First time mum is this normal please?

My son is almost 3, he’s developing really well but I’ve noticed a few things where I’m like is this normal - he doesn’t like tags in his clothes, he cries if the tags are left on his clothes - he is really picky with his food, no meat - he screams so bad and throws up when he’s got to have a bath or have his hair washed - he doesn’t like getting ready in the morning etc. is this just normal for his age? Thanks x

Definitely signs of sensory sensitivities

My niece was the same way and she has autism

My son is 3 and never did any of these things (yet)

You can contact your health visitor. It sounds like sensory processing disorder and I think it’s best to contact someone in case it develops into more than what it is now since he’s nearly at school age

Pump recommendations?

I’m exclusively breastfeeding my 7 week old, but would like to now have a freezer stash and have the option for my partner to do an evening feed, I’ve seen the momcozy pumps, but they are quite expensive any recommendations for something cheaper? ☺️ thanks!

Breastfeeding continuously

I am starting to feel like all my baby does is latch to my boobs (she has since birth if I’m honest) I understand they use the boobs for food, comfort, to regulate themselves etc, which I don’t want to stop but it’s beginning to make me feel isolated and unable to do anything other than sit and feed her. Advice or suggestions welcome to get me through 🙏 x

Car seat

What car seats did you move onto once your little one outgrew their first car seat? Any you’d recommended (or avoid)

Overfeeding newborn?!

Today I found out from my GP that feed on demand relates to breastfeeding. I’ve in fact been overfeeding my precious newborn and I feel both embarrassed and guilty.

I’m neurodiverse so I took that phrase literally and although I shouldn’t I feel so bad. She’s been in pain and her stomach was large!! My husband was like that’s normal and I’m so happy I finally listened to myself to get it checked after being gaslit so many times.

Anyway, this is to say follow your instincts and ignore formula pack feeding guidance 😅

Colostrum harvesting

Anyone else really struggling to collect any colostrum? I've tried all of the recommendations for it and watched several videos but just getting nothing. I'm worried as I'm due to go in for a c section on Friday ☹️

Nursery

When little one starts nursery she will be 10 months. She is formula fed - do I send her in with her bottles and a tub of formula? Flask and rapid cool?
Stupid question but 😂
