from a c section. Still not quite ready to go out and about yet but wanted to see how people are getting on with breastfeeding out in public? I have a few events coming up soon and I’m a bit nervous about the feeding and how it’ll go. I am also expressing so don’t know whether to take a few bottles out to make it easier x

Sleep Deprived and on the verge of losing it.

My 3 month old is still taking a night feeding. He won't eat over 4 Oz each feed, (like, he literally stops exactly a 4 if there's more in the bottle) and he eats every two hours, and carries into the wee morning at 2:30 am. I feel like I havent slept since he's arrived. I know the fresh newborn stage was rough with waking almost every 1-2 hours like clockwork. But my body is sending off endurance warning signal when he's screaming at 2:30 am. And when I wake up at 5 am with him to feed again he's awake and ready to party 😩 and start the day. I'm trying to break the angry mom curse that feels like it was burned into my veins growing up. But I need some damn sleep. I'd really LOVE to know if anyone was able to get their 3 month old to sleep through the night. I try to nap when he does, but it's like he has a radar the minute I close my eyes to start crying or grunting and then I also have two obnoxious dogs that bark at the wind blowing during the day. TIA

Dentist

I took my eldest for a check up at the dentist today and enquired as to when to register and bring my May baby for his first appointment. The receptionist and the dentist both said 2 years old. I swear it was earlier with my daughter but maybe I'm just misremembering it! Interested to hear what others have been told. He'll be familiar with the environment from seeing me and my daughter go, so it's more about actually having his own teeth checked x
