Nearly 11 month old not crawling🙄

My very lazy little boy who’s nearly 11 months old has no interest in crawling he will get on all 4s rock back and forth and then just sit straight back up he just wants to be standing holding our hands but isn’t strong enough yet on his legs. Anyone else’s baby the same I feel awful that he just doesn’t move 😭

My little girl is 11m & only started crawling last week. They do it when they're good & ready x

I feel exactly the same, my little girl is nearly 11 months and seems exactly the same as your little boy

Thank you all, so reassuring knowing he’s not the only one x

My LB is 11 months and is commando crawling and is showing no inclination of crawling crawling and no matter how much I try and encourage him isn’t trying to pull himself up and can’t get from the floor to sitting yet. But my LG was doing all of that by 10 months. But my LBs fine motor skills are amazing - I think they just come on at different speeds. Though it does worry you, I would be lying if I said it didn’t xx

Yeah my little boys fine motor skills are amazing but is just so lazy when it comes to crawling ahah xx

My LG is 10 months and 2 weeks ish.. she has no interest at all, she just lies on her tummy , puts her head down and kicks her legs.
She enjoys standing while holding onto my arms or some things for a short period of time.
I’m not sure how I’m feeling about it now, she also is very lazy.
She’s just started to pivot and move forward while sitting.

Over supply of milk

I am nearly 5weeks postpartum and I have such a big over supply of BM.
Has anyone donated / sold their supply, if so where do you recommend for this?

AITA

In the uk there is an outbreak of meningitis, in a specific area mainly. My BD has family from that area and decided to go and meet up with them, I said if he does then he cannot have contact with the kids for 7-10 days after incase he picks anything up. Am I being over dramatic? I reallyyy don’t want my young kids getting anything serious

Baby clothes

Just out of curiosity, why do parents love zipper onesies?

Don’t get me wrong, I tried zipper ones it’s easy to zip in and out when putting it on the first time and taking it out, but I find it difficult when changing diapers especially when baby is asleep.

I prefer those kimono style buttons where it’s easy to button or too down button with crotch snaps.

Is everyone thinking the same or different? Lol

This might rattle some people

Ok, this might get a bit long, and a bit bumpy, so get comfy and buckle up.

So about a week or 2 ago, there was a post on here regarding sleepovers. Not letting their child go to them as you can't trust who'll be at the house etc.

Now, given recent incidents in nurseries and schools, plus my own experience back in the 90s, I am more concerned about sending my child to nursery and later school than I am to a friend's house for a sleep over.

The other day a man was jailed for abusing children at the nursery he worked at. A woman has been arrested for sleeping with an underage boy and then getting pregnant by a different underage boy while on bail for the first offence.

Young girls and boys get sexually harassed and bullied when at school, not all of them. But more than you think. And not just by other kids, but by adults who we as parents are trusting to look after our kids.

A sleepover, is a more controlled environment, with only a handful of people coming into contact with your child. A school, a club etc there can be 100s of people coming into contact with your child.

I was targeted at 7 years old by the owner of a prominent private school. Thankfully, I wasn't SA'd. In year 5 of primary school, I started to develop early, I was harassed by the boys and teachers made remarks about how my uniform didn't fit right, always "adjusting it" around my chest and legs.

Years 7-9 of secondary school were hell. But it was all under the guise of "we're just messing around". A teacher twanging my exposed bra strap (none uniform day) is not "messing around".

Boys pinning me down trying to rip open my shirt to see my breasts.

I fear for my daughter. I hope she takes after my father's family, flat chested.

We need to educate all our children, what is acceptable behaviour. And to come to us, as their parents should ANYTHING happen.

Car seat

No idea which car seat to get next. Please hit me with your recommendations, 1year+ (preferably rear facing or 360). Thank you 🫶🏻

At this point I’m not enjoying motherhood

My 22 month old is horrendous at the moment🫣 biting, hitting, pushing, pulling and shoving not only adults but children he also wants what other children have and will just snatch it away from them.

We repeat ‘nice hands’ ‘be gentle’ ‘let’s share’ etc

But how do I make him understand what he’s doing isn’t very nice? At the end of the day I feel like I’ve just been saying his name all day and nothing else.

What can I do?
