Twirling feet

Hi all, is this normal ? He does this constantly and since he was 6 month old. I’m not sure if this is normal behaviour. I spoke to my dr and he said my baby looks fine. I didn’t show him the feet twirling. But based on his behaviour when we were at the docs, he was fine.

My girl has 1 leg that she uses to bounce herself in her seat. The thing is always going, she also had a growling stage. Babies do strange things lol. Just wanted to comment and say I love the hair! That floof is so cute :)

Hahah thank you, his hair doesn’t stay down 😆😅 they sure do a lot strange things! Hoping this is a phase

Awww seems like he’s just getting used to his body. When they’re so young you’ll see a lot of little funny things they do but it’s nothing to get worried about.

I've never seen this as a symptom? Would there be anything else to make you think autism is a factor?

Just looks like he’s enjoying himself, I wouldn’t have looked at that and been concerned.

Looks like baby is getting used to his body parts lol my baby loved his feet at one point. He would watch them and try to put them in his mouth, the feet are so fascinating for them and remember they are just realizing that they are the ones moving those body parts.

Yes it’s normal xx

My daughter does this all fhe time when she’s happy or excited. Perfectly fine

Completely normal :) and he's a cutie xx

My baby did this all the time!

when I carry him or if he’s in front of him, he would look at me . However if someone else is holding him or playing with him. He will look at me and interact with me. He just won’t look at the person who’s carrying them if that makes sense. I find it abit strange. He’s also extremely fussy like he’ll want me to carry him but then as soon as I carry him, he wants to be put down as well. lol other than that, I’m mainly concern about his twirling feet and his hand

Also just want to add he’s now 10 months old. He’s been doing this for 5 months now

@Michelle what you're describing doesn't send any red flags up in my opinion. I'm not an expert, but I saw signs in my son around that age that signaled autism, lack of eye contact etc, even though they wouldnt diagnose him until 18 months ,I knew.

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 🙂

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.

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.

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.

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?
