Behaviour

My sons father left us 2 weeks ago and hasn’t seen our little one and doesn’t want to. My son is 2 and half. In the last 2 weeks his behavior has changed, which I guess is to be expected. He’s hitting kicking biting, having tantrum. What can I do? Any advice welcome. And of course keeps calling daddy and crying 😔

Should I get sports bras or keep sizing up?

I’m 17 weeks and my boobs have already gotten so much bigger and my bras don’t fit. Do I just get sports bras or get regular bras and keep sizing up? Is one healthier for your boobs than the other?

Help! Baby girl hates car rides.

I’m I the only one in this boat? 😅 She can deal for 15 minutes but then gets fussy and wants to get out. She cries to the point of a full blown meltdown. We have to pull over multiple times to calm her. It’s been a challenge visiting family that lives 30 minutes away. I can admit it’s given me anxiety to drive with…

My little boy is 17 days old and has had problems bringing up his wind / pooping, pretty much since the beginning.

Awful tantrums out of nowhere
