16 month stopped talking

i’m a little worried about my 16 month old son. he was saying mama, dada, baba and head then a few weeks ago started only saying dada and is now barely even saying that. he still responds to his name but not as much and he also doesn’t point at things and never has. i took him to the doctors and they don’t seem to concerend but i can’t help but worry! has anyone else experienced this and what was the outcome?

Am I being crazy?

Hi, so I just came on my period and yesterday afternoon I kicked my husband out for being too rough with my baby, he refused to see my point of view and instead made me feel bad, he’s done this so much.

He struggles to put her to sleep so he results to essentially forcing her to sleep, he picks her up roughly and plays with her too intensely for my liking she’s only three months so I don’t want to hurt her but he just doesn’t see it that way, whenever he puts her to sleep she screams but it’s different with me? I can’t tell whether I overreacted or not, I’m currently dealing with postpartum depression, anxiety and psychosis, I’m scared I overreacted.

Baby will only sleep on me, not in crib—help!

My baby settles instantly when he’s in my arms but cries or screams the moment I put him in his next to me crib. Has anyone found tips or gentle ways to help their baby sleep in the crib rather than just on them? Would love to hear what worked for others.

Do you and your partner have sex in the same room as your baby?

I recently saw a discussion about this on insta comments and it was a very split discussion so I was wondering how people here felt about it? (I just want to add I don’t want any judgement or negative comments to people who do or don’t decide to do this I just wanted to see how people feel)

In my own personal experience me and my partner do, our baby is 7 months old and sleeps independently in his own crib but he’s still in our room we never do it while he’s awake, under the covers in the dark so nothing is visible and if he wakes up we stop immediately for us personally doing it “when the baby isn’t around” just isn’t a possibility and we literally never have time to ourselves otherwise I will say we have massively toned down how we’re intimate with each other so we arent loud or doing crazy 50 shades style like we would pre baby and as soon as he’s older or old enough to like pull himself up and actually see what’s happening it’ll stop I don’t want it to be a situation where he ever sees us doing the act but for now I feel like he’s still unaware enough that it’s okay and like I said it’s only ever when he’s dead asleep sometimes I do feel a bit weird about it and it kills the mood so we stop.

Struggling

Hey ladies I feel like the worst mother in the world. I’m really struggling this month due to my daughter’s birthday last month and costly back and forth to court over child arrangement and I’m literally broke. Is anyone able to help me with formula nappies wipes and some snacks for the kids please? I don’t normally ask but it’s my last resort.

I’ve asked in my local free sites but heard nothing and there’s a waiting list on our food bank

So sorry to ask everyone. Xxx

I don’t want to do this anymore.

I’ve turned to cutting again. I tried to go to a hospital but my family won’t let me. I’m not on any medication and I’m waiting for part 2 of my psych evaluation to figure out what I have and medication to take but I’m just so over this. I love my kids but it’s just not enough anymore and it breaks me to even believe that. 3 under 5 is really getting to me while having no partner to help. I never imagined living past my 18th birthday and yet here I am. Birth control failed me and my bd threatened to kill me if I got an abortion so I listened but fuck idk what to do anymore. The house is a mess I’ve lost 35lbs in 2 months I just want my babies happy and I don’t think I’m cut out for this

Convertible Car Seat

Moms, when did you ditch the infant car seat and switch to a convertible car seat? And which convertible car seat did you go with? Would love to hear what you liked (or didn’t like) about yours! 😊
