The two other December babies I know irl already are standing and even walking while pushing their walkers. My daughter cannot stand on her own yet though she does try to so she hasn’t been able to even take steps.

My baby isn't walking yet either!

Mines not! She stands and will sometimes take a couple steps. I think she’s still unsure

My December baby has taken like 1-2 steps the last couple weeks and just now started taking a few more steps. My oldest started walking at 15 months.
My experience is that standing on their own (like not holding on to anything) comes really close to walking as those skills are really intertwined.
There is a really broad range of ages for walking. I think they get concerned when they aren't walking by 18 months? (Don't quote me on that).
I was worried about my eldest (who isn't) and I found it was best to find games that aligned with those skills. Put toys up on the couch and encourage them to play with the toys. That will get them used to standing and moving the toys back and forth will get them to start letting go of things.
My December baby only really takes steps on her own when she's holding a toy and doesn't want to let it go. Otherwise she wants to hold my hand all the time!

Mine isn't standing independently either. He has only just started even trying to stand on his own, but can only manage around 5 seconds so far.

My baby walks with a walker but not on her own and can only stand by herself for a few seconds 🥺🩷

My son isn't walking either
Everyone on Instagram promoting sleep training either tends to charge for their course or says to ‘comment’ for their guide which in turn doesn’t really help much.
Anyone know of anyone actually giving advice on sleep training?

I’m trying to get my mind right, trying to find something to take my mind off this got feeling I’m having that something just isn’t right and when I have this feeling I’ve never been wrong. And I just want to not think about what it could possibly need cause I know once I find out it will not be pleasant. How do you shake your worries and this gut feeling?

My 2 year old keeps waking up at 5am and is cranky and tired enough that she wants to go back to sleep but needs lots of cuddles. But because by this point sleep pressure is low she’s takes over an hour to resettle and fall back to sleep. By this point my alarm is going off 6:15am for work 😖😩
She used to wake up nicely around 7am and we’d all be a lot calmer and have breakfast together but now I’m either letting her sleep in a bit so she’s not over tired and there’s always a big rush to get out the door.
Any tips?
She goes to bed at 8-8:30pm naps around 1pm for 1h-1h:30m

Hi moms!
How are your babies sleeping, especially those under 3 months?
My almost 8-week-old baby sleeps for hours in my arms, on my chest, or in the carrier, even while I’m moving around doing chores. But the moment I transfer him to his bassinet, he starts grunting, wiggling, and wakes up and starts crying.
I can spend up to 2 hours trying to get him to nap in his bassinet, and he still doesn’t fall asleep. By then, his next feeding is already coming up, and he hasn’t napped at all! 😩
At night, he sleeps much more peacefully when we bed-share. I’ve also noticed that he’s calm and quiet on my chest but much noisier and more restless in his bassinet.
I’d love to hear your real-life experiences!
What actually helped your baby sleep in their bassinet? Do you use a special swaddle, a particular type of bassinet, or any tricks to make the transfer easier?

Have you let your baby cry it out to get them to sleep through the night? Everyone has recommended it but I can’t bring myself to do it. The doctor said it’s the only way to have my baby sleep at night.
