Standing???

Anyone else’s 7 month old standing up and trying to take steps??? My son can fully stand without support and is now trying to take steps. I feel like it’s too early?…

Excuse the mess, I’m doing a late night deep clean and he’s doing the opposite of helping 😂

My baby turns 7months old tomorrow, and this week while playing on the floor, shes started crawling to the couch and pulls her self up to stand while using the couch for support. All babies are different, some start skills earlier than others.

That’s awesome! No, it’s not too early. Babies develop at their own pace 😊 And don’t apologize for cleaning. You’re a mom with what seems to be a very independent 7 month old. Haha. You’re doing great!

Wow my 7m old enjoys standing but hv to hold her. She’s not yet strong enough to stand by herself

I imagine this is the physical equivalent of my daughter already signing for milk and saying mama. You have a very mobile baby! Congrats (kinda lol I'm not ready)

omg same!!! i was wondering if she was the only one. she's hit all her milestones really early so it wasn't too shocking but wow !!

My son is 7 mo as well and ain’t even crawling yet💀

Yes! My 7 month old is independently standing and just started to take a step. He will go from crawling to standing all day. He’s also trying to climb up furniture. Lord help me lol I’m exhausted

Gripe Water

Has anyone else dealt with this? My 7-week-old struggles every night to pass gas, grunting and kicking for hours starting at 2:00 AM. It's making sleep impossible for both of us! Has anyone tried gripe water,or other remedies, and did you actually see results? Would love to hear what worked for you. We do have Infacol but cannot really see improvement.

Period return- combi-feeding

I’m 8.5 weeks pp and my period has just come back. I am combi-feeding (50% breastmilk and 50% formula). Does this timeline seem normal? I don’t know why I was expecting longer before it came back 😭

Own room

When did you move your baby into their own room. My LO is 5 and a half months old and I have a cold currently and I'm just constantly waking her up in the night . Is it okay to move her separately

Cold sore and baby is two weeks old

I have a tingling on my lip and I’m thinking it’s the start of a cold sore as has been the case in the past. Has anyone had this before?? How did you protect your baby from exposure? I don’t know how best to protect him. I’ve obviously stopped kissing him, but I was kissing him today before I felt this tingle. I’m worried about spreading this to him and exposure he may have already had. Is it overboard to contact the GP?

I’ll be getting patches tomorrow but want to make sure I’m doing everything I can, so if anyone has any suggestions thanks in advance!

I feel so guilty and awful that I may have exposed him. It’s second nature to kiss him now so I’m struggling a little and I’m worried I’ll slip up. I’m so angry I have to worry about this. Thanks to my grandma when I was young, I was exposed and now I have to deal with this. To those mummas saying no to people kissing their babies, keep saying no you’re doing what’s best for them!

Do breastfeeding women “smell”

So I’ve never breastfeed I don’t even know what it’s like.

My child was in formula since day one of birth…
A few of my relatives have said that women who breastfeed have a smell on them…
Is that like a milk smell that they have?

Baby Carriers

what baby carrier do you love that allows baby to face forward? Looking for something comfy for both me & baby, preferably something that’ll last us awhile! Would love to hear what you guys actually use and recommend
