No worries my girl just showed interest in standing up around her first birthday. Now two months later she walks on her own. Don’t panic.

She’s still really young, I’d just keep letting her find her feet on her own and eventually she’ll build up enough core strength to stand and walk. My son walked at about 13 months and he was one of the early ones!
I didn’t do anything in particular to help him, I just let him pull himself up by holding onto things and he had a walker that he’d push around when he wanted to. They do it in their own time, don’t worry x

Sounds normal, lovely. They all move at their own pace. My son walked at 11 months old but my friends son didn’t walk until he was 15 months, they will get it when they’re ready! Just keep letting her do her thing and be there to support her, you’re doing great. She’ll be running around in no time!

My daughter didn’t start walking until she was almost 18 months
I was getting really worried about her as well.
My sister in law gifted my daughter a toy kitchen which my daughter loved playing with and encouraged her standing, surfing and taking little steps.

My boy just started walking at 18 months!
She will get there in her own time have a look on Pinterest for activities to help with encouraging baby to walk :)

my girl starts to walk at 14 months. Don’t worry too much, they can wait up until 18 months.

Completely normal! I was freaking out she did not like tummy time which delayed her crawling and then of course her walking. She didn’t start until 16months, now she runs everywhere and does not sit still. Don’t stress too much lovely!

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....

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!

Rapid cool/ hot shot method

Sorry if this sound stupid but how are we doing the hot shot method?
Are we boiling the kettle and letting it cool a little before adding to hot flask? Then with the cool water do you boil the kettle and leave it to cool right down before putting into another flask?
My baby brain is fried trying to work out the easiest way!

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.
