March 2025 Babies 🌎🌍🌏

When my son (now 16 months) was born, he was taken to ICU before I even looked at him. Then he spent 2 days there. As he's grown he's been a very easy going baby - goes to absolutely anyone. I've never felt like he has a strong bond with me over anyone else. But then when he started nursery he suddenly developed separation anxiety and in a weird way I was like 'oh he does like me'. I just gave him more cuddles and kept saying mummy always comes back. The separation anxiety disappeared as quickly as it came (or so it felt). We also decided to cut down on breastfeed and night wean, so hubby is now doing a lot of the nights. And now he goes to anyone again. He woke up from a nap, and my mother in law got him out of the cot and he only wanted to cuddle her. Didn't want me when I walked in. When he hurt himself he wanted daddy. And when daddy leaves a room he cries bloody murder.

I suddenly feel useless. Like I'm redundant and I dont know who I am anymore. I don't even feel like a mum, and pregnancy and motherhood has made me forget who I was. But I also don't feel like a mum, so who am I? I am feeling incredibly low about it, to a point where I'm just not sure why I am here when even my son doesn't love me.

I am just so heartbroken and I'm hoping that maybe someone can give me some reassurance?

Anyone else’s baby not standing up yet? He is 14 months old and still struggles to stand up/doesn’t do it on his own, but will happily crawl everywhere. I’m starting to get worried 😩

Anyone else dreading this heatwave? I feel like last year wasn't too bad, yeah I was worried about over heating but baba was only little This year, he wont keep a hat on, running around like crazy and just worried so much about sun burn!

My 13m old wears 12-18 vests but still in 9-12 bottoms

I'm trying to not keep giving the same things but it's not easy always trying to make a big variety of food that is healthy and yummy that he's actually going to eat.

How is everyone else? Finding meal times now?

I'd say breakfast time is easy. Usually some porridge or eggs which he loves. Snacks are easy too. Our little one is off formula now. What are your go-to meals that your 1 year olds love?

I would love to hear 😁
