December 2022 Babies 🇬🇧

Very grumpy 1 year old!!!

My little boy turned 1 in December and over the last 6 weeks he is just so grumpy, he screams at my legs all day, will hardly play with his toys and just wants to be held. He hates the pushchair and screams whenever he’s in it making it impossible to do literally anything!! I feel like there must be something wrong for a baby to be this miserable all the time!!

Honestly, mine became the same! She was the most happy and giggly baby for the year. And then bam she turned one, had the jabs and just screams and grunts at me most the time 😂 I really don’t know what phase this is… hope it passes quickly!

Same here! Mine starts to throw tantrums and now has learned to slap and pull hair. Just dont know what to do to stop this behaviour.

Wed been in it a while, got worse around her birthday (5/12) but the last week she's really come out of it! I think it's part of a big developmental leap that can involve a lot of seperation anxiety and can last to around 14 months or so. Everything was affected tbh, sleep, moods, behaviour, eating, skills. But she's come out of it and is flying again xx

Health Visitor Home Visit

Hii, could anyone explain what the health visitor does on their home visit?

Also if anyone had a home birth, what the midwife home risk assessment involves?

I’ve got 3 home visits coming up in the next two weeks (health visitor, midwives and doula) and it’s making me nervous for some reason. I think having 3 just feels like a lot and a bit invasive if that makes sense!

Did you know this was a thing?

Didn’t know this existed! I’m actually not breastfeeding 2nd time round (though wish I did) after a bad experience with my 1st baby. But this is something I 100% needed 1st time round.

Fighting naps

Does anybody else feel like they spend all day trying to get baby to nap? I get tempted to give up as he must not be that tired but he is too cranky to play or do anything else!

How are we entertaining our babies

What toys does everyone have for their 7 month old?
Nothing is satisfying my little girl she's got blocks, rattles, playmats loads more. She would much rather hold my hands and walk all day but I cant physically do that and whenever I put her down to play she just wont, is this just a faze?

Any experience with different teats?

Hey Mamas

So my little girl is exclusively breastfed but she wont even take FRESHLY PUMP milk from the bottle. I had a whole 4oz that was going to waste and baby girl was just massanging her gums and smiling lol :/
Ive tried adding extra holes with a needle, the ol' switcheroo (BF first then switch ti bottle) but she's very keen and notices straight away.
Im currently using Nuby and Tommee silicone bottles, and I would like to try more softer, boob-like teats.

Id ideally like her to take a bottle so Dad can give me a REAL break yknow.

Has anyone had this same experience? Any teats one would recommend?
Thank you in advance!
