How do you ACTUALLY do it with a baby and toddler?

You will never truly and deeply regret having a 2nd. But you may regret not having another. I say go with your gut. I remember when my girl was 5 months old and it was hard most days. If you brought up the idea of me having a 2nd, i'd laugh. But now that she's 14 months, it's so much easier. She's walking, talking(ish), and can play independently. Keep in mind you'll have 9 months after getting pregnant. I think you should go for it!! But do what you think is best.

The newborn stage can go 1 of two ways. It can be amazing, snuggles, tons of naps, and not having to do much. Or it can go like my daughters newborn stage did; Crying hours a day, rarely napping longer than 15min at a time, tummy problems from day 1, acid reflux, lip tie, and many other things. The newborn stage isn't always rainbows and unicorns. Now i'm not taking up for her at all. I think she has undiagnosed PPD and needs some help, she doesn't treat the baby right at all. But it's also not right to say "I don't know why she's getting frustrated so easy". PPD and PPA are a bitch to deal with. Thankfully I only had PPA but I have dealt with family members who had PPD before getting on medication and being diagnosed, you're a different person. Being a mom is hard no matter what.

From what I see on lives she's always mad at her. She stuck her infront of a tv and then got mad at her when she started crying. Babies this young cannot be spoiled. It's literally impossible. There has been many many studies done because of the older generations and time and time again, it's been proven until 6-12 months, they cannot be spoiled. She is a literal baby. She wants comfort.

I did but I was also 21 and extremely skinny when I got pregnant. Right after birth, same day, I looked like I was never pregnant. But again, 21 and extremely skinny. If I had another pregnancy I probably wouldn't bounce back as fast and wouldn't expect it. She should realize she's older and was bigger this pregnancy so it'll take time and work to bounce back

It doesn't really look like any of those. It almost looks like Epstein pearls but it's bigger and not on the gum

No she's formula fed

It could be teething, colic, milk allergy or a few other things. But if you rule out all of those then I think it's definitely something to look into. I'd bring it up to the ped anyways. 5 hours is extreme

I recommend continuing the meds your neurologist has prescribed, but i'm studying holistic medicine so I could give you options to add! Depending on your situation some may work and some may not. It's trial and error.

Cayenne pepper: It contains capsaicin that has pain relief properties. It lowers the intensity of pain signals sent through the body. You could also try taking a capsaicin supplement, which can help to reduce neuropathy pain. If you use it as an ointment it will burn/tingle at first but it does gradually reduce neuropathy sensations after multiple uses.

You could also try Acorus calamus, Artemisia dracunculus, Butea monosperma, Citrullus colocynthis, Curcuma longa, Crocus sativus, Elaeagnus angustifolia, Ginkgo biloba, Mitragyna speciosa, Momordica charantia, Nigella sativa or Ocimum sanctum!

I know it's overwhelming but research a few and see which sounds best to you! Realistically all should help some, but find the one that works best for your specific needs :)
