Worried about late to crawling

My little girl has just turned 10 months old and still isn’t crawling. She sits up well and is strong when standing assisted.
We do tummy time and she pushes herself backwards and worms her bottom but she doesn’t go forward (been like this for 2 months now). She also doesn’t commando crawl and isn’t traditional crawling. And whilst can stand supported she isn’t interested in pulling herself up.
I am just wanting to see if anyone else is in the same boat as us? Please no commenting about how little ones have been crawling for ages - I already feel worried!

I've known super early crawlers/walker, and fairly late ones. And everything in between. There's 12 or 13 children in my little one's generation in my husband's family, plus lots of friends' little ones. Some started walking at 10mo, some sat around moving very little until they were 18mo.
But once they got to around 18m-2yo you literally couldn't tell the difference. They might get there at different rates but when they do, they all run and skip and jump and climb all the same 😊

Mine only started crawling at 10.5 months and I was in the same boat. He’s also not crawling properly (on all fours) but uses his left to push himself along. He was also able to stand well assisted. We actually booked a physio just to help and it was great if you are able to. I appreciate people saying not to worry is not what you want to hear but well worth physio if you can 😊

My girl isn’t crawling and isn’t showing any signs of wanting to. She just swivels on her belly, around and around 😂 I’m enjoying being able to leave the room and know she can’t go anywhere! Our babies will get there eventually, don’t worry!

I know babies who never crawled, some army crawled, some bum shuffled all before walking! Try not to worry, they all even out eventually 😊

Just turned 10 months old a few days ago and we are in the same boat! We aren't too worried. He can pull him self up with a bit of help but apart from that we are the same xx

Big bed

Did anyone put their little ones into a Montessori bed or toddler bed early? I’m due my second baby in September and I love our cot and would love to get more use out of it. But my daughter will only be 17 months when baby arrives.

I was thinking of using the cot for the baby/going in the babies room and then getting my girl a Montessori bed but before baby arrives to avoid too many transitions at once.

Wondered if anyone has done the same and it didn’t ruin their sleep ect?

What age did you stop breastfeeding?

So I love my breastfeeding journey and I’m not trying to stop anytime soon. My youngest just turned 1. Does anyone have any positive stories to share about their journey and how you dealt with things like biting, dips in supply, or self-weaning?

Help. It’s 10:21 pm and I want to give up. I don’t enjoy being a mom.

My 6 week old baby girl has been crying nonstop today, and nothing seems to soothe her. She’s been really gassy, and we think she might have reflux since she’s also been spitting up frequently. She only wants to stay on the breast as well . Shes been feeding for almost an hour, and every time I try to unlatch her, she starts crying again. Has anyone experienced this or know what might be going on? What can I do to help her ? Am I supposed to just let her suck on my breast for the whole night ? I love my baby so much but I’m so frustrated and wish my baby would stop crying.

Newborn car seat recommendations please

We have a 2 week old baby around 7 lbs7 and his current car seat (nuna pipa next) is not fit for purpose, it doesn’t recline and it forces him into a slumped position with chin thrust to his chest. I don’t feel comfortable taking him anywhere in the car. Please can you share your recommendations for a safe and comfortable car seat suitable for a newborn?
