Development

Hey Girlies!
I’m a nursery practitioner and I said this to parents ALL the time. “ they will get there in their own time”, don’t compare them to others etc etc etc… but now being a mum.. I’m my own worst enemy. I constantly compare my little guy to others younger than him.

My Jack is not yet crawling- he gets to where he wants to go by rolling or one arm commando crawl. But at nearly 11 months I thought he would have reached this milestone.

When stood up holding on to me, he doesn’t move his legs to ‘walk’ he will bounce.

He is not pulling himself up on to furniture. When he tried to pull up on my I give a little had by placing my hand under his arm pit so he has something else to help him up.

Should I worried? Am I over thinking? Xx

My little boy is 11 months on Tuesday and only started crawling this week. He doesn’t try to walk but he will try and pull himself up.

It’s true what you tell other parents, Jack will get there in his own time

He is soooo close to crawling. He gets into position and I can see his wee mind being like “ nah, I’ll roll” 🤣 he’s 11 months on Tuesday too! 🩵💚 x

My little boy didn’t walk until he was 16.5 months! He didn’t pull himself up or even stay standing after helping him up until not long before that. Nothing was ever wrong, he was just really taking his time😂 Loads of babies skip crawling and go straight to walking too x

My 11 month old also isn't crawling yet! She can get onto her hands and knees but then she just flops her knees back down 😅

Crawling isn’t a milestone

Sitting and Walking are

Don’t stress it

He may never crawl! Some babies just skip it. My son didn't show any interest in moving his kegs when standing and stood up for over a month before we he moved his legs while holding a walker or our hand (this week) he's 1 in a few days. He will get there, contact a HV if you have any concerns with him not using any limbs or favouring a side and the will probably refer to physio for an assessment to be safe x

Do you and when did you start turning on ms.rachel for your little ones? My baby is 10 months and I don't turn on any screens for her but I have heard that people start early to help with speech development. Obviously in moderation. Any thoughts

Nursery

Hi, I am going to be a first time mum in December, at the moment we have a double bed in the spare room (which is going to be the nursery) my initial plan was to sell the bed, do people think this is a good idea.
Or during the night do you think it’s good to have in case baby won’t settle, and I can sleep in the spare room with him.
Preferably I would want to sleep in the same bed as my partner so hopefully won’t need it.
I just wondered what other people did?

Contact naps

LO is 9wo and only naps during day if they're contact naps but even now I think she's getting frustrated with the lack of space to move. Anyway, I'm happy to have contact naps but some days it'd be nice to have a break. And nope,she won't use a carrier, I've tried 8 and traditional tie methods, bouncers, nest pods etc. My question is can anyone shed light at the end of the tunnel? Did you have similar experience and how old was baby when the contact naps stopped?

Nursery bugs/loose bowels

Hi all my daughter started nursery 2 weeks ago on her third day at nursery she started with diarrhoea a few times a day leaking though her clothes then by Tuesday she started to go off her food and milk and had a slight temp so I took her to doctors, who said she just had a viral infection or something. Then by Wednesday/Thursday she started eating more food and milk food was getting a bit more firm and no temp then nursery rang Friday and said to get her because she had like 3 loose bowel movements and she’s really sore now and even today she’s still having loose poos I also noticed it’s a bit snotty/mucus and also smells like fish.

Had anyone had the same with there littles ones and what was it? I know babies pick stuff up at nursery but this has been going on over a week now but she’s just grumpy pretty much all the time and she’s normally really happy.
