Like @WhatABore I pick the food up once and say “leave your food on your tray” (high chair tray). If he does it again it stays down with a “I can see you don’t want that right now”Sorry to hear this, you’ve had a really hard time lately it’s going to take its toll.
With weaning they definitely go through annoying phases. Mine still won’t eat, and literally launches everything on the floor and I too have just packed up and left it. It’s soul destroying at times. I think therenolder they get the more their little minds realise they have options and they decide to act up. Then the next day they’re back to normalX
He loves to drop everything off the high chair, then cries to get down and quite often just eats it from the floor instead.
Yes! He has thrown himself down in anger a few times as well! I can hand on heart say I’ve never had a toddler do a tantrum like that. People joke about terrible twos, having to carry toddlers out of places screaming etc and I’ve never had any of that.I don't know if it must've been something in the air when we had them
But Everleigh is exactly the same.
The other 2 were not at all.
She will throw herself on the floor screaming when she wants something and can't have it. Can't do something, or you won't give her attention.
God forbid her brother or sister speaks to her when she's in her car seat or pushchair. All hell breaks loose. All they have to do is look at her and she screams waving her arms at them!
Until now.
I actually felt like crying today. He is so hard to take places, unless it’s just being outside/park etc. but sometimes the big kids want to do other things (like the library today) and it’s just so stressful with him.
Definitely a dodgy batch then when we had them
I wonder will anyone recall them soon?!?
My mum just looked on our baby monitor and texted me asking wth baby Waka was doing…
she does look a bit scary listen we get sleep however it comes round here haha
she does look a bit scary
listen we get sleep however it comes round here haha
Mr Waka accepts it’s all he’s going to get, if anything they’re a signal to him nowI frigging love my granny pants
I was about to post saying Tommy is being a right twit today and then I realised, you’d all be more surprised if I said he wasn’t, at this point it’s the equivalent of saying plants have leaves 
🥲
🥲Bless him! How is he getting on day to day, Is he more settled in general?I was about to post saying Tommy is being a right twit today and then I realised, you’d all be more surprised if I said he wasn’t, at this point it’s the equivalent of saying plants have leaves
Maybe he'll make it worth your while when he's older by becoming rich and looking after you well!I was about to post saying Tommy is being a right twit today and then I realised, you’d all be more surprised if I said he wasn’t, at this point it’s the equivalent of saying plants have leaves
Why is it still so humid? We've had 4 days of rain yet I'm still on fireeeeeeeee
Is it wrong he’s still my fave though?! Tommy stories never fail to make me laugh. I just imagine him sitting waving his axe and laughing as you frantically try and work out which type of dancing fruit he wants todayI was about to post saying Tommy is being a right twit today and then I realised, you’d all be more surprised if I said he wasn’t, at this point it’s the equivalent of saying plants have leaves
Agreed I should have slept today as orange went to nursery and I had a day off instead I had my hair done and went shopping
it’s my birthday tomorrow and we are going to the zoo 
who needs sleep 
Feeling so grateful to know such a lovely group of supportive and smart moms! 
I guess it's just another phase she's going through. Thanks for the insights all!
Right, imma go pop some pills now! Or well, just the one
@Definitelyme Yes, blowing raspberries, that's it! Although in Kitten's case "blowing puree" would be more accurate
@Crazycatlady18 I feel bad complaining about Kitten, I know your little CrazyCat has given you so much worries with her feeding. Hope she gets the hang of it soon.
Do you already have a date for the referral?

Oh don’t worry about that complain away it’s stressful when they act up! We’re all here to listen and support no matter what.Feeling so grateful to know such a lovely group of supportive and smart moms!

Yes she finally is being seen 22nd august!! X
@Definitelyme sorry to hear toddler me is having a difficult time. It’s humiliating & draining isn’t it. If it makes you feel any better my nephew was the same at 1-2, a security had to once help my SIL escort him out of Tesco, she was mortified & still speaks about it til this day BUT he is one of the most sweetest, kindest little 6 year olds now!
Ps - I'm sorry he's giving you a hard time🤍Like @WhatABore I pick the food up once and say “leave your food on your tray” (high chair tray). If he does it again it stays down with a “I can see you don’t want that right now”

He is definitely a lot more content in himself he just still won’t ever let us put him down without screaming until he stops himself breathing
Well that’s a lie, we do manage 10 minutes on his playmat here and there which is an improvement
I think a mix of the SCBU and the colic at the start has just made him really clingy which is understandable and tbh I don’t even mind, it’s just so hard literally doing anything else at all and it gets really draining. I can’t believe I took being able to wee, eat or even just have use of my hands foregranted! It wouldn’t be as bad if he was a bit bigger and could cosleep but he’s still only 10lbs and I’m too scared
OH is back at work in September and I’m already getting worked up about it. I’ll have to get up at 1.30 in the morning 4 days a week so he can sleep for a few hours before work and then I’ll have Tommy on my own till 6pm and I think it’ll kill me off tbh
It’s so hard now so thinking of doing it on my own when he’s at work, with no breaks at all duck meeeeee.He’d probably put me in the cheapest home you could find and then sell my belongings for scrapMaybe he'll make it worth your while when he's older by becoming rich and looking after you well!
duck, you outside my window?!
Grab that me time when you can mamaAgreed I should have slept today as orange went to nursery and I had a day off instead I had my hair done and went shopping
I also bought some new crocs loving life but in essence I am very tired 🥱 then I get in bed and can’t sleep
Oh my gosh, I would never return to Tesco if I were her, mortified wouldn’t even cover it
My own 6yo was harrrrd work (more in the way that Tommy is for @jackolantern) and as you say he is the sweetest boy Ever now. ToddlerMe can also be so sweet, he has a great sense of humour, and has many wonderful qualities. But he is also an insane lunatic. If he had been our first we’d probably only have one kid
Ten mins is an improvement! Hopefully that time continues to get longer, bit by bitHe is definitely a lot more content in himself he just still won’t ever let us put him down without screaming until he stops himself breathing

You’ve probably thought or tried already but would a sling help? I used to put baby Waka in one and I could at least hoover or eat over her head with two hands, not sure of the weight so may be something else you’re waiting to do.Oh them going back to work is another transition, I got mr Waka to make me a packed lunch so at least when I had some time there were two sandwiches just waiting for me.
My friends baby had an bumpy start too. Undiagnosed silent reflux and allergies from her breast milk so cried 24/7 for the first 3/4 months and my friend doesn’t do cry it out so was always up with her holding her to sleep etc and now she sleeps 8-7 she said she found her daughter ‘just needed her less’ so I think even though it’s tough you’re responding to exactly what he needs and giving him that extra reassurance and comfort in order to develop confidently with a secure attachment (hope none of that was patronising because you’ve not actually asked me for Any advice
)Hopefully by September you can grab 20mins!He is definitely a lot more content in himself he just still won’t ever let us put him down without screaming until he stops himself breathing

You've both been through so much, you'll absolutely smash it once September comes
We have got a sling but non surprisingly he hates itTen mins is an improvement! Hopefully that time continues to get longer, bit by bit

I probably need to persevere with trying him with things more but Im always so tired I give up the fight and just do whatever it takes to make him sleep That’s a good idea about the food thank you
No it’s not patronising at all. I appreciate you all so much, I’d be lost without this little clan. I question myself so much that is it just me doing everything wrong so it’s nice to know others don’t think so
I try and think back to what he was like in those first few months and realistically he is worlds better now, so you are right I just have to take the wins where I can, he’ll get there he’s still a little prick tho
