My LO is nearly 6months old and doesn’t roll yet😢 anyone tips on how I help her to start rolling.
I’ve done hands to feet and roll, toys to the side/above her at an angle

Are you using a hard surface? I first tried baby on the bed and sofa as that’s where we were. It was only when I saw hard surfaces are easier and I put her on the floor she found her way xx

she has a play pen and I put her in them with loads of toys and still nothing😢xx

Maybe try like pushing her on her side to kind of show? I would do that with my son and then he eventually started finishing the roll over. You could also maybe try a boppy pillow and prop her up on the and put some toys on the side out of reach that was another thing I tried. don’t be too disappointed tho every baby goes at there own pace 😁

I use to roll my little one like you said by guiding him so he gets used to that movement and made it fun by making noises, or wrapped him in a towel and rocked him from left to right on the floor in a fun way. Also assisted side playing is good so they get used to it. If your little one can’t lay sideways then prop a rolled up towel behind them or a pillow when she is on their side so you’re supporting them. Does your little one follow things with their eyes ? My partner used to make my little one follow a toy and move it diagonally from infront of him to then behind and it would kinda trick him into following the object and then he would roll. Also prop her up on her elbows,hands together.

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

Hey what are your current symptoms?

I’m 37+5

I’m pretty mobile still but anything over a hour or 2 and I’m in discomfort

Getting up from a sitting position is hard

Some of baby’s movements now are bordering on painful especially around my crotch/pelvis

I’m exhausted very easily and nap every single day

Can basically only breathe out my mouth now and I’m snoring and dribbling 😂

Standing in one leg is very painful 😂

Some waves of pain/ tightening but I regular and mild

Low period type aches

And I feel like a fire breathing dragon with this acid reflux

My nose is growing 😂

My fingers swell slightly and go numbs in my sleep so that and constant toilet breaks keep me up ( checked swelling with MW and consultant and all normal, not a worry)


I also do not want to be social in person like I’d rather everyone just be my penpal atm lol


What are your symptoms?
