Breast-feeding and formula feeding support

Is it normal?

So my 7 1/3 month old son has been on solids as well as breastfeeding for a few months. His pediatrician says to feed him every two hours because he wasn’t gaining weight like he should. But I’ve noticed over the past couple days he has been wanting solids more than breastfeeding. I offer it to him, but most of the time he only eats for about 10-15 minutes, but in the morning he will eat for 30-45 minutes (after sleeping all night). Is it normal? I do still pump when I give him his solids.

relationship

I have been with my partner since we were both 18 and now we are both 30.

We have a 2.5 year old, a dog and I’m 31 weeks pregnant with our second.

I still have worked up until this point, I have one more shift left (extremely stressful because they haven’t bothered doing a risk assessment which I am aware is illegal)

I still look after my toddler and dog everyday including meals, dog walks, activities etc

I still do all the washing, ironing, hoovering, watering plants, gardening, changing beddings, mopping, dishes etc including washing and ironing all his clothes.

The other day I was in pain and I didn’t walk the dog so he commented on the fact I hadn’t, tonight he came in from work I’ve looked after my toddler all day whose had very bad diarrhoea as he’s currently poorly, everything was done from hoovering, mopping etc however I’d left 3 dishes in the sink and he had a nerve to comment.

Am I being unreasonable to be pissed off with that? I told him wait until we have another then you’ll know what mess is plus I have changed my toddlers bedding, hoovered, mopped the whole house, toys are put away and apart from a bit of washing and 3 dishes in the sink there’s barely anything I feel I’ve done bloody well considering but of course he’s going to pick out what I haven’t done.

Childminder or nursery?

My baby will be 13 months when I go ham to work. I had initially found a nursery for her. But then I recently found out about childminder now I am torn. I like how childminders pay more attention but my baby seems very social so not sure if I’m restricting her? The childminder I’m considering has 5 kids different ages from 13 months to 3 years. But it’s cheaper and closer to home. What are some pros and cons?

So frustrated with my partner

My boyfriend is a part of a bike club which is a hobby for him. I’m okay with that, but it’s honestly going a little too far. They have to go to other people’s bike nights and their own. He has been gone on Monday (not sure when he came home bc I found him face down on the floor drunk), yesterday, he has his own bike night and came home at midnight, and now (I’m on east coast time) is out with them and when I asked when he will be home, he ignored that.

I’m work from home and unfortunately am the breadwinner which causes extra stress for me. My 15 month old stays home with me and I’m currently 28 weeks pregnant. I’m TIRED and honestly ready to leave the relationship. He is a good father, but that’s not enough. I’m just tired of being accommodating.

Refusing feeds?

Baby has had last set of needles on Monday and today he’s refused every feed like he’s still taken it but been a fight to do it idk if it’s related to needles or not he’s been given gripe water and winded in case of gas/wind and teething toys and powder and Calpol in case of teething etc I’m just a really anxious FTM x
