Tantrums Every Evening for HOURS

Curious on if anyone has advice or even just relates. My son is 2.5 years old and every evening for the past two weeks he tantrums from around 6pm-when he goes to bed around 7:30/8:30pm. He goes to daycare full time and they begin when he comes through the door when we get home. He is dealing with a lot transition wise, new sibling & new daycare (hes been going to daycare since he was 8 weeks old but we switched his daycare due to money). Also last week he had a stomach bug so I am not sure if thats what triggered this? And ive been so cognizant on making sure he is in control due to the changes so putting on his favorite shows on in the evening, safe foods, whatever activity he wants to make him feel in control but he doesnt want anything but also wants everything. It is so rough...I feel horrible.

Any advice on how to handle a stomach bug with a toddler (I also have a 4 week old, shes fine so far but I am paranoid). On Monday my son had a fever. Woke up Tuesday and had thrown up at some point in the night. The rest of the day was full of diarrhea and fever. Wednesday he was normal and perfect. This morning we went to get him up for daycare and discovered he threw up again at some point in the night. All day hes been throwing up. He has barely eaten. He had applesauce at 7am and threw it up. At 12 we gave him a popsicle and mashed potatoes and some water. Threw it up. We didnt give anymore food but just gave pedialyte. He was fine until about 6:50 he threw up just clear liquid. He is 2.5. Doctor gave us zofran and hes still throwing up just not as frequent. Im trying my best to keep the newborn and him separated and leave husband to tending to the toddler. Tomorrow im having someone watch my 4 week old so I can focus on my toddler while my husband is at work bc it is impossible to do it with this bug. Any tips would be so amazing. Also if your child had/has something like this, how long did it last? I am dying slowly.

Hi everyone. Today my toddler had to stay home due to cough, runny nose, diarrhea, and vomiting. I am overwhelmed to say the slightest. First of all, my mom literally left yesterday as she was here to help us with the transition of another baby. Today was going to be my first day alone with my newborn while my husband went to work and toddler went to daycare. Ive never been alone with my toddler and newborn. Let alone when he is sick with symptoms I am so nervous for my newborn to get sick. Any advice? I am literally sobbing right now. Luckily my husband stayed home with me today but I have a feeling my son will need to stay home tomorrow too. I have bad anxiety and I have been struggling with this transition even though im on antidepressants. Trying not to get into my head but I am freaking out and feel like I cant do this.

My baby is 3 weeks old. She is having a hard time passing gas and BMs. Every time she tries she scream cries. We are currently on gentle ease formula, has anyone tried other formulas that worked better? She's having a hard time sleeping at night due to the gas. I do get some farts out when I do bicycle kicks and massages but I dont think it works long term. We also use gas drops and they help a bit. I got mommy bliss probiotics and I feel like they made her more uncomfortable, we used them the last two nights. Im exhausted lol any advice would be great.
