Cows milk introduction (baby not interested?)

I’m due back at work in a few weeks, baby is still EBF but I’ve tried a few times just putting some cows milk in a cup and giving to her but as soon as it hits her mouth she just opens her mouth and lets it all run out.

She takes water from the exact same cup with meals so I know she can do it.

Is this a normal reaction because it’s something new and do I just persist or is there anything else I can try?

For context, I do want to start weaning off breastfeeding hence wanting to introduce cows milk from the cup. I do believe bf is causing so many sleep issues for us as baby still wakes 5/6/7 times a night and only wants boob and I’ve survived as long as I can, I need to try and sleep if I’m back working full time.

*she will be over 1 by the time we’ve completely stopped*

Emotionally drained

I don't understand why my daughter is so evil and negative 24/7 unless she is begging for something. That's the only time she smiles and is happy for a second. Im literally literally so tired of it. I don't want her around me anymore. I've been crying all day because I genuinely don't know what to do with or for her anymore.. I just need someone to talk to, other than the ones that knows me or her. Because they just don't get it or understand it. They brush it off and I'm literally drained with her.

Doctor made me uncomfortable

My husband slipped down the stairs while holding my daughter last week so we took her to the doctor to be checked. She had a little rug burn on her forehead but was perfectly fine and her normal happy self. Because it was a last minute visit we didn’t see our regular doctor & this doctor checked her thoroughly… including the inside of her vagina.. I’m not wrong for being uncomfortable with this right? My daughter is 10 months old and this is the first doctor to do this and when I said “why hasn’t anyone else done this?” she goes “oh uh good question”..

6 week old smiling?

Is it possible for my 6 week old to be smiling yet? I took this photo and thought it was just a lucky capture however today she looked at me and smiled for a few seconds. Id like to believe shes actually smiling but is she? Lol is it even possible at this age

Breast feeding AND bottle?!

Heyy mama’s, I need some help or advice or even some experience. I’m expecting in about a month and my husband wants to help with feeding so I’m not getting up every 2 hours. I am going to be breast feeding and pumping as well and he wants to help bottle feed (breast milk) in-between so I can get a bit of sleep. Do you think bottle feeding might make the little one not want to breast feed? Does it usually work out to do both? Should I avoid mix feeding? Not too sure what to do..!

Nappy Brand

When I went on maternity leave, I was gifted a nappy cake from a charity through my work. The nappies were out of their packet so I am unsure on their brand & want to know before using.

Does anyone know what brand these are? Added a picture for reference!

On edge

I really feel like I’m on the edge of a mental break down, my newly 2 year old has always been a hard baby but she’s an even harder toddler, never keeps still can’t take her absolutely anywhere, has tantrums that last hours and start from the absolute second she’s awake
I’m just at a loss with her behaviour it’s impossible she screams all day long nothing pleases her
What the fuck am i doing so wrong that my child is so unbelievably unhappy around me
Im so depressed and have daily headaches from the screaming for 6 hours a day
