Is your child at 2 years still rear facing in the car seat?

I dont know many that do it at this point although it is safer. We stopped as its now much easier managing melt downs and being able to soothe and comfort but the actual recommend age is till 4 years old! And some seats go to 6 years old 🫠.. wondering if I should start reintroducing backwards sitting again.. its such a boring ride for a toddler though

Anxiety

I feel like such a shit person, I had my baby last week after a fairly traumatic birth - I’m so in love with him but also I’ve been feeling really down and irritable since we’ve been home. My partners so supportive which makes me feel worse! We’ve had endless visitors and tomorrow my partners sisters coming down from a few hours away for the day she’s really full on at the best of times and obviously she’s going to be so excited to meet him etc and will love him - I’m just struggling with people having him etc at the moment and I feel terrible for it! I’m so overwhelmed I’m freaking out about them coming here and just taking over with him 😢 has anyone else been feeling like this? Am I being awful 🥺

Bad behaviors

Incog so I’m not exposing my 3.5 yr old. She’s not really bad - it’s just everything she does pisses me off. How do you all deal?

Ex; Hates daddy and wants to do everything with mommy. Won’t even let him take her out of the car seat.

Ex; I said no to a lollipop on the way to daycare. She was screaming, crying, and kicking the back of my chair.

Ex; Time to eat breakfast? Time to brush teeth? Time to pee? Time to dress? Time to sleep? Won’t budge.

Ex; Pushes and sometimes hits her little sister mostly over playtime.

In general, she does everything I tell her not to do and does everything she’s not supposed to do. I’m losing it.

Also, her “hating” daddy is a problem. She will sometimes hit or scratch him.

What do I do OMG.

Naps

Over the past few days my 6 month old has started having quite long naps approx. 2 hours+ at around 1pm, also naps in the morning at about 9am for approx. 30 minutes then will go bed at 6:30pm and sleep through to 6:30am, he does stir a bit through the night. Is this normal? Could is be down to teething or a growth spurt?

Baby body wash

What’s everyone using on their babies this time. Im planning on not using soap straight away but would love some recommendations, my first baby reacted to child’s farm and nalas baby, she now uses sanex baby but it says on the packaging that it’s for 6 months and above. Any suggestions? Just worried this baby will have extra sensitive skin again
