Health visitor checks

So we had our late 9-12 check up the other day. HV did a 14m check up to coincide with LM actual age (he's 14m in 2 weeks). There are a number of things she's said we need to work on:
1,pointing
2, finding things in different room
3, stepping holding onto one hand
4, standing on own
5, climbing
6, stacking toys
7, making marks on paper
8, using other items to grab toys that are out of reach,
9, taking a few steps solo

Has anyone else's baby/babies done all of this? Can you please let me know which "milestones" they havnt done yet?

Or any pointers you can give to help me with baby reaching said milestones. Thanks šŸ’œ

1- yes
2 - Erm, I don’t tend to leave her in another room on her own unless in her cot!!
3 - no where near
4 - no where near
5 - no where near
6 - a few times but maybe fluke.
7 - yes, but she will also try and eat the crayon
8 - no idea, probably not.
9 - no where near

Ooh not tried to see if he can get stuff from a different room šŸ¤” He knows where to find his sister in her bedroom, if that counts. Not sure if he uses other items to grab stuff either. Pretty sure he can do the rest though. I just came to say that all babies are different and will get there eventually. My niece didn't walk until she was almost 18 months but her language has always been amazing. My eldest was walking well bang on 1 year but only had one word until she was about 18 months, whereas my son has only just become a half decent walker at 13 months but has LOADS of words. Probably because his sister doesn't shut up now at 2.5 years 🤣

there isn't, it's only as we missed the 9-12 month due to my HV being unwell at original appointment time

My 13m boy does all but 8 but I really think it’s inappropriate for them to tell people to work on this stuff, they will all do it in their own time! They shouldn’t be making mums worry and feel anxious.

We had a 14m review at 13 months as they were too busy to do one any earlier. The conclusion of ours was that because my LG doesn't stack toys or walk that I will need a follow up call in 3 months time. I personally wouldn't worry about any of those things. Every baby is different. I've tried mark marking in different ways with mine and she simply wants to eat whatever I give her. She's just started getting me a book when I ask for one.

we have one booked in for 3 months time too. Why do they put so much pressure on us when they know every baby is different?

I’m getting a phone call in May to see if my daughter is still not pulling herself up to standing. Given it’s nearly May I don’t imagine she will be so not quite sure what will happen after that. She had a hip scan as a baby šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø

Mine is 14months and doesn’t stand at all so doesn’t do 3,4,5 & 9

I’m not worried. He moves, he is happy. He plays and engages with people. He will get there.

Mine can do everything except 2, 6 and 8. Unless you count standing on some of his toys to reach our Playstation controllers as number 8 šŸ˜‚

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.

I feel like just a milk cow

Hi I have a 16 day old via c section, I'm a FTM never having been around babies before as I am the youngest of my household and from a small family. My husband is fantastic with our little one. But ever since I've had the baby I just feel like the only thing I'm good for is producing milk. I feel disconnected from my husband like the only reason he's around is because am producing milk. We were having some issues before the baby and we're struggling it took a while to feel like he was onboard even though he said he was from the moment we found out. I dunno if I'm feeling like a spear part because I'm lacking confidence with baby or because I feel like he wouldn't mind being a single dad. Is this postpartum hormones or something else?

How long did it take for your child’s circumcision to heal and you could give him a bath?

I’ve just been wiping him down with a fiber wash cloth but I just wanted to know from others experience on how long it took

Guilt

Does anyone else feel guilty for every little thing they do? I feel like I need to be entertaining my little one at all times. If I have to put her in the activity center to finish a task, instant guilt. In the car for too long, instant guilt. Replying to work emails instead of interacting with her, instant guilt. I know independent play is good for her but my brain thinks otherwise. Please tell me it gets better, I’d love to shower for more than 10 minutes without it feeling like the world is going to collapse.
