Super strong baby

This is Amelia she is almost 6 months and she can stand on her feet ,flat and she started doing this at 3 months it's just crazy,her attention span is in unusally long I did explain this to a doctor when she had a check up she is well focused for her age she could sit and stare at someone for more than an hour and not be phased she loves it ,it's generally quite fasanating but I generally think she's gifted ,and shes awake for more than 5 hours at a time during the day ...she started to get really strong to the point she left bruises on my chest from kicking me so hard It was funny but now I think it's a habit 🤣

Have her evaluated by a PT & OT for hypertonia. Sounds like she has muscle tone issues…. Being extremely advanced in development is just as bad as being delayed.. there’s something abnormal going on with the body to cause that… definitely a red flag if she’s super ahead of milestones like you’re saying.

Ours stands too and has the biggest proud smile, it's so adorable! She started pulling to sit at 8w and pulling to stand at 3m, I've never seen it before 🤯
Do you think she will end up walking early?
Btw hypertonia shows as a stiff baby, ours had some tension post birth (like pretty much every baby), but it's all gone now

all of the things you described are usually with kids who are delayed - kids do develop at different rates - let her be a proud mummy ! Trust me , mums know when there is something wrong with their kids. Holly - Well done to your little girl ! :) don’t let other people to dime your light ;)

Ours is exactly the same. My little one can stay awake / focused on something for hours. She’s been standing since 3 months (with our support), is really strong when pushing/ kicking against you. She’s been sat up for a while now but can now pull herself into sitting position and she’s trying to crawl! They warned us about these post pandemic babies 🤣

🥱🥱🥱

no it's okay it's not that ,it's been ruled out for hypertonia has muscle and bone issues run on my partners side we did get all the checked out she's absolutely fine it's just crazy how strong she is thats all ,my mum has 5 kids and when I had my baby she noticed that she is an advanced baby but she doesn't have those issues I think I'd notice if there was something wrong as I'm extremely aware and attached to her 💕

yes I did hear about this 🤣and I had COVID before and during my pregnancy this little one definitely used to the crazyness 🤣

our little one started to hold a bottle at 8 weeks old 😆

and thank you for making more nervous as a first time mum to my last baby 😃

that's good practice for helping you wish shopping bags later 😂😂

honey my son has dystonia as well as hypertonia. I absolutely know what I am talking about, I’ve lived this. If her child is “freakishly strong” that’s not normal and should be looked at. My son has never been delayed.

wow 🥴🖕🏻

it's not normal my child strong..what the hell stop freaking other mums out 🙄

Awww what a clever baby!!! You shoukd be so proud. My little lady is also very strong but yours sounds amazing xxxx

thank you 💕

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? 😅

Signs of Neurodivergent Toddler

Any moms of neurodivergent toddlers who could help me out? My son is 13 months old. I know that is technically too early for a diagnosis, but I have a gut feeling that he is on the autism spectrum.

The main sign he shows is hand leading. He does not point at all, and instead will take my hand and lead me anywhere he wants to go,
getting very frustrated if I do not follow.

He is also extremely sensitive to being touched, especially when it comes to hats and putting clothes on. He won’t let anything touch his head or face and I have to fight him to brush his teeth, comb his hair, etc.

He’s very interested in things that aren’t toys and will repeat the same behavior over and over. He can go in and out of doors or walk up and down stairs for hours. He loves taking things out of containers and putting the back in repeatedly.

We recently took him on his first vacation and he REALLY struggled with the change. He struggles with any type of transition or change in routine.

He laughs, makes eye contact, mostly responds to his name, but doesn’t do any other gestures.

Normal toddler behavior or signs of ASD? Let me know your thoughts!

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! 🤣🤡
