My little girl is one in a few weeks, she’s not crawling, or walking and she’s only just mastered sitting up unsupported. She doesn’t eat much food and just squashes most of it up in her hands or throws it on the floor. Is anyone else’s baby like this? I feel like a bad mom as she seems to be really behind with her development☹️

I know it's really hard not to, but don't beat yourself up over it! All babies develop at different rates. My son didn't walk till 16 months, but then mastered it super quickly and was running around within weeks. When they get older no one knows who started walking when!
Just give as many opportunities as you can, get down on the floor with her and support her. Lots of tummy time and putting things just out of her reach so she jas to work to get to them. We often make things too easy for our babies thinking we are being helpful! Xx

You aren't a bad mum at all! Some babies learn at a slower rate and that's okay. My daughter is terrible with food even though I try my hardest! They will figure it out eventually 😊
