How to stop toddler hitting baby

My toddler is 2 and a half and my baby is 10 weeks old. How do I stop him from being rough? He’s such a wonderful little boy but I think due to big changes with my baby arriving he wants attention. He has pulled her legs, has hit her back etc. I supervise them at all times and I praise him loads when he’s gentle. When he’s not I ask him to stop or redirect but it’s frustrating as he doesn’t really listen. I feel quite alone with this so it would be nice to know I’m not alone with the struggle. Thanks for reading

Which is more important to you?

My mom and my husband dont get along.. at all. It has been putting a strain on my marriage and I'm honestly so tired of trying to keep everyone happy. I really just want to focus on my baby and repairing my marriage. Especially since its been super stressful as first time parents to a 3 month old. I feel bad that I'm kinda giving up on my relationship with my mom but it has been like this for years and I cant keep doing it. These issues have also been contributing to my PPD.

MUMS WHO CO-SLEEP AND HAVE A SEX LIFE

do you even exist?! I haven't had sex with my hubby since baby was born (5 months ago...). my baby WON'T sleep in a crib more than 5 minutes, and we live with more people in the house, so our only option is the bedroom. We don't have much support, and only my mom has watched him for a couple of hours a few times, but she lives far from us. I don't know what to do anymore, we both definitely need it!! please share your tips or advice

Does anyone else have a baby that’s an emotional manipulator?

Totally joking, they’re just babies obviously lol. But my daughter loves to play games with us and is very expressive with her faces. I just gave her a kiss on the forehead and she starts to pretend like she’s going to cry. Even though I know she’s messing around I apologize only for her to give me the biggest, most shit-eating smirk possible like some evil villain and when I call her out for it she starts laughing😭 baby girl, you’re only 11 weeks old… you can’t be slick like that yet lmao

Naps in the day - partners suggestion not sure if right or not - feels wrong

Partner is saying to make our 5 month old baby nap in the day we should just put him into his cot at specific times even if he’s wide awake and just let him cry until he falls asleep. Is this the right way??? Feels wrong to me, shouldn’t we try to get them sleepy or asleep first?
