I know I shouldn’t compare but …

My friends son wa born in august a week earlier than my son . She sends me vids of him here and there as do I on Snapchat.

However he is already holding rattled and toys! And he’s only 2 months!

Mine isn’t able to hold anything for long yet! And he can’t bring it to his mouth to explore either!

Is mine slow or delayed??
How do I help him

My lo is almost 10 weeks and he doesn’t hold rattles etc yet. He’s kicking his legs against anything noisy and trying to hit things but hasn’t started grabbing anything yet only my hair 😂!
Every baby is different aren’t they. Your LO may do other things first you will see as they grow up together how different they will be.

Please don't compare. He will do it in his own time.
I used to compare my oldest (2 and half) to his cousin who is 6 weeks younger than him she was rolling first and got teeth first. But he surpassed her. She's only just walking unaided and doesn't talk very well. Where people think my son is 3/4 because he's so advanced now xx

My LO is 13 weeks and doesn't do any of that. All he does is stuff his hands in his mouth and punches himself in his face, then looks shocked ha ha x

My boy is nearly 10 weeks old and can’t hold anything - doesn’t even show any interest in holding stuff…sometimes he puts his hand in his bottle whilst I’m feeding but he doesn’t try to grip it….I’m not bothered, it will come when he’s ready xx

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

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 🙂

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.

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. 🩵
