Clumsiness

Is anyone else’s child very clumsy? 🙈 my son is 1 and has been walking since he was 11 months old. He’s suddenly realising he can go quicker and is bumping into everything and tripping over the littlest thing. Just wondering if this is normal or do I need to get him checked at the gp.

Same here, walking for 3 months, running now without realizing you can’t just walk through things. Daily bumps and falls, but at least he learned to fall more controlled now so there is slightly less damage. I think it’s normal they are clumsy at this age.

So glad it’s not just me 😂 he certainly keeps me on my toes!

Same here, walking since 10 months, doesn't seem to care where he's walking in the house and walks into all the toys he's pulled out. He's fine in an open space outside though and realises he can go faster now 😅 also started to stomp from copying dad 😂

stomping yes! He walks around trying to stomp/dance all the time it’s hillarious 😂 he’s also started trying to copy what we’re saying!

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.

Did I overreact?

I have had 3 c sections, recently had a wisdom teeth removal (4) to be exact and all my mom did was visit the day BEFORE and then she only sent 1 text. She has NEVER spent one full day with me and doesn’t acknowledge my achievements much. She just isn’t there when I need her to be. She claims she’s always working but she lives like 7 minutes away! she can come help with the kids so my husband can have break? we don’t ask her for much and she only sees the kids 1-2 a month. She also didn’t visit with my last c section. I told her that she should’ve gotten the abortion when she had the chance with me because why would you have me and neglect me emotionally? To not actually give me a present father in my life. I am very angry all she does is disappoint me. She only wants to show up for certain people in the family and I just want to grab her and shake her and ask her why can’t she be a good present mother?
