Don’t panic my eldest didn’t crawl until 10 months he commando crawled or rolled everywhere haha
My August baby is rolling and dragging himself along, he is 6 months and 1 week x

My boy is 7 months on Tuesday… not interested in crawling one bit. I think he’ll walk first tbh he’s already trying to pull himself up on things when he’s sat up

Also 7 months on Sunday 😍 she’s not crawling yet although seems to get around the room doing tummy time haha

Your not doing anything wrong. My boy is 6months 1 week and he’s not crawling and not interested. He rolls and prefers to stand lol
Each child is different and the reason why the health support team comes at 12months and not before is because each child develops different times but they get there in the end. If you are proud of your son for what he can do then this person who is making you feel this way obviously is not proud of him and doesn’t understand him.
You are doing amazing Mummy and don’t let anyone including yourself make you think any differently. 🥰
Be yourself and your sons best friend and cheer him on for being him and for you being you 🥰

Our lo is almost 7mnths and can't. He moves his legs and bum slightly sometimes and tries to bum shuffle but can't either. It'll come one way or another x

My girl
Does this also same age

Be kind to yourself mumma! My girl is almost 7 mos old and still not rolling. I am not feeling bad tho, just loving and enjoying our everyday x

My son will be 7 months on Wednesday & isn't fully crawling yet, he rolls over, lifts his butt and glides, pulls on things, good balance when I stand him up etc. He's days away from crawling from what I can see but every baby is different & moves at their own pace! Sometimes I feel like I'm not doing enough but it's quite the opposite & I try not to compare. I almost feel he might skip crawling & go straight to walking! You're doing amazing, just be patient 🩷

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?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!

Rapid cool/ hot shot method

Sorry if this sound stupid but how are we doing the hot shot method?
Are we boiling the kettle and letting it cool a little before adding to hot flask? Then with the cool water do you boil the kettle and leave it to cool right down before putting into another flask?
My baby brain is fried trying to work out the easiest way!

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.
