Send help lol 😆

Anyone else feel like this? So my audhd 9 year old keeps playing the McDonald's whistle on her tablet ( he used to hate the adverts but listening to this is helping him ) which is good as he won't run out the room screaming now. But now im trying not to get triggered by it as its on repeat. What's something your kids do that drives you crazy but keeps them calm ?

Introducing formula after 6 months EBF

Looking for advice on how to introduce my 6 month old to formula after being exclusively breastfed. I want to continue breastfeeding when I can (combi feed) but I go back to work soon and won’t have time to express when there so worry I won’t be able to stock up enough for each day I’m in work. Baby has never had a problem drinking breast milk from the bottle in the few times I’ve left him with family but is outright refusing to drink formula (tried powder and ready made). Drank a few once day 1, day 2 drank half of that, day 3 onward wouldn’t drink it at all! Anyone who has managed to successfully introduce formula at a later stage, any advice would be appreciated.

Not enjoying parenthood

Anyone else not enjoying parenthood as much as they thought they would? My little girl is 13 weeks old and screams inconsolably every evening. It's so stressful and really taking its toll on me and my partner as it's been like this for weeks now. I just feel a bit trapped and I'm not enjoying being a Mum as much as I thought I would. It goes without saying that I love my little girl so much, I'm just finding this phase so difficult

How long before I can stand without pain?

10 days post-partum, still unable to stand for more than a few minutes without pain that radiates through my pelvis and demands I sit back down for it to stop.
Sitting is uncomfortable, I had a 2nd degree tear and stitches for a vaginal wall repair but the pain when standing is extreme, walking is fine it only is an issue if stood still.

It's really caught me off guard I thought recovery would be easier than this I can't even stand and wash some dishes without feeling close to tears and needing to stop and sit

3 year old loves hugging strangers- any advice?

My 3.5 year old always says hello to any passing by stranger and recently she’s also started going up to random people especially adults who happen to have kids with them and she goes and hugs their legs. I felt really embarrassed today as a man was with his 2 children in a coffee shop and she went over and started hugging his legs but he was very friendly and told me not to worry but how do I communicate with my child? Should I tell them not to hug strangers? Probably seems like such a dumb question but want to deal with it best I can without affecting her friendliness towards people as it’s obviously good she’s friendly.
