Feeling of guilt
So I will be starting work on the 9th of September after 3 and a half years, and I feel guilty of leaving my daughter in the daycare. And I am just overthinking everything, what if she cries a lot, what if she doesn’t eat a lot and etc.
Is this normal or am I just overreacting.

You are not overreacting but much rather you are feeling something sooo normal. Going back work after 3 and a half years is not easy!
The right day care is actually awesome, my daughter is 20 months and she’s been going daycare since she was 1. I leave her two days a week for full days and she is thriving!
I have guilt sometimes but I also use it as an opportunity for her to mingle with other babies and children alongside learning social skills which she does not get at home.
A lot of mums would agree, you are feeling something sooo normal xxx
Its normal and she's probably going to seem to have a rough start at the daycare but you both will adjust quickly. Soon you'll be sad that she just walks in and says bye to you. It definitely will be an adjustment but try not to be to hard on yourself, your doing what you have to do and your daughter will make friends
It's normal. Trust your instincts.

Staying awake at night
It’s incredibly difficult to stay awake while breastfeeding the baby at night. Sometimes I fall asleep with him on my chest and it’s so dangerous. I don’t know how to avoid it but I also have to keep him on my chest after feeds due to reflux.

2 YO sticking fingers in his butt
Ok, something I have never thought I’d have to post and ask. But idk what to do. I get exploration is normal at this age, (just turned 2 a month ago) and at first it was digging in his diaper. But then at bath he keeps sticking his fingers in his butt hole, and not just a little. I caught him the other day about to try to put a toy in there. I continue to tell him that is ouchy and can get sick or hurt as he obviously still sticks his hands in his mouth as well. I also tell him that he can play with his toes or belly button instead but he just ignores me. I’m worried he is going to hurt himself among other things.
Anyone else’s child did/does this? Will he just stop one day? Any solutions? I’m at a loss here 🫠

Napping
I’m fully aware babies still need lots of contact naps at the moment, however when I try and transfer him he just wakes instantly and if my partner does, he continues to sleep! Anyone else experiencing this, it’s so frustrating

Any Kendamil moms here? Please help 😪
Any Kendamil mums here? Please help 😩
Has anyone else recently been having trouble getting Kendamil formula to dissolve properly?
No matter how carefully I prepare it, I’m still seeing quite a lot of undissolved particles/residue in the bottle. I’ve contacted Kendamil and they’ve reassured me that it’s normal and safe, but I’d really love to hear from other mums actually using it.
Is yours dissolving completely, or are you noticing the same thing with the newer tins/batches?
Please tell me I’m not the only one because I feel like I’m going crazy over this milk 😭😂
