Sound sensitivity or Autistic

Bub is 10.5 months old. He gets startled easily for noises even though it's not a loud noise. Other day he sneezed and right after I sneezed. He got upset and started crying.
We were reading a book and I said Bee makes buzzzzz that's it. He was upset and started crying.
He smiles at strangers and waves at them, if they talk in little high pitch or laugh. He's upset again.

Sorry for the long post. I'm a worried maama. Please is your little also the same or should I be worried. Please share your thoughts

Our son’s the same way. He *just* stopped crying after sneezes maybe a week or so ago. He’s 11 months, 8 days old. So I suspect they’re just sensitive and will get more comfortable over time, but I guess there’s no way to know until they’re older.

My 6 year old was diagnosed with autism at the age of 3. Around this age, he was actually the opposite.. no response to loud sounds. As always, consult your worries at his next check up. My 10 months old used to FREAK out at the sound of blender, but I kept smiling and distracting him while using it, and now he's fine with it.

8 week immunisations

My 8 week old has his first set of injections tomorrow and I’m abit nervous. Does anyone have any advice for after the jabs? I know they get a temp after so have got some calpol to give just before hand. Should I put him to bed in less clothing to make sure he doesn’t get too hot? Any tips from your experience with first set of immunisations? Am I worrying more than I need to? 😅

11 month old constantly standing in cot

Please tell me someone has some advice for this cause wow it’s trying. My almost 11 month old is fully on the move now and his new favourite thing is repeatedly pulling to stand in his cot. The problem is that he wears a sleep sack (mainly so his legs don’t get stuck between the bars tbh lol) so he’s not stable enough to lower himself down. So earlier he fell backwards and hit is head and now we feel like we can’t just leave him to it. Typically it’s his first full day at nursery tomorrow and my first day back at work IT’S LIKE HE KNOWS!!
Please tell me someone has some tips. Currently we are quietly placing him back on his back every time but he just keeps doing it! 🤣🤡

Took 9 week old to a family party where there was loud music and she was next to the speaker for most of the time (about 3 hours). She slept through most of it. Do you think she has hearing loss from this?

Freaking out right now :(

Bedtime

What time are you getting your LOs down for the night now and how are you finding bedtime? We’ve had the sane routine since my daughter was a few weeks old - bath with her older sister and 6.45, followed by a bottle and ideally in bed by 7.30. This worked at first but over the last few weeks she’s been fighting it a lot and, with the exception of a few days last week which were a lot easier, it’s a bit of a battle to get her down and features a lot of screaming and resettling. Not sure if we are putting her down too early or late? Her last nap is usually a cat nap (30-45 mins) and finishes by 6. She’s pretty good at settling herself from a night feed, but seems to be unable to do it at bedtime, even with her dummy.
