Let down issues

So when I first started bf I had an incredibly fast and strong let down and baby would basically choke, she got used to this though and feeding was going so well
But the last couple of weeks my letdown takes forever to happen, she will latch and unlatch in frustration over and over until my letdown comes which is sometimes 5minutes +
I have tried massaging and hand expressing first ect but it’s so stressful! Some times baby is getting so upset she just woke wait long enough and then just doesn’t eat
I feel my boobs sting when letdown comes so I can tell when milk comes and then she settles straight away when it comes out so I know the letdown is the issue but how do I make my letdown faster?

Rolling…

14 week baby started rolling 2 weeks ago, this morning I have found him face down (I panicked straight away and turned him on his back) - he was fine. 5 mins later he is sound asleep on his side!

He can’t roll front to back yet. Neck control is improving daily but I’m terrified to sleep now.

Any advice welcome🥲

Parenting styles

Am i in the wrong? So for context, me and my boyfriend have different parenting styles. I prefer to discipline our daughter by calmly explaing what she did wrong, asking her to apologise and make sure the persons okay whereas my boyfriend prefers to raise his voice so she starts crying and pyt her in time out and tell me im not allowed to go "save" her. I don't feel there's a need to put her in timeout and make her cry, i feel like it's just creating unnessecary trauma. He keeps complaing that i'm disipline her properly and that i'll soon learn why we don't take her out of timeout and why we shout and apparently i'm making her hate him by being the gentler parent but i know she loves her dad so much. What do you guys think?

Future kid on the news?

Ok y’all I hope my emotional brain is telling me some bad information!
My logic brain is quietly saying “nooooooo???”

My anxiety brain is telling me that my 14 month old
* Biting me until I bruise
* RUNNNING to bite EVERYONES toes
* pulling my hair and my husbands hair like he has a CLUMP of hair in his hand
* ripping off my glasses and immediately putting them in his mouth to lick them

I’m saying no firmly no smiles or anything.

He is DYING LAUGHING.

Is he going to grow up and hurt others?

How do I put my baby down?!

We are 6wks and he still refuses to be put down. I’ve given up on the Moses basket and am trying to co- sleep but every time I put him down he wakes instantly. I’m exhausted and I know it’s not safe him constantly sleeping on me…
