Feeling so stuck need some advice please :(

My husband has been emotionally abusive towards me since we had our baby. Things have escalated to the point where he has threatened to come and take our baby away while I’ve been staying with my parents, and even threatened to put my parents in a headlock if they tried to stop him. I feel like his empathy towards me has completely disappeared. He constantly pushes for his mother and sisters to be heavily involved in our lives, to the point where he’s seemingly willing to destroy his relationship with me over it. I feel like he’s constantly trying to tear me down. I’m finding it really difficult because, although part of me feels that I need to leave, I’m absolutely terrified of what that could mean for me and my baby. I’m scared of ending up having to co-parent with someone who has behaved this way and of potentially losing precious time with my baby if we separate. I’m just looking for some reassurance from anyone who has been through something similar that leaving doesn’t necessarily mean things will turn out this way, and that there is hope of protecting both myself and my relationship with my baby. 🥺

Toddler fell

My little boy 17 months fell from our bed last night in to a fluffy carpet, I couldn’t get there on time when he woke it happened within a sec and I found him lying on his tummy crying. He fell asleep after offering the breast and this morning he seems like himself no visible injuries. Our bed is a normal bed height. I’m just feeling so guilty. He didnt want to sleep in his cot so I kept him in bed like I do sometimes and feel so awful I didn’t do enough to protect him. Has this happened to anyone, thoughts and advice?

Taking cow's milk on a long-haul flight with a toddler advice?

Hey mums! I'm travelling soon with my daughter and wanted some advice on taking cow's milk on a long-haul flight. She usually has milk when she wakes up, before her midday nap and again before bed. I'm just wondering what's the best way to carry milk with me? How do you manage milk feeds when travelling with toddlers? x

Newborn falling asleep on bottle

Baby’s 7 weeks old, she’s constantly falling asleep on the bottle, she will scream for milk, as soon as the bottle goes into her mouth, she has a couple sips, and falls asleep, this has been happening constantly, she’s only drinking 1/2 ounces, every 2/3 hours. We have the mam bottles, I’ve changed the teats to lansinoh teats, I have tried everything I can possible to get her to drink. She has colic and reflux, I really don’t know what else to do. We have been doctors, doctor told me it’s absolutely normal. Health visitor has weighed her and she has lost some weight, so they are keeping an eye on her, but I really don’t know what else I can do 😭. Her falling asleep has happened ever since she was born, we have had her checked for tongue tie twice and she does not have one.

Sleep sack or love to dream swaddle for NEWBORN

Not sure which one to get. I know the love to dream swaddle is good for the startle reflex, but maybe the sleep sack baby will grow out of the reflex quicker?
