Move to port Mac?

Has anyone here made the move to port Macquarie or is from port Macquarie?
Debating moving there but curious to hear how others have found it. For context we have young kids
Thanks

Nightweaning (help)

I’m attempting to night wean my 20 month old. She’s been a frequent waker for a long time and I wanted to see if it will make a difference. We are 5 nights in and I’m having second thoughts. Last night was awful. She asked for milk once, which is fine, I could easily settle her after this. But then it’s like she spends the whole night frustrated - tossing and turning, incredibly restless, pinching me for comfort, randomly groaning. I don’t think she went into deep sleep. Also the 4 nights before this were similar (although perhaps not as bad)
Do I throw in the towel? Or keep pushing through.
Keen to hear others nightweaning tales!

Night weaning

Hey mums I’m considering night weaning (baby is 20 months) but I still really want to breastfeed her during the day. For those that have night weaned, did you notice your supply drop during the day or were you able to keep it up?

Damaged skin barrier

Okay I’m becoming quite the regular poster here, but I’m getting lots of helpful tips from you all so thank you!
I believe I have a pretty damaged skin barrier (constant tight feeling on face, real dullness) so I am stripping it right back to basics for a few weeks. I’m going to wear no makeup and cleanse with warm water. I’m looking for a super gentle but thick moisturiser for repairing damaged skin barrier and really dry skin
I’ve tried QV ceramides lotion but it feels quite stingy.
Thank you! ❤️

I am looking for advice on how to deal with a pretty serious parental preference for mum (me) Toddler is 17 months so while she is starting to understand a lot, we can’t exactly explain why she can go with dad etc. She is my little shadow, she will follow me everywhere, often waits at the door while I shower, wants to be touching me in some way all the time. It’s so beautiful but it can be exhausting and my heart just breaks a little for my partner. He is so devoted and tries so hard to play with her all the time, which she happily will sometimes, but after a few minutes, will come looking for me. I will say, she does happily stay with him all day while I go to work (part time) but anytime I’m home she must be with me. How can you navigate this? She won’t do bed time with him, and I mostly do all night settling I know this is normal but I just want to get partner involved more without the meltdowns! Thanks
