Baby trying to stand up in the bath

Is anyone else’s baby constantly trying to stand up in the bath?? Its quite problematic because before we could have a relaxed sit down bath and now no matter what toys I bring her to the water she constantly wants to be standing up which is obviously very dangerous plus means that we need two parents to be doing the bathing. One holding her and the other actually doing some quick washing 🥵 Any solutions?

Lemme know when you figure out what works. My daughter is 10 months and is doing the same thing.

Same problem here 😅

Just put an anti slip mat in the bottom of the tub. Then their little feet don't slide out from under them and scrubbing them actually becomes easier.

Same problem!! I’m in need of a new baby tub as well. My 10 month old will no longer will lay back and take a relaxing bath..

Omg 😳 yes. Same problem with my almost 9 month old. He won’t sit down! Lol it’s a fight every bath time. I started to run the shower and get in there with him and even then he wants to attack the shower curtain.

We use an anti slip bath mat too. And just put a few inches of water so our baby can pull up to stand and crawl around in the bath. Makes it a lot easier than trying to get our active babe to sit still.

My husband or I actually get in the tub with my baby so we can have better control if he slips

My daughter is doing the same thing

Get the bath chair at Walmart! We have one and it’s amazing. It just suction cups on the sides and back and she sits right in there!

Poop question

Hey mommas I’m a ftm and my babygirl hasn’t pooped in two days she’s formula feed and is 12 weeks old. I can tell she’s uncomfortable and I feel so bad. I’ve been doing belly rubs and bicycle kicks and all the things like that. Also gave her some gas drops and gripe water to relieve the gas but still no poop. Does anyone have any tips or tricks for me. Pic so we don’t get lost💕

Health Visitor Home Visit

Hii, could anyone explain what the health visitor does on their home visit?

Also if anyone had a home birth, what the midwife home risk assessment involves?

I’ve got 3 home visits coming up in the next two weeks (health visitor, midwives and doula) and it’s making me nervous for some reason. I think having 3 just feels like a lot and a bit invasive if that makes sense!

Who else is out there holding a baby thru the night so his noises dont wake up the house?!

I cant believe im still doing this at 15 months old!!!

My 2nd child is not just the noisiest sleeper but they have always been weird with breastfeeding

I think currently he is having some kinda developmental leap and growth spurt, eating and drinking like crazy and in the middle of the night if he wakes up , it takes ages to put back to sleep and he rolls around making sooooo much noise!!!

And i either have a low supply now OR he loves a fast flow and so he just jumps off the boob when it slows and complains loudly or just talks cutely but loudly! and i have to keep swapping boobs OR i have to get up and hold him and feed so gravity helps and the flow is faster and holding him means he eventually sleeps or at-least is feeding properly so is bloody quiet now! So at 1 am or 3am or often 5am onwards im holding n feeding until he wakes up 🥲🥲🥲

Any tips?

Sleeping position pregnant

29 weeks pregnant.. read only to sleep on left side but end up waking up on my right side..

Im just so uncomfortable sleeping 😩

How’s everyone’s babies sleeping?

My little one is 19 weeks, she used to sleep through when we would put her to bed at around 10pm, she would sleep through until 6-7 am.
Now she gets so tired around 8 pm so we moved her bedtime here, but coming with this is 1-2 night feeds and she’ll be wide awake at 6 am, which I know is still amazing but I am currently as sick as a dog so hasn’t been the best for my flu 🤣.
I’m unsure whether this is the regression though as her naps are very scattered throughout the day with the max nap being 30 minutes through contact only.
Does this sound like the regression? When did your little one start sleeping through again if they ever did? Thanks in advance 🤗❤️

How are we entertaining our babies

What toys does everyone have for their 7 month old?
Nothing is satisfying my little girl she's got blocks, rattles, playmats loads more. She would much rather hold my hands and walk all day but I cant physically do that and whenever I put her down to play she just wont, is this just a faze?
