No honestly I kept thinking is temporary it’s just a phase and it’ll get better and it actually did. You’re doing nothing wrong at all and I believe we’re living the same 😂

Something I’ve found very helpful is giving options. “Are you going to climb in the buggy yourself or is mummy going to put you in?” And it’s been amazing for getting him to do things he would previously have a tantrum about. Most of the time he chooses the do it yourself option but if he refuses to choose then it’s the mummy option and I’ll just put him into the buggy having a tantrum (I’ve not had to do this much!). “Are we putting your shoes or sandals on?” I also don’t ask him to do something 10 times. If he doesn’t do something the first time I’ll come over to him and make sure he does it! Obviously he still has tantrums and it’s a completely normal developmental process but these are just things I’ve found helpful ☺️

Yea its tiring and frustrating at times😭. Sometimes I miss the baby stage feel like she was easier back then. But I love how funny toddlers are and seeing them talk and run and climb. Its ups and downs. Def some days I feel like pulling my hair out with the clinginess and tantrums. The picky eating too is hard at this age

Is it bad that my son is not the centre of my universe

We are 6 weeks in with my little boy. I adore him, he brings a smile face whenever I look at him.
However I do not think he is the centre of my universe.
I am a planet with multiple suns and my son is one of them perhaps one of the bigger ones but he is not the only sun in my life.

Is this unusual to say and feel ?

Is there a difference in intelligence between formula fed and breast fed

Apparently breast fed are more clever and hit their milestones early is this true ???

Breast pumping?

Hi all, question to mums out there who were/are exclusively pumping. When is it a good time to stop? I know everyone is different. However, my baby (4weeks) is currently comby feeding and she will have formula and pumped breast milk in a bottle. I know that the breast milk has a lot of good nutritions but having to pump up to 8 times a day can be a bit challenging. When do you know it's time to start reducing the pumping sessions and eventually stop? FYI my milk supply is not amazing so I usually get about 70-80ml per pump

Breastfeeding second child advice

Anyone got advice on breastfeeding second child?
I had an awful experience breastfeeding my daughter and ended up using formula within 2 weeks. My son is nearly 3 weeks old and we are successfully breastfeeding, but my gosh the mum guilt is so strong because I can’t just be with my daughter when she wants/ needs me. I also feel like I miss out playing with her when my son needs feeding. I desperately want to keep breastfeeding but equally I want to give up too because bottle feeding gives me that flexibility. I don’t want to pump because I found that last time equally as time consuming.
