Crawling/pulling up on furniture?

Hi everyone! My 8 month baby boy is not showing signs of crawling at all. He hates being on his stomach we try tummy time and he screams the whole house down, until he’s back on his bum sat up where he’s happy. He will lean onto his hands when sitting up but will not try anything else he won’t try to get onto his knees he will just rock onto his hands and then back up. Does anyone else’s baby not show any interest in crawling/ pulling themselves up yet?🩷

My baby will army crawl and try and crawl on her knees. But has absolutely no interest in pulling herself up yet. He will do it in his own time! Just give him time and it’ll come. Every baby is different but it’s so easy to compare I find. Especially on an app like this too xx

My baby army crawls but does not roll... I've given up going by milestones by age... He's got 5 teeth...but according to his age, he should have 2 lol

My son didn’t like tummy time either. We’d lie him on an elongated cushion, so that his hands would be up front, and put toys for him initially at reach, after he was used to it, slightly out of reach 😊

My little boy is almost 9months and he doesn’t crawl either and he can’t say any words just yet either it’s so crazy he hates being on his belly too

Mines the same. I honestly wouldn't be worrying, they'll do it in their own time! I read that babies develop the skills they need so they dont need to crawl just yet 🙂

I wouldn't worry 😊 My LG isn't crawling either and doesn't ever put herself into the crawling position yet, she's just turned 8 months...I'm not remotely worried as her big sister don't crawl until she was 9.5 months. With my eldest I just got toys that moved around which encouraged her eventually to go for them

Don’t worry to much about what. Your baby ‘should be dojng’ my little girl is almost 9 month, has just this last 2 weeks started rolling around the house. Like no tomorrow, this last month took to been on her tummy - she hated tummy time and would have a complete fit if we tried too long- she preferred to sit up all the time, she has just started pushing herself backwards when on her. Belly which is quite funny 🤣 and she can only stand up for a short amount of time so I doubt she will. Be pulling herself up anytime soon, but she’s got 5 teeth, which like previous have said at their age should only have 2, I used to stress loads. About not hitting mile stones etc, but some she hit before she should have and others will come when shes ready to do them x

Mine is exactly the same! Hates being on his belly and doesn’t really push up on his arms but loves to sit and reach as far as possible without being on his belly 😂

Mine has 0 interest in moving anywhere! She sits unassisted, rolls front to back but throws a tantrum about it 🤣🙃 she will reach for things etc but doesn’t get on her knees or pivot!

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

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 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.

Did I overreact?

I have had 3 c sections, recently had a wisdom teeth removal (4) to be exact and all my mom did was visit the day BEFORE and then she only sent 1 text. She has NEVER spent one full day with me and doesn’t acknowledge my achievements much. She just isn’t there when I need her to be. She claims she’s always working but she lives like 7 minutes away! she can come help with the kids so my husband can have break? we don’t ask her for much and she only sees the kids 1-2 a month. She also didn’t visit with my last c section. I told her that she should’ve gotten the abortion when she had the chance with me because why would you have me and neglect me emotionally? To not actually give me a present father in my life. I am very angry all she does is disappoint me. She only wants to show up for certain people in the family and I just want to grab her and shake her and ask her why can’t she be a good present mother?
