Extreme separation anxiety

Is really bad separation anxiety normal at 14 months? I’ve never had it this bad from my daughter before now. She won’t even sit in a trolley I’m pushing as she wants to be on my hip. She cries the entire time and holds her arms up for me, I’ve tried letting her get over it but she will literally scream down the shop and I end up leaving from embarrassment. She wont play, if I’m sat on the sofa she is crying arms up for me to pick her up which I’ve tried avoiding but it becomes unbearable. The tantrums too are so bad at the moment. Any advice appreciated because I’m going mad!

Side sleeping

I woke up this morning and my 11 week old was on his side!
1. I didn’t know he could do this!?
2. I panicked and put him back on his back but he rolled back over!
3. I put his dummy in because I panicked and when I rolled him back he rolled again!
Is this okay? Do I need to keep him on his back?
He seemed very content and I don’t know how to police back sleeping whilst also getting sleep myself, and I’m terrified of sids 😩

4skin

I had my 8 week check for my newborn recently and the doctor told me I should be gently pulling his foreskin back so that it doesn’t get too tight. I haven’t been given this advice before so I haven’t been doing it for my two-year-old.

My two-year-old’s foreskin doesn’t go back over the head of his penis, It’s too tight. Is this normal? Is it because I haven’t been pulling it back regularly?

Sorry about the title, apparently I’m not allowed to say foreskin in it?

Carseat Recommendations

We're in the process of buying a second car. I have a 5 month old baby. We want to buy a carseat for the new car, but not sure what to go for. We plan to have a second baby at some point in the next year or two, hence don't mind paying out for another carseat. At the moment I have an avionaut pixel pro 2.0, which my baby can use until he's about 12-15 months. I don't really want to buy another newborn carseat as it seems a waste of money. I want one that reclines as we do a lot of long journeys (my commute to work is 1 hr and on the days I work, he will be coming with me as my parents live 5mins away). Any recommendations would be great! Thank you :)

Should they be banned for life and would you as a parent press charges?

This teacher slapped a primary school student and left a red mark, however she tried to say in her statement that it was an "involuntary arm movement" 😑 I call bullshit... How can you "accidentally" have your arm outstretched, "accidentally" have an open hand and "accidentally" come into contact with a child's cheek enough to leave a red mark? But in the same interview she states that "a challenging classroom situation contributed to the incident". I'm sorry but if teaching brings you to the point of assault then you shouldn't be a teacher 🤷🏼‍♀️ so my questions are:
Should it be a lifetime ban? And would you press charges as the parent?

Hair loss

Girlies, what are you doing to help postpartum hair loss? It seems to be worse after my second pregnancy. I’m 5 months PP and it’s coming out in clumps constantly!

Nails and haircut for little boy

Hi all.

My 4 year old son's nails and hair are in dire need of cutting, but every time we mention it to him, he has a breakdown at just the thought. He used to be really patient having his nails cut while watching a show on my phone, but now completely refuses to even let me hold his fingers out. Hair is even worse, as he just cries and cries when my husband cuts it. We took him to the hairdresser when he was younger, but he just moved around so much that she couldn't finish the cut!

Please could I get your thoughts and experiences on how to tackle this?
