Please help me

Anyone wanna save me from my extremely bad tempered, rude speaking, eye rolling, attitude giving daughter? I'm ready to check myself into a lovely grippy sock vacation at this point she is driving me insane. I don't know where she got it in her to believe it is okay to act the way she does. She steals constantly and the meltdowns she has when she has to face consequences have actually had the cops called on us a few times. She's in therapy and she's on medication and I can't even seem to get a little bit of peace. Things get worse every day. No matter how much I try to talk to her and be calm and patient with her nothing clicks. Days get so bad that I question if I'm a good enough mom for her or she would be better off without me. I hate thinking that. But she even tried to run away after getting in trouble for stealing. I don't know what to do anymore.

Rant

So I've followed the trial on Lindsay Clancy and now my algorithm is full of things on it. Since the mistrial I've seen so many creators posting complete lies about PPD and PPP. Not every mother who has/had it will annihilate Thier families or themselves. They are 2 VERY different things and seem to be being used interchangeably.
Mental health is a real issue and with all this misinformation and judgement surrounding it now it seems even less likely than before that people will try reach out for help. I can completely understand the desire to have her locked up and the key thrown away, but not guilty due to mental state isn't a new defence, in her state the prosecution has to prove she was criminally responsible. Also 11 people didn't think the prosecution proved that she was criminally culpable due to her mental health, that is the law. I am certain if ANY of her/the kids family thought the kids life were at risk they wouldn't have taken the risk so people blaming them is also just annoying me... Am I the only person with a nuanced view on this case!?

Crawling

My little boy is only 4.5 months old but so far he’s met every milestone early. The last few days he keeps rolling on his tummy and then lifting his bum up and moving his legs like he’s trying to crawl. Obviously he can’t and he gets so upset screaming and crying, but as soon as I roll him on his back he’s straight back on his tummy crying again 😩 is this just something I have to wait out until he learns how to do it?

First words

My LO is nearly 6 months and about 3 days ago he said his first word. Anybody else's?

Formula and slow feeding babies

My baby is 16 weeks old and currently drinks around 150–180ml during each wake window. She is a very slow drinker, so she’ll usually drink about half of her feed when she wakes up, then have small amounts throughout the rest of her wake window (just over 2 hours).

The problem is that formula is only safe to use for an hour once feeding has started, so we end up wasting quite a lot of formula and going through lots of bottles.

How can I encourage her to drink more of her feed at the beginning of her wake window? Or is there a better way to prepare the formula to avoid so much waste?

Would it be better to offer smaller, more frequent bottles? My worry is that sometimes she suddenly wants more, and if I’ve only prepared a small bottle, it runs out. If I make another bottle straight away, she often won’t take it for a while, even though she seems hungry.

I’d really appreciate any advice or tips!

Sleep 😴

Did anyone struggle when they had a new born to be able to go to sleep. I've had nights where I'm tired, baby is asleep, husband is asleep, but i am so anxious I just can't drift off

Struggling with nighttime

My baby so far has been an angel at night, he only wakes up to eat and then goes right back to sleep. My mom tells me just close your eyes and sleep youll wake up if he cries or is hungry or whatever but I cant seem to sleep. Im constantly worried something is going to happen. I get up and stare at him in his bassinet after every little noise or sigh just to make sure he is ok. Im really hoping it gets easier cause the exhaustion is getting to me.
