4 year old spits when she’s been told off
My daughter spits when she’s annoyed or we’ve told her off. Why is this? Is this normal and how do I stop this? Of course we keep telling her not to spit and that it’s wrong!

One of my boys did this when he was 3/4ish I don’t remember but around the same age! It’s very normal (I asked his ped about it). When they’re mad, even super excited, any big feelings really- sometimes, for whatever reason they spit 💦
It was SO FRUSTRATING. As soon as he did it we stopped everything that was happening, separated him from whatever triggered it and spent time with him alone for a few minutes to tell him no spitting and help to redirect his energy.

Would you be worried?
Diaper pic in comments. My 4 week old has had 2 diapers now with small amount of bright red blood. The first one was a normal yellow colored poop but this one is green. Of course the pediatrician is closed for the weekend so I’ll call them tomorrow but has anyone seen a diaper like this?

2 under 2!
We’re two weeks into this new chapter 💗
Would love to hear how you manage a newborn and a toddler, especially when you’re on your own with both. Any tips or little things that have helped you would be so appreciated! 🫶🏼💕

6 month nightmare
Is anyone else in the trenches with a 6 month old. My boy is awful at the moment. He won’t sleep through the night cos he’s up randomly screaming. He wants to crawl but he can’t so he sits on his hands and knees screaming. Put him down he screams. He’s teething so obvs his screaming. Nap time he screams. The soundtrack to my life is the tiny thing screaming and if you ignore him he screams louder

How are your babies getting to sleep?
We have tried the whole self sooth with a dummy method and it works a couple of times, but most of the time he’s fed to sleep or rocked. Please tell me we’re not the only ones who’s babies aren’t fully self soothing yet?
