My son still drinking milk
I dont mind giving him cows milk but recently hes just drinking a lot more. Like downing it. We feed him too.
I try to reduce milk when I can and substitute it with food instead but when my husband looks after him and my son asks for milk, he just gives it to him.
Idk is this normal?

So people should be having, as a minimum, the calcium equivalent of a pint of milk. So the calcium is great for his bones and teeth development.
My son has also started asking for milk in the middle of the day again when previously he’s only had it at bedtime for the last few months.
Too much milk can inhibit the iron absorption so it's something to be aware of
How old is he ?!
my son is also drinking a lot more cows milk than normal not sure why, he’s nearly 2
Same!! She normally has a bottle before bed anyway but last night she woke up twice in the night asking for milk, she’s not had milk in the night for agesss. And other day she kept asking for milk during the day 🤷🏼♀️

Tickling
Do you allow family members to tickle your child? I personally find it really hard to watch as I hate being tickled, and although my daughter is kind of smiling i don’t think she enjoys it. How do you tell them to stop doing it? Or am I being over the top?
My daughter is almost 15 months

Baby breastfeeding while asleep?
My 3month old has started to keep drinking while she falls asleep? As in, Im nursing her, shes suckling, and then she nods off but...just keeps suckling? Lazily, but definitely still chomped on. She fights me when I try to break the seal, and if I dont remove the nipple from her she'll sleep-suckle for 20, 30min easily. When I do remove it successfully she wakes a few minutes later, absolutely furious!
Is this a 3month thing? My poor nipples 😢

C-section mums..
How soon after your sections did you go for a bath, I’ve read your not meant to soak the scar/wound in a bath but doesn’t say when you can 🫣 sometimes a shower just doesn’t cut it for “me time” 😅
Also how are people keep it dry, I have a slight overhang so looking for the best way to keep the scar dry without rubbing it with a towel like I want too!

MIL’s
Is it just me or do most MIL’s constantly criticise the way you parent as a mum. She has never really seen my husband do much other than hold baby or change the occasional nappy, and that apparently makes him the best dad in the world! Meanwhile I do everything as the mum and she has never said anything like that to me. Not even the slightest compliment, and I know that I’m trying my best but how do I not let this get to me. My husband doesn’t even offer to take the baby for a while whilst I rest or take a shower, I have to ask!! It might be the postpartum hormones taking over but I just want to be able make it clear to her that I take care of the baby 95% of the time.
