Toddler help!!

I seriously have no idea what to do. My son turned two in June and he’s been kind of acting up and stuff but today he is a completely different baby. I am so confused. I don’t understand what’s happening at all. I mean he has his moments usually, you know, toddler tantrums and such but today he is screaming at the top of his lungs for hours, kicking, and screaming, while hitting me ripping my hair out. He’s taking down the baby gate. He’s slamming his head into the doors and stuff. Anything I try to give him to eat or something even if he asks for it he’s throwing it. I thought that maybe he was getting his back teeth, but I just need to know if teething would cause him to act like this. He’s seriously a completely different toddler and I’m not sure what to do. I need to know if this is normal I guess.

Terrible 2’s. 🥲 My son would act out and then be the calmest, sweetest thing the next day. I feel like the tantrums come & go. At times they have big big feelings, with little ways to express them.
Sometimes it may just be attention seeking as well. I always try to stay calm and redirect my son’s attention when he’s having a fit.

I would contact his pediatrician. A sudden change like this is not normal. I would be concerned he was in pain or had experienced some trauma.

She may have thought it was just because he was there. I would make an appointment just for this.

You have to make them pay attention to your concerns sometimes

Postpartum resentment towards family and friends

I’m a FTM and well over a year postpartum but I still struggle to this day letting go of resentment I built PP toward family members and friends. I went through a very difficult PP those first at least 5 months and when I needed support most, my brain was paying very close attention to who showed up and who didn’t. I was drowning and calling out for help, everyone knew how much I was struggling yet no one showed up for me or they only did once. I’m new to the UK so I have very little friends here(if any) and the only family I have is my husbands. I’ve recently found out some of these said friends/family members that didn’t ever help me are having their first babies and I’m expected by them and others around us to help with the baby and the mum specially during PP. I just cannot bring myself to help them knowing they never helped me(not even texted me to make sure I was ok) when I needed it. Any kind friendly advice to let go of the resentment I’ve held in my heart towards these people since I gave birth? Any one else experienced this?

Cloth diapers trouble

Hi, I need help. My baby girl is 9 weeks. We were using Kudos diapers and they gave her diaper rash. We have cloth diapers and wanted to give it a try. Last night I had her in 1 that only has 4 snaps in the front and she was swimming in it. She peed through the shell this morning so I put another one on her with 2 inserts, one is sewn in the the inside of the shell and the other I just laid on top. We have a few of these type but they are so big and bulky on her. She is only 7lbs. Is there a way to still use these now? She has a disposable on because she was histerical i didn't want to make her wait while we figure it out. This one too has an insert in the pocket and she is sitting on one. Is that too many? She doesn't poop often but pees. I don't want her to have a leak but these seem huge. I snapped the rise buttons top and bottom together and pulled the wings out but they still seem huge. She slips out of them a little. Idk what to do. I have all these cloth diapers I would prefer to use but idk if she is still too tiny. Thank you in advance.

Wake windows

Anyone else’s baby pretty much sleep through the night but they’re awake 80% of the day? My baby only has 2 feeds through the night and is flat out but he’s awake so much in the day lately! He’s probably only slept 60 minutes maximum all day today. Is this normal lol?

Baby Grunting + Trapped Gas

My baby is currently 5 weeks old and loudly grunts all night long, he draws up his legs and will eventually fart a few times but the cycle goes on. It is now also happening during the day time too. Grunting and unsettled. Turns red and cries when trying to poo. Everyone says it’s normal and common? Does it ease off? How can a baby fart like 20 times 😳

Looking for advice

Has anyone breastfed for a certain amount of time then switched to bottles and formula?

I'm 9 weeks into my breastfeed journey and for the last few weeks I've been feeling so unwell, has several blood tests at the doctors and everything came back normal so I'm thinking it could be down to exclusively breastfeeding
