Nearly 17 weeks and not rolling or laughing?

How many of your babies are rolling and laughing at this point? Worried my lg is behind. She smiles and makes noises and has just started to grab at toys and hold onto them and bring them to her mouth but is not rolling or laughing. She is very strong on tummy time but shows absolutely no sign of rolling. Should she be doing these things by now?

Well my girl is 18 weeks and this week we’ve been getting her first proper laughs rather than giggles and she has only rolled over a couple times unaided, other than that we practise every night by doing different exercises. All babies develop at their own pace, believe it or not some babies don’t roll at all until 6 months. I wouldn’t worry, she’ll get there x

My 15 week old is the same. Then I figured I’m just not funny and he laughs for other people 🤣

My 15 week old giggles at us all the time and is close to rolling front to back. But my 17 month old didn’t laugh until 5 months and didn’t roll for the first time until 8 months! They really do all do it at their own pace, try not to worry! Xx

My LB is 18 weeks and he has been doing some laughing but he’s definitely not eager to roll over at all😂 I do lay him on the floor and gently show him how to roll but he doesn’t care! He’d rather I held him up and he moves his feet forwards, he must think he’s walking😂 please don’t worry they all go at their own pace

All learn at different stages and their own pace so don't worry. My LB is 15 weeks today and has been giggling and laughing for nearly a month now, no sign of rolling yet 😊

No laughing and no signs of rolling at 18 weeks😂

My now 2.5 year old didn’t roll until about 7 months, my latest addition rolled at 12 weeks, and I definitely did a lot more tummy time with my first! Every baby is different and they all catch up with one another in the end. Also, having them rolling is overrated, life becomes harder when they can move!!

17 weeks laughs but no where near wanting to even attempt to roll x

My 3 month old has rolled front to back but it was a fluke and he’s not done it since. Plus he was on a rolled up blanket so had some help. Our daughter who is now 2 didn’t roll until 5 months and I don’t think that was especially late. Try not to worry

My lo is 18 weeks and we’ve not had a proper laugh yet but she is rolling (mainly back to front but sometimes front to back) however since she’s found her feet in the last couple of days the rolling has stopped 😂

Normal on both counts. My 19 week old is laughing but not rolling, he is able to lift himself fully when on his front, and rolls to his side when on his back so I'm sure it will happen soon, but it's normal to not roll yet

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.

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

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.
