10 week old

Hi my little boy is 10 weeks old on Sunday and he’s exclusively breastfed but over the last week he’s been favouring my right breast and not really taking my left too well. I didn’t breastfeed my first son so this is all new to me. Can baby have a favourite side to feed on, thanks for any advice

Can a 4 years old have badness inside/be a bad person already?

My friends daughter is only 4 but is really cruel. Always has to make someone feel bad or less, forcing them to give her what they have, excluding them, she is always so serious even with adults like she hates everyone and everything and only smiles if she is doing something bad. She makes her friends beg for food for instance and when my daughter runs excited to see her she looks at her with disgust and walks away (even if she later tries to find her) another small thing she tries to get my attention copying things that my daughter just done like asking me to wash her hands (I think is a competition with my little one) and she has 0 respect for other adults. For instance her mum asked me to help her as she was in a dangerous bit of the playpark and her mum was feeding the baby. She said in a very rude way: go and sit with my mum over there. I'm pulling my daughter away from her just now because I know my daughter loves her but also causes her stress as when they are together my daughter has episodes she wouldn't have afterwards. Opinions please

When did everyone’s baby’s start sleeping through the night?

My boy is almost 6 months old and has never slept through the night, he wakes up at least twice but mostly more than that. Last night he was up every hour! He always want a bottle to go back to sleep, even when he’s not hungry and I’ve tried everything to stop the bottles through the night, dummies, rocking, co sleeping but he still needs them for comfort even if it’s only a few sips. Thing is sometimes he will drink the full thing, so I feel I can’t stop offering completely just incase he really is hungry. I don’t know what I’m hoping from this, maybe some advice or hope that it does get better…

Baby bed time - alone?

Is anyone putting their baby to sleep upstairs/in the bed room and not staying in the room with them? I normally put her to bed at 10pm in the next to me and then go to bed myself but she tends to fall asleep at 8pm ish these days but it’s broken sleep as she gets serious FOMO. I would get a camera but wasn’t sure if she was too young to be alone (11 weeks) I would get a monitor, I just don’t fancy an 8pm bedtime and some time with my partner alone would be nice!!

White noise machine / toy

Can anyone recommend a white noise machine or toy please struggling to get my 3 week old to sleep at night !!

Protecting my peace.

I’ve been dealing with a very overly involved MIL. She try’s so hard to ask everyone about my business even after my husband tells her to stop asking and that it’s not any of her business. She thinks that I create drama for my husband when I’m genuinely doing nothing wrong. She sits in my face and acts like we’re so close but behind my back, she’s trying to make me seem evil. She even acts like we’re so close whenever my own parents are visiting.

I know she’s not gonna change because this is who she is. Everytime I go over or back when we lived with her, she would/is always on the phone with someone talking shit about another person.

Is it messed up for me to step back and have my husband bring my son to see her, while I stay home? Lmk if you have any advice or other ideas of what I could do…

I’m so hurt over her being what feels two faced. I don’t know what to do. I started therapy to regulate my emotions and to learn how to not let things bother me but why do I have to get help for someone else’s issues? Ugh idk.

My baby is bored

I live in a remote area and I can’t go out everyday. On days where I’m home, my baby is just bored all the time, she fusses so much (moaning really, rather than crying). She can’t sit up or crawl yet so it’s hard for her to play independently. I interact as much as possible but as the day goes by, I run out of ideas! I’ve read about how some babies are happy to just watch their mum do things around the house, but mine isn’t interested and she’ll just fuss. Anyone been in that situation? Any advice?
