BD weird co-parent

Any advice on how to deal with a bd who does the bare minimum when baby is ill, he calls and say ‘keep me posted’ rather than offering any practical help - last time my baby had an allergy reaction (which was traumatising to me) whilst he was out of the country and then when i informed him he just downplayed it saying oh at least we now know she is allergic, i am sure she is ok - Mind you this same man betrayed me whilst pregnant and brought another woman who he is now living with to the country 🙄 and yet he wants to co-parent. I also notice he just wants to be around when my baby is happy etc and the responsibility or decision making is minimal :/ - How can i deal with this?

Nappies

Hi girlies, wondering what nappies are decent these days (preferably own brands). I fell in love with Tesco nappies but they’ve now changed the design and they’re so thin and the tabs are super stretchy which makes the tongues come out. Also tried Aldi nappies (they’re alright in younger sizes but find older sizes leak LOADS) and Asda (despised how thin they were). Any people recommend!

Nappies

Super random. But has anybody used nappies like this before, I was gifted them for my baby shower and threw the packaging away & I love them! But I can't find the brand of the nappies to buy more 😭😭

Routine

Is my baby meant to be in a routine by now?

She usually sleeps 7pm-5am but I feel like is this too big a gap?

I have tried pushing naps about but she gets besides her overtired.

Mental health

Since baby has been born I've had this adrenaline spike and it's just continued. Idk how to explain it other than I'm just running at 150% all the time? I walk really fast, my minds going really fast, I'm super quick with my hands. I can change a nappy in less than 10 seconds.

I've been like this since baby has been born. I thought it'd go away but it's continued.

I'm really efficient at everything but it's starting to take it's toll and I'm really scared that I'm going to "crash". I become like a robot and forget my feelings it's like I'm on autopilot all the time.

Does this sound like I'm unstable? Idk what's wrong with me tbh, and idk how to resolve this.

How do you know when your 2 year old ‘loves’ something?

I feel so stupid asking this but when I hear people say oh my child loves Toy Story or lighting McQueen, I just wonder how they know that 🤣😅 my son doesn’t really watch telly if he does it only Miss Rachel occasionally to try and help with his speech but there isn’t anything he loves as such so I just wonder how people know or is it for me introduce something like that and see how he takes to it even though he wouldn’t just sit and watch telly anyway

Am I autistic?

I like to be in my own,when someone makes an arrangment and dilont turn up on time I get mad,my daughters friends was supposed to come at 3pm,she's not here and i haven't heard from mum so is she coming at all? Like I need to know! I have a strong sense of justice,always have done,even at school I would always stand up to people who mmwere mistreated by others,even teachers...I struggle with relationships,the while emotion side of it is too much,did I do something wrong? Always worrying and stressing,I m not great with physical touch or intimacy,I like sex of I masteubate but the thought of someone touching me or kissing me,its too much.....
