First time calling poison control

I feel so terrible. My two year-old got into a bottle of fix vapor rub took a big handful of it and shoved it in my five months old face and some of it got in her mouth. I googled it and it said to call poison control, so I did. I gave her. The percentage of the drug told her how much I thought she ingested and gave her my five month olds weight. And she said it’s not enough for me to go ahead and go to the ER and I should just monitor her and call back in four hours to let them know if she’s doing OK. I never had to call poison control with my son and I feel like such a bad mom. I feel like it has been way harder than the second time around.

Breastfeeding

I have a wedding this weekend and I’m currently exclusively breast feeding. Unfortunately kids aren’t allowed to the wedding so I’m trying to think of what’s best for my little boy. To pump or to offer formula and breast milk. He can be a little reluctant at times with bottles but will take it.
Any suggestions? 🙏
I’m also worried about what this could do to my supply

Siblings sharing a bed

What’s everyone’s view on sisters sharing a double bed with a 4-year age gap?

I’ve just had a baby girl, and we also have a stepdaughter and son who stay with us every other week. We’re looking at moving house, and the girls will be sharing a room. My stepdaughter has said she’d love a big bed so she can share with her little sister, and honestly I really love the idea because I want them to have as close a bond as possible — especially as they won’t be together every night since the older two aren’t with us full time.

I’m just curious what other people think about this and whether it’s something you’d do?

What do I do

My mum has been ignoring me since I was 1 week postpartum because she was upset I didn't use her name for our newborn. It's been over 2 weeks she hasn't spoken to me and now she's randomly messaged me asking how I am. No acknowledgement at all that she's just ghosted me through probably the most difficult 2 weeks of my life? Just a casual "hi how are you doing? xx" Like??? Do I even reply? What do I say? Do I just pretend she didn't have a full blown temper tantrum? Do I just keep doing this over and over again?

Is anyone suffering with rage

Lately I’m struggling with anger towards my husband as I feel he doesn’t do enough when too overwhelmed with our baby but I know he does now. Please tell me I’m not alone.

Rear facing until what age?

I’m in 2 minds about whether to continue rear facing or switch to forward facing.

My daughter is 2.5 years old. I’m looking to get a car seat similar to pic below (big, comfortable and long lasting). We probably wouldn’t be using until she’s closer to 3 as she’s got a good couple months left in her current.

I’ve always wanted to rear face as long as possible but she’s got long legs and tbh, even though it’s recommended, I’m just not sure how it’s comfortable? She’s all bent up 😂

First time mum though, so I have no idea… opinions and thoughts? X

Mom guilt

Is anyone else struggling with letting their baby play on their own? I feel like, if my baby is awake, I should be in there playing with her the whole time. I feel guilty whenever I leave her to play and go do things for myself. Anyone else struggling with this? And she’s not crying or anything, just quietly playing on her own. I just feel so guilty. I know she needs to learn to be independent. 😭
