My poor boy 😭

So I get off work come home yesterday and my baby is sitting on the couch with an ice pack on his mouth. So little background info so his 2 yr old brother decided he's going to pick up his brother's pup pad and swing it at him hitting him in the mouth splitting his lip and breaking his baby tooth :'( so now I gotta call his dentist tomorrow and hope that he doesn't need anything done but he might.. anyways does anyone have any tips ideas on how to get a feral 2 yr old boy to stop being so aggressive towards his brother? We have done timeouts, talking to him about gentle hands and asking him to show us gentle hands. But nothing seems to get him to realize it's not ok and he needs to stop.. most times he comes out of his timeout and he does it again. Normally it's a punch or a smack to his brother not usually a hard toy being swung at him...

Start taking stuff away. Toys, tv time, stuffed animal, blanket. Something he likes. So he knows when he does something bad the consequences is something taken from him

Fewer words, more action.
Directly and not for the third time.
Is he throwing something?
No warnings, take it away and say we don't throw toys.
Splashing in the bathtub? Bathtime is over, take him out.
It's not always easy but try it out if it helps you.

Does your 2/3 year old like playing touching their vigina?

She normally does it when she is naked waiting to be bathed or dressed. I am not so worried about her doing it at home, as it is a safe place. But i get worried if she does it at nursery or anywhere else... anyone else experienced this and what do you advise please?

At a loss

Hello,

My 11 month old has been waking like every hour and a half at night and I’m struggling, we co sleep and breastfeed , she cannot fall asleep without being latched onto me, kind of a bad habit I’ve let happen so my partner cannot help, she hates the cot we’ve tried multiple times, has anyone been in the same position and actually got more sleep? I’m mentally drained now :(

Getting Stuff Done

My little girl is nearly 4 weeks old. When I am home alone with her, I am really struggle to get stuff done around the house. I feel like all I do all day, every day is sit on the sofa watching the TV while she's asleep next to me in her moses basket, or feeding, burping and changing her when she's awake.

HELP! When does it get easier to leave your baby alone in a room so you can get stuff done?

Are they gaslighting me?

I’m 10 weeks having my first baby and I’m really not loving pregnancy at all. I’ve never been this exhausted in my life and still have to work full time. And my sisters, mum and partner have all said similar things like ‘you’re only a couple months’ and ‘it’s still early it gets worse’ trying to essentially say it can’t be that bad yet because you’re not pregnant enough. And I’ve never felt more alone in anything in my life. My partner is so supportive but when it comes to this he just cannot understand what I’m going through. So I have no one to vent to without feeling judged. When I talk about my pregnancy I see my sisters eyes all glaze over like ‘here she goes again’ as if it’s not the biggest change in my entire life. Just feel lonely.
