Is this only my child

My daughter constantly is hurting me I am covered in bruises all over even my face as she’s so rough I’m so overstimulated with the constant trampling on me and hitting me pulling my hair and twisting her feet into me and pinching ! Not to mention I am constantly a target for throwing things at launching things when she’s angry
My legs are absolutely covered in bruises

Hi. Sorry to hear this.
My 2 year old bites and pinches a lot (especially his older brother!), which can be normal at this age, because they're testing boundaries. I usually tell him the consequences of not stopping and then he stops until the next time!
Have you spoken to a health visitor about your daughter's behaviour? If you haven't had your 2 year review, that's the best time to raise your concerns. Otherwise, speak to your health visitor as soon as you can, so they can discuss your concerns and best next steps.

Like the other poster says, theyre probably testing boundaries. Mine is constantly throwing things and he looks at me and grins when he does it. It might not work with your little one but we give one warning and tell him what not to do. The second time we hold his hands together (gently) tell him no again and remove him from the situation (literally just a couple of feet away). He sticks out his bottom lip and sometimes cries but it usually is enough to distract him. Its really hard at this age because I dont think they fully understand but were just trying to be consistent and hope it sinks in.

My 2 year old is currently going through an Autism assessment but she can be extremely physical, even when she's not having a meltdown she will randomly scratch, bite, hit, rip hair out etc for no reason. It's catastrophic when she's having a wally. She'll even lash out at strangers that walk past. I don't think it's unusual for most two year olds to test boundaries and lash out occasionally but if it's all the time I'd probably speak to your HV.

Dehydrated over night?

My boy, 5 weeks old, has been sleeping really well through the night but woke up this morning with a dry nappy so I tickled his tummy with a wipe and he did a wee but it was not much and had the tiniest bit of urate crystals. I'll be contacting hv at 9 but does anyone have any suggestions? Should I be waking him for a night feed?
He slept 10:30pm till 5am which is great but I'm worried it's dehydrating him. Anyone had a similar experience?

Feeling paranoid 🤯

My brother was playing with my 9 month d and was just throwing him in the air… Im paranoid that he will get brain damage or something as I googled it and it said you shouldn’t throw them in the air. It wasn’t done roughly. He was just playing with him 😩🥺

Am I in the wrong ?

So me and my partner have an on going issue.
I have got up every night and every morning with our daughter ( 2half )
He doesn't get up till 9am He gets ready and goes to work around 9:30 - 9:45 so He spends about 15 minutes with us each morning. This is my problem 🙄 He turns round to me every time I bring this up and says I'm working on the road so I need my sleep unless you want me to have an accident. I'm angry all the time about his respons as I feel it's just an excuse for not getting up and spending time with us. He doesn't get back till around 7:30 or later each night so he doesn't get to see our daughter much as she is in bed by 8 - 8:30. So He will have about half hour if that. He then decides to come to bed about 1 or later so we don't see echother much but apparently that's my fault as I go up to bed as my daughter is normally up in the night and full awake by 6am.

Am i in the wrong for addressing He doesn't spend enough time with his daughter and he should get-up earlier to spend this time with her before work 🤷‍♀️( He only has one day a week off )

Is there TMI on here or am I just too sensitive?

I see a lot of posts about abuse, neglect, and honestly medical emergencies on here. One reason I stray from social media is because the lack of discernment of people.

Therapy is what some of these posts need to be directed towards. Calling the cops on a handful of others. I know we are hormonal and what not. But if you don’t want honest opinions and bluntness along with the more gentle moms of comfort. Is it too much to ask, “Should I post this? Do I really want a strangers opinion on this matter?”

And I could be wrong and that’s okay too.

Crying

Does anyone else’s baby just cry allll the time. I feel like the only time my baby doesn’t cry is when they’re asleep! She does have reflux but is on medication for this but I just feel like unless I hold her all day she just cries it’s so exhausting

Feeding

My little one is 8 weeks old and I’ve noticed she doesn’t wake up for feeds during the night now. She can go 7-8 hours without waking up, is that normal? I’ve tried to wake her up in btw to give her for a feed as I get worried she’s not drinking enough. She will sometimes take to it.
