I feel like the world’s worst mum ever.

Yesterday my baby, nearly 1, fell from his high chair. I took him to a&e and they said he is fine but to just keep an eye on him. I honestly can’t shake this feeling away especially that I didn’t get to him quick enough. I feel like the worst mum in the world, I’m not eating, I’m not sleeping and constantly crying about the whole thing. My poor baby; he has a small bruise on his forehead and a bruise and a scratch on his knee. I’m absolutely devastated about the whole thing

Don't worry, your not a bad mom. I had a moment with my baby when she was around three weeks, I had just changed her on the floor as we had no mat to change her, picked her up and knelt up to put her back in her moses basket, this was the time she decided to throw a fit and jerk almost out my arms on the hard wood floor, got her before that could happen, I quickly put her in the basket and curled up and cried, I sat with her afterwards and had a good think of what happened and how to adjust so it didn't happen again because I was scared shitless, but it will happen and I learnt from work to take a step back go through it and make adjustments in the future. It's scary and your not a bad mom, accidents happen

Hi mamas 💕 I wanted to ask if any of you have experienced this with your baby. My baby recently fell off the bed, and I’m feeling very worried. He cried right away, calmed down, and has been acting normal, but I would love to hear from other moms who have gone through something similar. Thank you 🤍

Sleep?

Does anyone else feel although they spend ages putting their baby to sleep for them to sleep 0.5 seconds 😭 I’m literally losing my mind

Does your toddler wear stained clothing?

My daughter loves pasta with red sauce right now, and has stained at least 2 pairs of shorts and 2 shirts. 🫣 I hate to get rid of them, but also don’t want her to wear stained clothes.

Breastfeeding

hi everyone! first time mum here to my 11 day old baby boy. I've been breast feeding my baby and I wondered is it normal for him to want to be on my boob every hour? I know it's for his comfort too but I wanted to know if anyone else experienced this and does it get better, will he eventually stop latching as often? he wakes in the night every hour and a half for a feed so I'm pretty exhausted. my midwife is happy with my latch and said he's getting what he needs, however im only pumping 1oz a day so I'm struggling to make enough for a bottle in between breastfeeding for my partner to help me. any advice or tips please? ☺️

Toddler driving me nuts

I’m really struggling at the moment with my toddler. She’s two and a half and is going through the hardest stage yet. Running in the road, out of doors, earlier she walked into the path of a car (usually has reins on) and on top of that she’s constantly screaming, tantruming and hitting me too or throwing herself on the floor screaming and refusing to move. Along with deciding to just ignore me when she’s in a mood. I don’t get many breaks as we only have a couple people who will help out. But yeah she’s pushing every button I have at the moment and I adore her but right now I’m at breaking point. Along with having type one diabetes and fibromyalgia I’m struggling to manage everything. Her dads amazing but works 10 hours a day. Any advice for this crazy stage?

Massage or chiropractor

It's my birthday today and some family member have given me some cash to treat myself with..
I'm 37 weeks pregnant and though I've been lucky to not have many aches and pains during the earlier months, these last couple of weeks (heatwave is probably not helping) have been a little uncomfortable to say the least.

Last time I was seen by the midwife baby was engaged. And defo feels it now when I'm walking 😅 ache lower back/hips and yesterday the arches of my feet felt like they were going flat it was so uncomfortable (I don't think they are again think it's just the weight and heat?)

What would you guys recommend at this stage in pregnancy? Having a massage or contact a chiropractor? I never thought of chiropractor but have seen other pregnant ladies highly recomending seeing a chiropractor.

Thanks for taking time to read.
Love 💜
