Naps

My child is still firmly on two naps…. Morning & afternoon. He’s knackered for both. He doesn’t sleep through the night. I feel like I should trial one nap a day but i can’t see how he’d function without his morning nap!

Overfeeding?

My two and half week old has been showing hunger cues every hour and half or two hours and I offer however much formula until he stops. Sometimes he wants to go to 3-4 oz which seems like a lot this early on. I’ve tried offering a paci/swaddling and he doesn’t need a diaper change but he gets so fussy and I can’t calm him any other way but to feed him. However his stomach seems upset, he has had diarrhea and doesn’t want to burp after feedings. I’ve thought he’s just been cluster feeding but it’s been over a week of this so it feels prolong.

Sleeping through the night

Anyone else’s LO suddenly started sleeping through. This isn't me complaining or boasting? It took me completely by surprise and can't remember my son doing it this early.

When did your toddler tell they love you without prompts or anything?

My little guy 3yo has kissed me out of the blue before to show affectionate and I die inside. I'm just wondering if I love you is later?! Not asking for selfish reasons (feel like I come across like that by asking this!) .. wonder if it's a comprehension thing or speech thing or temperament or something

How old is your child and how many naps do they take?

I have a newly 1 year old and she still takes 3 to 4 naps a day. I’ve been told by other moms that she shouldn’t be napping that much and should transition to only one nap.
Is your child under 2 or even ages 3-5 still napping a lot or no?

Feeding

I breastfed my daughter for a year, she had tongue tie and we had thar released, our journey was hard but we got there. I now have a 6 week old son who I breastfeed and it's been a battle, he struggles latching and staying on etc it got a bit better and I definitely have milk, but it's been very hard at times. I'm now at the point where I dread feeding times, it's constantly on my mind, when did I last feed? How long did he feed? Is he going to be uncomfortably upset during or after or both. Etc etc it's a real battle I know he's doing what babies do cluster feed, fuss etc but I just cant manage it. I actually feel like rubbing away. I feel like a failure at everything. I'm like a stuck record going on about it all time. My husbands getting annoyed with me. I just this minute given up breastfeeding as I was crying. Getting annoyed etc it's not fair on my baby. So I got a ready made formula bottle and given him that, although he still had trouble latching on bottle but he did take it.
Why am I still feeling like this and not relieved has taken a bottle. I really wanted to enjoy breastfeeding but I can't. I also don't know why I can't feel good about bottle feeding, when I know it will help us both. I just can't rationalise.
Also how do I just stop making milk if I don't breastfeed?

My 3 year old has behavior issues. Does it get better?

We got him evaluated at 2 for behavior issues they said he was in the monitor range but didn’t require services. He still hits people all the time. At his new daycare 2 kids came up to me and told me that Tyler hit them…I’m mortified. I don’t know what to do. He’s a really sweet kid sometimes and other times he’s a lot. He was having like 20 minutes tantrums but that has improved to 5 minutes or less. Has anyone else had a kid that was a lot, did they grow out of it?
