Anyone used the Crawligator?

Okay so my son is super active and I really feel like he wants to be crawling. He never gets into the all fours position on his own, only when I work with him. I feel like crawling is crucial and don’t want him to skip it but I don’t believe I have the ability to help get there anytime soon.
I’m considering buying the crawligator. I think it will really help him figure out the muscle function and get the hang of it.
Any mommas here had experience with it?

Omg I have never heard about it!!!! I hope some one share her experience. My baby doesnt want to crawl, she hates tummy time ☹️

My peds told me not to necessarily worry if she didn’t start to crawl…some don’t. She said some just go from rolling to standing and walking! Obviously every baby is different and reasonings but don’t jump to thinking it’s a major issue right away!

Honestly my baby just randomly started crawling. He was showing that he wanted to already (ex. Wanting to get on all fours but then letting himself drop back down) so I simply placed the tv remote (or anything they really like to get their hands on) far from his reach and he slowly started to crawl on his own towards it. After that he hasn’t stopped… not crawling is a blessing in disguise. Once they start you have to be watching them like a Hawk.

I honestly wouldn’t recommend buying anything to help them crawl or walk, they’re babies they learn on their own.. at their own pace.

Just saw my son's doctor yesterday and he wasn't concerned with my 9mo not crawling yet. He said it's really not that important of a milestone 🤷‍♀️

Seems like that would hinder crawling development, since they don't have to build muscle to use it. I would just keep encouraging, if it were me. My doctor said as long as they are rolling to get places, it counts as their movement milestone at this age.

I've never heard of it, but your little one is too precious!

Sleeping position?

Does anybody else’s newborn sleep in an odd position? Or can anyone tell me why my baby does this? It looks super uncomfortable and no matter how many times I readjust him he goes back into this same position. He favourites the left side as well, he never does this on the other side.

Baby Bonnet

Finally bought him some baby bonnets from Amazon !

First time mom issues

Ever since I became a mother, I get criticized for almost everything.

I breastfeed, and I constantly hear that “breast milk doesn’t fill the baby up” and that I should give formula.

I’m currently unable to work, and I hear things like, “This is America people don’t stay home with kids, put the baby in daycare,” even though I’ve applied and haven’t been approved yet.

My child feels safe enough to be herself when I’m around, and somehow that turns into, “The baby is too clingy you need to put her in daycare.”

When my baby cries, I drop everything to comfort her, and I’m told I shouldn’t do that because I’m “making her clingy.”

I didn’t grow up dreaming of becoming a mother, but God chose me to be this child’s mother, and I intend to give her all my love, care, time, and dedication. It is my mission.

I pray to God every day.

The life I imagined didn’t happen, but I am grateful for what I’ve learned in these past four months.

I’ve learned to speak softly. I’ve learned patience.

What more could I ask for?

Every day, I just thank God for sending me my little honey bun. 💛

Is witching hour a thing?!

My baby girl is only 11 days old - but gets so so fussy about 5pm every evening! She’s fed, clean nappy, having cuddles but just will not settle at this time every evening! I googled and apparently witching is hour is common but is it common at only 11 days old?! Send help 😂

Best toys for flights

Hi all. I’m taking my little boy on holiday in the next couple of months and wondered the best toys to keep a 15 month entertained for about 4 hours on a flight. Thanks! X
