Washing Toddler’s Hair

😆 This is exactly why I just have him lay on the counter and wash his hair in the sink using a diaper changing pad.

April 24th, I made the mistake of not watching where I was going, thankfully it was after I already put my baby girl in her car seat so she wasn’t with me when it happened, and I was ran over by a truck in front of my house. It initially hit me and knocked me down but the back tire grabbed my right leg and pulled me under it. I thought that was it. That was the final moments I had with my family on the way to the hospital. My husband breaking every traffic rule to get me there because I didn’t think I had time to wait for an ambulance. In reality if it was my time, I didn’t want to go in front of our home, I didn’t want that for them. I just remember holding my little girls hand while she babbled away telling my husband and her how much I loved them, telling my husband to promise me that he’ll have her know who I was and that I never wanted to leave her. I ended up in the icu followed by multiple hospital stays and more appointments to come. I have multiple broken ribs, a broken back, I had internal bleeding from my liver, a collapsed lung and severe damage to my right leg. That they are still unsure the extent of the damage it has caused to it. Now I’m navigating being a mom, barely able to hold my baby, technically not even supposed to carry her. And be a wife when just getting up and getting myself dressed takes every bit of strength I have. So household chores and dinners everything I devoted myself to be being a wife and a mother was stripped from me. Everyday is a struggle. My husband has stepped up to do both roles as best as he could but you know how that can be. I feel lonely, lost, useless and a burden. But at that same time I’m so blessed to be here to feel these things just because of this little girl I thought I had to say goodbye to forever.

3 week old cluster feeding and restless!

FTM of 3 week old boy and the past 24 hours have been HARD. Waking every hour to feed and I’m talking 4oz a time. He’s a big baby at 10lb and up above his birth weight so I’m not too concerned with the amount per feed but it’s CONSTANT. Did anyone else experience this at this age, is so advise please 🙏

Bowel movements

Breastfed baby screaming in pain and hasn't been to toilet in over 24 hours any advice please tried all the bicycle legs, infacol.

So unsettled finding it hard to feed.

Please tell me it gets better!! At the moment my son who’s 14 months will not be put down! He screams and screams until we pick him up but he won’t let us sit down with him he only wants us to stand with him?!

His nursery (he’s only been there 3 times) has said that they’re finding it really hard to sooth him because he constantly wants to be carried stood up! He won’t let them sit down with him and they said they’re having to let him cry because they physically can’t do what he wants! How do I help or will he eventually get over it?!

Quiet Toddler

Is it normal if toddlers have a day where there less active and want to just lay down? My toddler is normally active,running around and playing with her toys,but today she woke up looking tierd, when we went outside all she wanted to do was laying the same, we inside now and she just want to lay down and the couch and watch some dinosaurs movies. She still eating and is being very talkative. We were pretty busy on Mother's day and she did go to bed late then usual. But she has gone to bed late before and would be active the next day
