Feeling the mum guilt so much!

So my little one was breastfed for 16 months and he’s now almost 18 months old.. he didn’t like cow’s milk at 16/17 months even though we offered it a couple of times warm and then the rest of the times we offered it cold but he didn’t like it for weeks, now we took him for a babychino and he loved it and nursery tell me likes it was warm! Feeling so bad that I maybe didn’t try hard enough to give it to him warm 😟

For anyone else making the switch from breastfeeding to cow’s milk.. definitely give it warm! Xxx

Do you think sometimes parents expect too much out of a toddler?

A lot of times I see posts and sometimes they come off as they want their toddlers to have Boarding School behaviour or 5* eating habits and robot emotions. The moment they don't, then you see people comment to "whoop them" or therapy or label them as monsters etc. It's frustrating as adults when we are learning something new, so imagine what it's like for toddlers learning EVERYTHING new from their emotions to the world to walking, talking, eating, being independent. In my opinion sometimes there are too many expectations put on toddlers, I mean I trained pretty untrainable adults but I never said I hated them, obviously never wanted to smack them or tell them they needed therapy.

Preparing contact nap baby for nursery

My baby starts nursery in August and we do contact naps only .

We LOVE them 🤣 when do we need to start practicing cot naps for nursery ?? Anyone has any tips and tricks to prepare baby for nursery ? ( Like ; how long did it take to your baby to adapt , how did you do it? )

Naps !

First time I've ever posted anything on here so absolutely no clue how it works haha !
My eldest is 2 and she stopped her naps around 6 months ago and has been absolutely great with it but recently around 3-4pm she's acting really tired and getting really aggy and wingey ! Anyone have any experience with this or any advice on what to do ? 🤣

Between her and her little sister we are quite literally fighting for our lives at bedtime😅

Question for mums of 2x

Ive got a 2yr old and a newborn (1x week old)

Interested to hear from other mums if you had kids with a similar age gap, what did you find the hardest or most challenging?

Just trying to mentally prepare myself for what could come.

Right now my fears are keeping up routines on my own when hubby goes back to work as I ebf and no idea how im going to be able to do it 😬

Breastfeeding

I’d like to breastfeed but not exclusively as I want my partner to be able to help out with feeds and have the flexibility. There are so many brands and I don’t know where to start!

Is it best to start with a manual one? Should I go with a wearable one like Momcosy? Any recommendations appreciated 🙏

Am I wrong for being annoyed that I do all the mornings while he still wants a lay?

My husband says he’d like to be able to have a lie-in in the mornings, and it’s starting to annoy me.

I’m a SAHM and I’m always the one up at 7:00am with our 18-month-old. Every single day, I get her out of the cot while he stays in bed until around 8:00–8:30 (he works from home most days).

He doesn’t start work until 9:00, so it’s not like he has to rush out the door. During the day he’ll take her out for an hour or two on his breaks, but aside from that, it’s all me—feeding her, cooking, putting her down for a nap, everything.

Am I being unreasonable for feeling annoyed about this? How do you guys usually split mornings like this?
