Arguing in front of baby

First time mum here to a 10 month old. Ever since we had the baby my husband and I have been arguing a lot. They are not explosive fights or anything distressing they’re mostly bickering and being annoyed at each other. I know our relationship is fine and it’s just ups and downs but what worries me is that our LG sees this. I’ve always intended not to have arguments in front of her but that turned out to be super unrealistic.. or maybe it’s doable and I’m just failing at it miserably

I just feel so bad now and I’m worried it’ll teach her to speak unkindly or affect her and her wellbeing in some way 😔😔

If you do argue in front of her make sure you "repair" in front of her because that's healthier than never arguing in front of her at all. Talk it out apologise in front of her so she sees conflict but knows how to resolve it.

Same in my house. I really don’t want to argue in front of my LO and we agreed on it but arguments have happened since pregnancy. Unfortunately my partner doesn’t believe in repairing, as it just turns into another argument.

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?

Should I take milk in my hospital bag?

Hiya,

I’m about to be 39 weeks and so far I seem to have no milk, I’ve tried all the tips of warm massage etc but can’t seem to get anything which makes me think my milk may not come until possibly after baby is born (if at all)

Did anyone else struggle with this or have delayed milk? If so would you recommend me taking some instant baby milk in my hospital bag or would the hospital provide this if my milk hadn’t come in yet?

Sleep schedule

I need some advice.I have a twenty one month old son.His name is miles.He's such a great baby but lately, he's been going down for his normal bedtime. 738 and then wakes up at 12 o'clock at midnight and stays up the rest of night, dancing carrying on. I've done everything song to Em rock. Try to Rock Em to sleep, played his soothing music. You name it, I've done it and it just doesn't work. And it's like he's sleeping. I mean, I haven't saw me, but he's too young to haven't saw me yet. I feel like he thinks he's gonna miss something till lately. Here and there I've been given a melatonin which I know it's just a supplement and it's not addictive. But they can get accustomed to that. And by taking nuts, that's the only way they can go to sleep. And I don't want him to feel like that. And honestly, he's got the gists of what I'm putting something in this milk because he throws the milk bottle. Now and it's horrible. I don't like to give it to him all the time. And sometimes it works, but sometimes it does not.And he is so hyper, he's bouncing off the walls, even worse than he was before.I just need some help.I'm a single mother and i'm not getting a lot of sleep at all.I just need some guidance, please.Ladies

Owlet Sock

Just wondering if anyone else experiences issues with the owlet sock disconnecting from the base station every night?
The base station is less than 10ft from baby and it still disconnects every night without fail 😩
Has anyone used an alternative to the owlet that they would recommend because I’m ready for launching it out the window at this point 😅

Nappies

What nappies are we using at night time? My 9 month old is leaking every night which results in us having to change him head to toe and then we are up for 2 hours😩 we’ve always used Asda nappies and never had a problem, I brought pampers pull ups but they are also leaking. I have gone up a size to! 🫠
