Maybe childcare would help, kids learn from seeing other kids too

He seems to be taking the steps towards walking on his own, my girl was a late walker i get the feeling but honestly he’ll walk when he chooses to, if it does start to worry you just let the doctor know on his next visit and they could give you a few suggestions. but i wouldn’t worry to much ❤️

I would be booking an appointment to see your family child health nurse and or GP. There can be a number of reasons for this and you want to be sure that nothing is being missed. Generally they say a child should be walking by the end of there 18 month - yes this is a guide and each child develops differently, but this is a major milestone not met in the 12-18 months space according to a child’s development. Again he is your baby and you know him better than anyone else so you do what you think is best for him. An appointment and a health professional will rule out anything abnormal and at least you would have peace of mind.

I agree with the above comment, please take your child to be seen by their pediatrician

We are waiting on an appointment for a paediatrician

He is finally walking 😍

CPS?

Something’s wrong with me. My LG was wailing & crying & screaming & all I did was watch. Didn’t feel like picking her up to comfort her & still don’t.. should I just turn myself in?

Brest feeding 6 months plus

Hi. Silly question but how does people navigate Brest feeding when baby gets their teeth? I never made it this far while b feeding my other two so I’m not sure what the next stages will look like.

Long night wakings and exhaustion

My 4 week old wakes once/ twice in the night. Problem is that the wake period is really long. It’s not that he’s awake for the whole time, but he struggles to get comfy again in his next to me. It often means I’m awake from about 2-4am and then he wakes again around 6 and we don’t get back to sleep after that one. We don’t get to sleep until around 10:30/11 as that is when he has his evening feed. My toddler is also waking in the night too sometimes. I’m so so tired that I can’t think straight and I’m also doing nursery runs/ looking after a toddler at the same time as a newborn and just feeling really overwhelmed. My husband helps out but he’s back at work and is knackered too. Is anyone else having similar issues?

Nap times

My baby girl is currently 14 weeks old and we have been struggling with naps for a while now. We manage to get her down a few times a day however she does not sleep longer than 30 min.. I know this is the length of a sleep cycle so it is normal but she l never seems to be fully rested especially in the afternoon. She often wakes up looking tired but refuses to go back to sleep, or if I hold her and rock her to sleep there is no way of putting her down again. The evenings are a battle because of it as she gets over tired. Any tips or advise on how to lengthen her naps?

Is this true?
