Help! 😢
I have a toddler who’s been on and off sick for 2 weeks and a newborn at home. I have to keep them separated so the newborn doesn’t get sick. I’m going insane. Partner is doing the best but they both need me. I don’t know what to do! Any advice please!

Well first breathe, second I know your stressing, you could have your partner take care of your toddler so you can take care of your newborn. Your newborn needs you more especially if your breast feeding. You can also every now and then even switch off or once you have your baby sleep, you can go and tend to your toddler. So you dont get your newborn sick just make sure you constantly was your hands and change clothes if nessasary so that you don't cross germs to your newborn.
Also make sure you take care of yourself so you dont get sick.
I had the same situation. My toddler is 26 month old. He been sick for two weeks on and off. He was behave normal during daytime and his fever got spike at nighttime so I have to go three time in emergency urgent care to check him up. He got pink eye too and ear infection because of prolong fever, but what I did I just keep him hydrated and I gave him ibuprofen every 4 to 6 hours. I also tried Zarbee for sore throat

Porridge
What porridge is everyone giving to their babies? I was buying the tesco super smooth porridge in the big box but it has been out of stock for weeks! Any recommendations? Have tried normal Quaker Oats but my son prefers the smooth texture. Have also used formula branded porridge but it’s in such a small bag and doesn’t last us long at all. He is 9 months old. Thanks!

Nursery.
Hi, I'm going to visit a potential nursery tomorrow for my LO. She'll be just under 1yr when she starts.
Does anyone have any suggestions on questions I should make sure to ask or anything I should be looking out for?
TIA

Post partum rage
Does anyone suffer with PPR? I only get it when I'm putting my boy to bed and I have NO idea why. It's completely illogical and irrational but when he's messing around and won't settle I feel the fire rising in me. I get so enraged. Id never hurt him or anything I just have to walk out and take a minute to calm down.

Hitting other kids at school
My son started pre-k this year. It's been becoming stressful for me, almost once a week the teacher has to talk to me about my son hitting other kids, they put him on time out and he thinks it's funny. Today he almost got sent to the office. What can I do to improve his behavior?
Also if there are any good book recommendations on parenting?
Thanks.

Attached baby
Without sounding insensitive to my LO, is anyone else’s baby super clingy. I am a ftm and finding a lot of the time I can’t leave my baby longer than a hour or two without him hysterically crying at this point I will come back and take over from dad or grandparents. I cannot do a lot of basic necessities for myself a lot of days.. sometimes he won’t even want to sit with them if I’m in the room too. Does anyone have any tips to help my baby be more comfortable with family or is this just normal?
