Have I ruined my 21 month old by offering food?

Me and my husband have this recurring doubt that since our kid (21 months) needs a snacks or meal every 1-2 hours when she's awake, is it because I spoilt her by offering her something to eat every time she was fussy?

For background, my kid has always been an intense feeder. Even as a new born she fed every hour or less. As suggested by our paediatrician, feed on demand was the best way to go, so I breastfed her every hour till she was 6 months old. When I started her on solids, I slowly introduced a new meal every alternate week over a period 6 months to the point that she eats a snack or meal every 1-2 hours. Her meal/snacks frequency is constant till date. I don't think it's because she eats less because no matter what quantity she eats or what type of food I feed her she usually gets hungry again at the end of 2 hour mark and starts asking for milk (her association of anything to eat).

Also, she does breastfeed 3-4 times in the day and the night feeds are from 0-3 times.

Do anyone else have a similar case or something that I can possibly fix in my weaning journey?

Postpartum teeth discoloration

My teeth have become discolored postpartum. I don't smoke or drink coffee regularly. I floss 2-3 times a week and have been using a toothpaste with medical grade hydroxyapatite, KNO3 and SMFP for a few months now with no improvement. I was avoiding getting my teeth sanded down as I am breastfeeding and I might have low calcium. Is there any way to fix this?

Am I in the wrong for feeling annoyed when questioned about how a silver ornament reached my parents house

I (32F) live in a different city from my in-laws. When I visit with my husband and child, I keep some of my belongings in a closet at their house that is reserved for my use. A couple of years ago, I left a new handbag in one of the drawers in that closet. I had originally bought it as a backup gift for someone, but since I never ended up using it, I recently decided to give it to my parents instead, as they might find it useful. So I gave it to them when they visited us at my place. Later after checking the bag, my mother called and told me that there was a silver ornament inside it. I had never seen the ornament before and had no idea it was there. I asked her to send it back with a package of toys she was already planning to send for my child so that I can show and ask my mother in law (who was staying with us at our place) about it. When the package arrived at my house, my mother-in-law checked it and took the ornament without mentioning it to me. Later, when I asked whether she had taken it out and kept it, she said yes. She then asked how the ornament had ended up at my parents' house when it had previously been in my closet. Her question felt slightly accusatory to me, as though she was implying that I had been sending valuable items from her house to my parents. I was already annoyed that she had taken the ornament without informing me, so her question bothered me even more. But my husband's opinion is that since it was her ornament it is a normal expected reaction and I am overreacting.

TL;DR: I gave an old handbag from my closet at my in-laws' house to my parents, who found an unknown silver ornament inside. When it was returned, my MIL took it and then questioned how it had reached my parents, which felt accusatory and annoyed me.
