Anyone else find it weird that the amount you get from the healthy start card drops after your child turns 1?

Is it because you can use it for formula and they can move to cows/non-dairy milk at 12 months?
I don’t think you can use it for formula. Just fruit, veg and cows milk

Postpartum hair loss
When did yours start to stop?
I’m 7 months pp and it started around 4 months pp but it’s making me feel so sh*t with the amount I’ve lost.
I take vitamins and eat well and I just want it to stop 🥲

First hair cut - feeling annoyed and upset
What would you do?
My partner took our little girl to my mums, after just coming to pick her up, no heads up, so that ruined the plans i already had with her, they have just got home and i found out my aunt cut her hair. Her first haircut and i missed it because no one told me, didn’t even ask if it was ok, i have made it clear so many times i want to be there when she has her first haircut cut. And this wish was denied. I feel upset that i missed it but mainly annoyed. Am i being silly?

Any other mums feeling like this?
Before anyone judges, let me put it straight that I do absolutely love being a Mum but recently i’ve found i’ve been losing myself and becoming more and more agitated with little things, I never get a break from being a Mum and sometimes find myself missing the person I was before having a child, I feel awful that i’m feeling like this as I don’t want my Daughter picking up on my moods, I try so hard to make her happy and give her the best but sometimes it feels like i’m not doing enough, i’m juggling everything all at once (trying to get back into work after 3 years and having no luck) (doing course work that has tight deadlines) (trying to make sure I get her out and playing) (making sure she’s eating nutritional meals everyday) (trying to be the perfect person for everyone) it’s becoming a draining and depressing feeling.

This is the worst app for community or advice
You can’t even ask a genuine question seeking advice or maybe just to realize something new because someone just has to be negative. We’re supposed to be supportive of each other but instead there certain women being competitive and taking their pain out on others and I’m honestly sick of seeing it and dealing with it. Some people don’t have a village some people can’t leave there house for medical or other personal reasons. We don’t need some know it all bitch to tell anyone that they’re blaming their problems on others when you don’t even know them. I just hope you have to run into someone exactly like you and they give you the compassion and grace you shower others( which is none) but the acting authoritative and talking down to people has got to stop and you know exactly who you are.

Desperate for sleep tips!
My little boy is just turning 6 months and I can not get him to sleep for longer than 2/3 hours at a time overnight. We’ve tried late bed time, early bed time- he falls asleep about 7 whether we like it or not and thinks it’s bed time. I’ve just tried moving him into his own room to see if we are the problems and no improvements. He’s up around 5-10 times every night, I end up breastfeeding to comfort him which often gets him back to sleep but then he almost never transfers into his own cot! Any ideas? I know maybe I’m setting myself up to fail by cosleeping in the middle of the night but when it’s 3am I’ll do it for a minutes rest? Any tips or ideas appreciated thanks all xx
