I’m struggling

I have a 1 year old and a 4 week old. Prior to having my 4 week old my 1 year old stayed with my partners mum and sister for a month. My 1 year old has started waking up crying and screaming and he just pushes me away and even with bedtime sometimes he wants me to rock him to sleep and other times he wants his aunty or nana to rock him to sleep and since having his sibling it’s like he’s just not wanting me anymore and I’m so sad about it and i genuinely feel like he doesn’t love me anymore and he doesn’t need me. Sometimes he wants me during the day but most of the time he goes to his dad. My partner says obviously he wants me and loves me and to stop being ridiculous but i genuinely feel like he doesn’t. The only times he does want me is when I’m busy with his sibling(4 week old) so obviously I can’t do anything with him but when the 4 week old is asleep I try my best to spend time with my 1 year old but he literally isn’t interested. I get seeing me with another baby is difficult and somewhat confusing as it used to be just me and him but it hurts.

Cartoon at Reception

My daughter started Reception this September, and it seems like they watch one or two cartoons every day. One is usually *Numberblocks*, but the other changes—sometimes it’s *Bluey*, sometimes *Zog*...I’m not too happy about this, but I don’t know if it’s common for schools to use cartoons for various reasons. I wouldn’t want to be the only mom complaining 😅

Mum guilt

Hey, I’m just posting because I’ve got horrendous mum guilt. I have a 3 year old and now a 3 month old. Prior to having my baby, I was out with 3 year old all the time, always busy. That’s obviously not been the case since having baby. We still do go out but I feel like it isn’t as often. Am I just being harsh on myself? I just find it so overwhelming at the minute but don’t want my toddler to feel like the bar has dropped!

Weaning

Hi everyone! My little boy is 8 and half months old, we have been trying to wean him since 6 months but he is still not that interested, he doesn’t like purées as he won’t open his mouth for a spoon, and if I give him the spoon he uses his other hand to scrap the food off. We are mainly doing BLW which he will happily put the food in his mouth, but if he gets any in his mouth, he will gag and spit it out. Anyone having anything similar? He is still having breastmilk as I know their nutrition all still comes from their milk until they are 1, I’m just worried he is taking a long time to grasp the concept of swallowing food

Tonies

We just got our 20 month old a tonie box, does anyone have any favorites that they recommend?

Shapes on tongue

Why does my 3 year olds tongue look like this? It’s always looked like it on and off and has never caused any issues so I haven’t brought it up to any health professionals but I’m just wondering what it is and whether I should be worried about it?

Partners mobile and odd behaviour.

My partner changed his mobile phone number yesterday, which he told me about in the morning. He still has not given me his new number. Today whilst at the shops he refused to come in but after 20min of us shopping instead of sending or calling me to find out where we were, he came looking for us. Is this odd behaviour or what??
