Breastfeeding FTM

Gave birth around 11:40am yesterday, had 3 feeds and another short one later that night. Everytime i put her up to the breast she seems to fall asleep and wont open her mouth. Any suggestions ? Shes only small and came out at 5lb 2 so need to get her weight up 😬

When did your LO start sleeping through the night?

My mom(step mom technically) made a somewhat rude comment about my LO's sleep. They are 16 months old and still wake up every 2 or 3 hrs throughout the night. But like usually just stirs or fussing & readjusts for a minute then goes back to sleep but I of course fully wake each time. Only 1 or 2 wakes are for a longer stretch and they need help going back to sleep. My mom asked how he's been sleeping & I said the usual, still up every 2 or 3 hours and she said "jeez I've never heard a kid that age sleeping that bad" like she was accusing me of not teaching them to sleep better by now. And I just wanted to get some validation that it's just how my kid is and wanted to know if others have kids that just sleep poorly still at 16 months?

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

Breastfeeding question

So I was wondering since I’m thinking about breastfeeding after giving birth what all should I look forward to and what’s everything I should get .

Struggling

this is so uncomfortable for me to post but I want to know if anyone feels the same way…

my baby is just over a month old and he only ever cries when he is with me, he’s fine with his dad and both sets of grandparents but he cries and cries when he’s with me..

I’ve convinced myself he hates me, is anybody else’s baby like this or does he just really not like me :(

Is this normal I need serious helllllllppppppp

Hi! My son is 2 years and 8 months old and he doesn’t listen to anything I say unless I would make a threat but now that doesn’t even work even if I’ve continuously followed through with the threat he will scream at me and purposely do things like this evening for example he kept on trying to throw a ball at my dinner and then succeeded and then he tipped my drink out on the floor. That’s just this evening it’s tipping me over the edge as I jus feel like nothing is fun and he’s stressing me out to the max. It seems like it’s non stop am I the only one dealing with this he will scream and not let meput him to bed or read him a story and call me rubbish feeling so deflated can anyone help or shed some light
