Hitting
Feel mortified even typing this but my little girl has started hitting and I just dont know how to stop it. Nursery have noticed it and mentioned it today, its been happening at home too if shes having a tantrum or not getting attention (we have a 10 week old baby, who she adores but I get that its been alot of change)
Is or has anyone gone through the same? She's a sweet little girl and I do think its a phase but I just was hoping for some reassurance/advice. Thanks!

Our wee boy started doing this, we figured out it happens a lot when hes overwhelmed or very hyper. We redirect a lot with high fives or 'kersplat!' on approved surfaces and it seems to really be helping
Please please don’t be mortified, this is a very normal and very healthy part of development.
Nurseries bring it up because they have to but they aren’t majorly concerned because it happens with 95% of toddlers. As long as you are firm and say no and stop it you’re doing everything you can.
My little boy is the sweetest thing, says awwww when hugging or when he sees it on TV and then when he gets mad at he can’t do something it’s somehow my fault and he comes and hits me 🤣
He doesn’t like being told no and he takes himself away and cries or wants a hug but these things take a while for them to really really grasp!
Don’t be embarrassed, just be aware 🩷

Switching to formula
I will have exclusively fed my 3 month old breastmilk in 2 weeks time and I think for my mental health I want to combo feed. Does anyone have any tips on this? I currently pump 7 times within 24 hours and would like to reduce that so I can live without having to pump every 3 hours. Any tips or advice would be appreciated. Xxx

Locking toddlers bedroom door
Do you think it’s ok to lock 3.5 year olds bedroom door? She keeps coming out and waking up the whole family so struggling to function. Or is it cruel to do that?

Co sleeping position
Is it okay to co sleep in this position with my 5 and a half month old? She mostly sleeps in her cot but sometimes she just wants me. Her face is completely uncovered and chin isn’t on chest etc. I know it’s not ideal but she seems to sleep so much better like this than on her back. My arm is cradling her. I don’t breastfeed and she doesn’t feed during the night. Need reassurance that it’s okay or an explanation why it isn’t😥

Baby chokes on my milk at almost every feed
I exclusively breastfeed and my little one is 7 weeks old, never had any issues before now but this past week he's choked on my milk at almost every feed and is gulping it like he's never been fed.
He generally feeds well, I alternate breasts each feed so like he'll feed on the left then next feed on the right side, but they seem too full for him and he coughs and chokes like he can't handle my milk flow. If i hand express beforehand so it isn't as full for him he is dissatisfied with the feed and wants the other side which is then too much for him and he's sick🫠🫠
Has anyone had anything like this? What did you do about it?, I feel awful watching him cough and he's spilling milk all down me which is not ideal when out of the house.
