Very active 10 month old

Does anybody else’s baby just not want to sit and play?

Now that he’s realised he can get up and hold someone’s hand to walk around he will not sit and play or read a book anything! He is soooo active it’s knackering but just worried it will affect his development if he is not sitting and playing/reading etc?

He barely sleeps and fights like mad when it’s nap or bedtime.

Wakes around 6, has 2 half hour naps in the day and bedtime by 7ish

Anyone else in the same boat or advice please?

Yes, all my baby wants to do is move - crawl, stand, climb etc. He never sits down to play in one spot. We do manage to 'read' a book before bed where there's something to touch and move and he's happy with those

My son has been like this for months- as soon as he could crawl there was no stopping him! I would love to sit and read a book with him but he rarely sits still long enough. He's obsessed with doors - open, shut, open, shut!

Don't worry about his development... keep talking to him and as he moves around more, he'll encounter lots of different things and you can chat to him about what he's doing, and he'll be hearing lots of new words which will be great for learning.

Yes it's so knackering he's in all the cupboards now climbs the stairs amd reading a book is a mission I tend to read it loudly whilst he's climbing everywhere in the bedroom 🤣

Yep he's up and down like a yo-yo

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. 🩵

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

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?

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

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.
