Waking already

My little girl is walking, and we went to our 10-12 months review and they called her a ‘show off’ most of the other babies her age were just sitting up and some not crawling just yet(it was a group review) I keep seeing people on tiktok saying their babies have just started crawling. Is she ahead or is this normal?? One tired mama who needs eyes in the back of her head 😂

Just started crawling here. However, she's trying her best to stand up, so I don't think it will be long, but then I did say that about crawling and I think that took about 3 months to actually happen 🤣

The average age for walking is 12-15 months, so she is ahead of the curve but all babies develop at their own pace. My little girl started walking at 10 months so I feel you for needing eyes in the back of your head! I miss the days where you could plop them down and they'd still be there when you got back!

Rolling and crawling for ages but just starting to pull himself up. She's not ahead and babies only just sitting aren't behind. Every baby develops different skills at different times. Save yourself the stress. Be proud and enjoy her milestones without comparing x

Mines just started crawling, and this morning pulled herself up on the sofa. I'm not ready for this 😫😫😫

Mine bum shuffles and crawls backwards 😂 she's just started thinking about pulling herself onto the sofa, I think to terrorise the cat 😂

It's perfectly normal. Both my children started walking at 11 months.

My first was walking at 9 months, and running around by now, this one is standing, have to remind myself that actually he’s on track and not lazy 😂

Avatar

Mine stood up at 7 months but now he is 11 and it's still not walking without holding himself to a surface.

Mine walks but not confident yet ,she’s getting there . She’ll walk a longer distance when she’s mad and crying lol

Avatar

Yes walking and can say about 30 words so far.

Mine has been pulling up cruising since about 8 months old so I was convinced he'd walk before turning 1 but he just doesn't have the confidence to let go of whatever he's holding and take those first steps🙈

Avatar

Clever girl! We're pulling up, cruising, crawling etc but not standing independently or walking yet

My girl started walking last week and she turns one on Sunday. I thought she was pretty bang on average but every baby is so different, she isn’t saying many words at all but not worried , they all catch up eventually

Mine walked at 9 months

My first didn't walk until he was 15 months... but he was feeding himself with a spoon at 7 months and speaking in sentences by age 2. It isn't a race and a child who does one thing earlier than others will do other things much later. They all develop differently. Stay in your own lane and don't worry about others 😊

My little girl is 1 on Thursday and has been walking for about a month! Shes very confident now and we’ve just got her first pair of shoes last week as she wants to walk EVERYWHERE! It’s early for walking but like above every baby is different and I’m sure there are other things that she will do later- for example she’s pointing but not properly waving yet! All different :) I’m a teacher too and by reception you won’t be able to tell who walked first etc! Xxx

1 today and he's been walking since he was 10mo. Was only told positive things at review. Take no notice.

I had our 9-12 month review last week and they said my little one is advanced for her age. She is virtually walking just unsure about letting go and doing it herself. Rolled over at 2 months and sat up at 3 months, crawled just before 7 months and stood on her own at 9 months and she can say several words. All babies learn and develop at different stages, just be proud of your little one and enjoy every moment even if it’s testing when they’re on the move🥰

Mines is walking strong now he crawled on New Years Day at 6 and a half months 1week later he was pulling up to stand and by week 2 walking I thought that was early. But he has his big brother for inspiration lol

My 11.5 month old is crawling but not walking. It's totally fine if your baby was walking at 10 months. It's not showing off its just that everyone is different. It is on the earlier side but still within normal realm. Some HVs are a bit pointless imo x

I think Motherhood has made me more bitter than I realized…

This is such a ramble but I don’t know where else to put it all.

I’m four months in and I don’t really have hobbies right now. I don’t do anything for myself except maybe doomscrolling or listening to a podcast while I breastfeed my baby. I used to craft and have game nights with friends. Activities that usually are at least 2 hour stretches. Now if I have an hour free my mind immediately goes to baby, or doing something in the house for baby.

And I thought I didn’t mind. Like I knew postpartum could be very mentally consuming. But I think it’s altering how I view people around me and it’s prodding at my relationship with my husband.

He spends most of his time making food for us, looking after our dogs, playing with the baby, ect. But he still has time for his hobby. Spends maybe an hour a night on it. Even adapted to using a bot for shopping for his hobby after a certain incident where we had to have a heart to heart after he left me home alone with the baby for hours during a busy workday (I work from home) to shop for his hobby.

And yet there’s like this little green eyed monster in me that rages every time I know he’s running off to start up the bot. Even though I’m the reason he does it this way.

We took a family trip last weekend to see his best friend and their kids and let them meet the baby. He brought the laptop. He’s always brought a laptop on trips and it’s never been a problem to me before. But one night we both woke up while the baby was still asleep, and he wandered out of the room. I tried to fall back asleep but couldn’t. So I went to the kitchen to try having something warm to drink to settle me. And he was there at the table running the bot from his laptop. I flipped out at him. But there really wasn’t reason to. It’s not like I needed help with the baby and he was ignoring me. He wasn’t avoiding our friends. He was just awake and unable to sleep and found something to do with his time. Yet my snap reaction was “why the hell would you do this on a family trip?”

I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s the less complete sleep from baby’s middle of the night feed? My brain being just consumed by baby? Maybe I’m not as over that shopping incident as I thought? But I’m just so annoyed at his hobby right now. The green eyed monster thinks “you could be using that time differently” but realistically to do what exactly??? Stare at our baby in the dark???

I spent probably an hour apologizing to him after I snapped. And he’s of course hurt and frustrated because I said some very mean things in the moment.

I don’t want to be this jealous, angry person. But I also don’t know how to find time for myself in this right now outside of basic hygiene. It’s like I’ve forgotten how to be myself, even if just for an hour.

Maybe I need a therapist.

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.
