How did your baby go from walking assisted to walking unassisted? A different question- how did you help them practice?

I would volley my baby between my partner and i and would offer a toy or my breast loll

I got her a push toy at like 6 months to start walking on her own 😭 and then I used her pacifier to bribe her to take steps.

The bribe ✨, she started taking steps independently at 9 months , her dad use to also just hold her hands and run w her , I’ve seen videos that that works too

I would stack pillows and show him how to stand and strengthen his knees around 6m. From there he would always pull up on stuff. Eventually he would stand and let go. Then around 9/10m I would put a pair of socks in each hand and he started taking a few steps. Now he’s one and trying to run away
Edit: he didn’t start using a push walker until the day of his birthday and it helped it just get faster at walking

I noticed putting my daughter in shoes and holding her hand while walking around is helping her!

his hair 😍

What I did was I got her a push walker and let her use all over my moms house I also held her hand to get her to walk I even got a walker harness thing to try but all she wanted to do was jump when she was in it 😂

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

Hospital bag (UK)

What did everyone pack for their section? I'm staying in for 3 days due to mental health, not really sure what I'll need to bring, feeling very nervous. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.
