Yes! My little boy just rocks back and forth on his bum but doesn’t move and then when he gets onto his belly just cries out of frustration! He wants to move but just can’t figure it out or is too lazy.. he will get there in his own time I keep worrying myself over seeing others crawl and say mama etc mine isn’t but they are all so different xx

My boy has only just started to rock on his hands and knees and he is 9 months in 3 days 🙈
My mum always says that’s there’s truth to the saying of “lazy boys” and this is where it came from 😂

my daughter now 5 was like this, she wasn't intrested in crawling and I thought she was behind, 10 and a half months and she took her first steps 🤣 completely missed any kind of crawling and just went straight to walking, babies do everything in their own wonderful ways, I think especially if there's no siblings there they have no intrest in moving because they have no reason to 🤣

My little girl was the same at this age and just refused to do anything, and then her Nanna put her glasses and the remote controls on the floor and I’ve never seen a baby move so quickly!! 🤣

My boy has been crawling for a few weeks now but he’s been trying since 6 months old so we’ve been waiting for a while. I do think it’s usually around 9 months they start to crawl? I think I saw that somewhere, does he go on all fours? Could try putting toys in front and see if he will attempt to get them? We did this and he would stretch out trying to grab it and then did an army crawl and eventually crawled 😂

My boy just spins in circles on his bum and he goes into a crawling position but doesn't move 😂

My little boy is almost 9 months and shows no interest in crawling or rolling! He’s content sitting and his favourite thing at the moment is to be on his feet standing although not alone as yet x

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Crawling

Did anyone’s little one start crawling yet? I feel like we are falling behind but really have no idea. I’m trying to introduce more floor time but it’s been rough because of having hardwood floors and our 80 lb oblivious to life dog. I got us a carpet for the living room and trying to put the dog out more when the weather allows. She sits like a pro and will roll to get the things she needs😅 but no real signs of crawling yet.

Guilt

Does anyone else feel guilty for every little thing they do? I feel like I need to be entertaining my little one at all times. If I have to put her in the activity center to finish a task, instant guilt. In the car for too long, instant guilt. Replying to work emails instead of interacting with her, instant guilt. I know independent play is good for her but my brain thinks otherwise. Please tell me it gets better, I’d love to shower for more than 10 minutes without it feeling like the world is going to collapse.
