Any tips on how to get my 7 month old to pull her self up to sit or start crawling.

She can prop sit pretty well and does some type of one handed belly crawl thing.

I did a lot of assisted crawling with my kiddo. I sat on the floor with a yoga mat and moved his arms and legs and helped him practice! The arm strength and moving his legs under him were the hard part. 10 minutes at a time. Also work with her to build those core muscles by holding her hips to balance while sitting up. You can sit behind her in a v sit too.

my girl started off with the one handed crawl and now her big girl self can scoot herself wherever she wants to go! it’s a bit of a pain once they become mobile 😂 i would definitely recommend a zany zoo, and that’ll help with the curiosity of all the toys on the top of the cube and soon enough she’ll be able to pull herself up if you practice holding her while she stands there or is on her knees. as far as crawling goes, it takes time, but i did loads of tummy time still and placed toys my girl loved a little out of her reach to get her going. you got this mama!

Mine isn't crawling yet and barely puts weight on his legs! You're not behind :) it's totally normal for kiddos to start crawling at 9 or 10 or 11 months!

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Breastfeeding

Does it ever feel better? The actual feeding part of it is going really well and baby boy is growing so well. I’m struggling with how my boobs feel day to day - it’s really getting me down most days. The let downs make me feel awful and sounds silly but, I am also really missing not wearing a bra! 9 weeks postpartum and still getting fairly engorged, even with comfort pumping.

Any advice or just shared stories would help. I’m so torn between carrying on because I enjoy the feeding side of it or switching to formula.

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Big nursing bras!

I’m looking for recommendations for good nursing bras for bigger breasted ladies!

I’m currently in a 38H which seems to be the biggest size done at M&S (UK based mama here) and it’s snug and not as supportive as I’d like. When I look online, they mainly seem to be sized S, M, L, XL etc rather than bra sizes.

Any recommendations please?
