Baby girl can’t put herself in a seated position

Hi, my little girl still can’t crawl, she also can’t put herself into a seated position. She sits really well unaided but I have to put her into a seated position. Is anyone else’s baby the same? I’m seeing many little ones already walking & crawling and I’m getting a little worried!

Hey there, my little man can't do this either and has only just started to crawl. It will happen wait and see! Xx

My little boy is the same… he sits really well and even walks aided but cannot pull himself to sit or stand or doesn’t crawl.
I think it was down to him hating tummy time when he was younger as he had a lot of reflux and was sick a lot when on his tummy.

I spoke to the HV a couple of weeks ago as I was concerned too and they said a lot of babies don’t crawl or pull themselves up at 10 months still. In my area they don’t class it as a milestone anymore too so they are not worried.

My boy is 9 months and can’t do any of that. He’s only just started to bounce on his legs/ put weight on the. as he always had them scrunched. I think it’s a long time before we see any crawling/standing up on things xxx

Sorry he can sit up but I also have to put him in the position and will occasionally fall backwards too x

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

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....

Crawling

Did anyone’s little one start crawling yet? I feel like we are falling behind but really have no idea. I’m trying to introduce more floor time but it’s been rough because of having hardwood floors and our 80 lb oblivious to life dog. I got us a carpet for the living room and trying to put the dog out more when the weather allows. She sits like a pro and will roll to get the things she needs😅 but no real signs of crawling yet.

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!
