14 month old taking off cloth diaper

Hi all. I use Alvababy adjustable pocket diapers. My 14 month old baby boy is constantly unsnapping his diapers. Most of the time it is right after he pees, but other times his diaper is dry.

Anyone experience this? Any advice?

My son started doing this closer to 18M but we put him on pants/shorts “punishment” lol which just meant he had to be wearing pants of some sort at all times and it worked until we were ready to start potty training a few months later

Doing it after he pees seems more like an acknowledgment of soiling which may be an inconvenient but positive potty training sign?

We’re not quite there yet but I like the simple seed baby clothes. Rather than snaps they have a rear opening so they can’t as easily access their diaper?

Struggling with breastfeeding vs. bottle as I return to work

I'm going back to work part-time, and my mom and mother-in-law are helping with childcare. My baby prefers breastfeeding but will take a bottle, though it's not her favorite, and my MIL had a hard time settling her recently. My husband suggests switching to bottles more at home, but I’m not sure I'm ready to stop breastfeeding completely. Has anyone else faced this? Any tips for making this transition easier while keeping our bond?

What would you have done?

I was at a splashpad today where there was also a sandpit.
I was playing with my daughter when I heard a boy say "you're gonna ruin those shoes". After a few minutes I noticed that the other boy (who was about 7 years old) was wearing my trainers that I'd left on the edge, and had got them super wet and sandy. The boy walked over to his mum who was sat with her friends and she just started laughing and had her hand over her mouth. Her and her friends stayed sitting and chatting and the boy just threw them onto the sand.

I think I’m ruining my relationship but can’t change my behaviour

I’m 3m pp, breastfeeding, c section for context. I have no interest in being touched, to the point it feels like an aversion, like I’m suddenly asexual. My partner and I didn’t have a great start for the first 2 months pp. He was so unhelpful and rude and kept trying to start arguments over anything seemingly just for attention. The last month has been entirely different, he’s so helpful around the house and makes an effort with us and has such a lovely relationship with the baby.
We’ve always been best friends and it feels like the friendship part is back, but he goes to hug or kiss me or be flirty or sexual and nothing switches on for me. He’s not complaining, he can see I’m being a mum 24/7 busy breastfeeding or nappy changing or playing or being a bed for our baby, but I do feel bad that he can probably tell his feelings just aren’t reciprocated. It’s like I KNOW I love him but all feeling other than the love I have for our baby is numb. Does this go away? It’s like I only have space in my heart for one and it’s awful thinking that. Is there something wrong with me? Or is this just life postpartum? How long until it goes?

Nappies!

Just out of curiosity and no judgements!!!!! How often are we changing our little one nappies (if they don’t look full and there’s no poop)

True or false?: there is nothing wrong with saying you hate breastfeeding as a breastfeeding Mum

I'm tired of the judgemental looks or comments I get when I speak about how I hate breastfeeding...a lot of it comes from other breastfeeding Mums or as I like to controversially call them: titty police/breastfeeding cult. Another reaction I get is that I need "mental health help" 🤦🏼‍♀️ the main issue is women who had an easy journey become ignorant and judgemental, but there is nothing wrong with hating it. I can still do what's best for our son but I don't have to like it. True or false?
