Overly Confident Baby?

My son, Theo, is really outgoing and confident. He is fearless with climbing and exploring (it’s exhausting because I can’t take my eyes off him for even a second). He will constantly push his toy box to places so he can climb to what he wants to reach up to.

He’s also so outgoing with everyone, like if we are in a restaurant he’s always turned around trying to chat with other families, last week on the school run he confidently walked in the middle of a group of mums and started talking to them.

Is this normal? My older daughter has always been quite cautious and reserved. I don’t know, I think it might just be his personality but you know, being a mum there is always a seed of doubt that something isn’t quite right.

I’ve added a picture because he’s super gorgeous ❤️

My boy is the same - busy babies! However, it’s been very handy with the transition to nursery - he loves it 🤣

Mines an adventurous climber and will carry his wooden block tib to use as a step or his walker and a climbing frame to get to where he wants. He climbs out the pool during swimming (mainly to jump back in) and will easily climb into the sofa. He seems shy around people until he knows them or they smile at him (depends on the person). He's not fully waling yet though. He took independant steps weeks ago and will stand and get up unaided, but prefers to crawl

My girl is the same, when we go to a playgroup she is off to say hi to everyone, claps and yells the loudest while the same aged baby’s sit in mommy’s lab and just watch silently 🙄🙃

My daughter just loves to climb on any and everything she can. I don’t mind it I’m glad she’s adventurous. She’s absolutely sweet and kind. She loves talking, waving to strangers she even tries to give people her food. (This outfit is her pjs and she hates to sleep in pants and or sleeves this was right before bed)

Any September 2025 babies crawling yet

My little one isn’t crawling yet but he loves tummy time

Health Visitor Home Visit

Hii, could anyone explain what the health visitor does on their home visit?

Also if anyone had a home birth, what the midwife home risk assessment involves?

I’ve got 3 home visits coming up in the next two weeks (health visitor, midwives and doula) and it’s making me nervous for some reason. I think having 3 just feels like a lot and a bit invasive if that makes sense!

Did you know this was a thing?

Didn’t know this existed! I’m actually not breastfeeding 2nd time round (though wish I did) after a bad experience with my 1st baby. But this is something I 100% needed 1st time round.

Fighting naps

Does anybody else feel like they spend all day trying to get baby to nap? I get tempted to give up as he must not be that tired but he is too cranky to play or do anything else!

How are we entertaining our babies

What toys does everyone have for their 7 month old?
Nothing is satisfying my little girl she's got blocks, rattles, playmats loads more. She would much rather hold my hands and walk all day but I cant physically do that and whenever I put her down to play she just wont, is this just a faze?

Any experience with different tears?

Hey Mamas

So my little girl is exclusively breastfed but she wont even take FRESHLY PUMP milk from the bottle. I had a whole 4oz that was going to waste and baby girl was just massanging her gums and smiling lol :/
Ive tried adding extra holes with a needle, the ol' switcheroo (BF first then switch ti bottle) but she's very keen and notices straight away.
Im currently using Nuby and Tommee silicone bottles, and I would like to try more softer, boob-like teats.

Id ideally like her to take a bottle so Dad can give me a REAL break yknow.

Has anyone had this same experience? Any teats one would recommend?
Thank you in advance!
