Asymmetrical crawling

My Lo crawls like this and didn’t even realise it could be an issue until a family member said something about it and now I’m a little concerned, who would I need to take him to for it to be checked?

Well poop 💩🤣
My LO just started crawling this evening like this, we called it the Gollum 🤦🏽‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

😂😭 I love that, I never even thought anything about it as a friend said her Lo crawled like this and then started walking not long after but then another family member has said it can be an issue with the hips so I’ve started panicking

My little one does a bit of both she mainly started doing this to build up strength ♥️

My little one started out like that and still goes like that sometimes but mostly crawls normal now. Dunno if it could be an issue, I just thought it was cute

Mine did this for a week or so, then started army crawling, then actually crawling 😂 and now hes nearly walking, personally im not worried 😂

My nephew crawled like than and very shortly after, he was walking. Maybe discuss with the health visitor and see if you could be referred to a physio/OT. But I’m sure you’ve got nothing to worry about. x

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.
