Almost 8 months

My son doesn’t respond to his name. Is this a concern? He’s hitting all his milestones. Is anyone else going through this?

Mine is not either
Every so often he will and I’m thinking that just because he hears sound 😭

My 7 month old does a little I feel it’s because yk how we call the nicknames and stuff well I feel like they get confused so we have started prioritizing his name and looking at him and smiling and I feel like that has helped

Same , my son is doing everything on time and more, but he doesn’t respond to his name . I think it’s because he have so many nicknames he’s confused

It’s like how babies won’t say mama or dada and actually mean it until a certain age. They don’t exactly know what your name is yet so they won’t necessarily know what their name is until a certain agar but all babies are different and progress on their own time so don’t worry about that as long as he’s hitting milestones he should be fine

Girlllll I’m not sure my babe quite knows his name either and he just turned eight months lol. Milestones can be helpful but don’t invest too much in them! Some babies are early to do everything, others are late to everything and others fall in-between. If this is all you’re noticing in your babe, it’s very likely your LO is just fine mama :) Don’t hesitate to bring it up with your pediatrician though for added peace of mind.

Mine was not either but I started increasing mirror time, having her look in a mirror and pointing at her and saying her name & saying her name in songs

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

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?

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
