My baby is refusing to crawl and she is 9months old. She hates being on her stomach. She also isn’t pulling herself up. I know she has arm, ab and neck strength. I don’t know what’s going on. She just throws a absolute fit.

My son started army crawling at 10 months, then ‘properly’ crawling at 11 months. As well at pulling up to stand. It will come.

My daughter didn’t crawl. Neither did I

My oldest never crawled she began walking at 13 months old lol. The same kid who has rode roller coasters at 2 years old. & now does karate at 5 years old. 🤣

My baby is 10 months next week and no signs of crawling yet, she just rolls onto her back if she’s on her stomach

My daughter started crawling at 5 months and pulling up and walking around furniture at 7 months

She will crawl when she is ready to just keep encouraging tummy time. Our little boy crawled backwards from 6 months and crawled forwards when he was 8 months

My little one couldn't even roll over until after she learnt to crawl at 10 months. I was so worried about her not crawling but at the same time I was enjoying the calm before the storm 😂😂
She then started walking 2 weeks after she turned 1 so that was the very short "crawling" period, cause she used to practically just walk on her hands and feet, instead of crawl on her hands and knees 😂

I can't read @elzia's comment anymore as after messaging me she decided to block me

I used bright starts activity center… i think that helped her with leg muscles and standing. She tried to skip crawling and went to walking at 8.5/9 months.

Crawling isn’t a milestone
Pulling to stand: she will do it when she’s ready

Some babies walk before they crawl

My son slipped crawling and would scoot to the wall then shimmy up it and around 1 year just started walking.

My 9m old just started really rolling over. He’s been making me roll him for months even tho I know he was capable, he didn’t want to work for it. Still can’t traditionally crawl or pull up on his own but will army crawl and occasionally pull his knees up under him and will rock a bit and tries to climb everything.
My LO has been sleeping longer stints 3-4 hours rather than 2-3 hours these last 2 weeks but has been waking up for the day 3.30am-4.30am and will stay awake 2 hours before his first nap.i have tried feeding,changing him cuddling, ignoring him but he just wants to play. Please send advise. He goes to bed between 6pm-7.30pm

My little boy is 18 months old, I'm currently 7 weeks pregnant and having to use progesterone pessaries to help with my pregnancy. I've read it can lessen your milk supply and he only feeds during the night, his sleep has become progressively worse these last few nights, he's waking up almost every 40 mins at max 1hr and half crying and won't settle till he's with me and wants boob. The morning sickness is in full swing and I feel the very little sleep isn't helping. He's never slept through the night and has always had a few night wakes but they are getting worse.
Do you think it could be my milk supply? Has anyone else been through anything similar? Are there things you tried/done that's helped?
I've seen the bedtime creams all over tiktok, does it actually work?

I have the cosatto next to me crib. It states that the mattress is 78cm x 44cm but I'm struggling to find sheets to fit it.
Has anyone else got this and can recommend any sheets please? Thankyou 😊

Anyone else just stare at their toddler and cry because they love them so much? This is strange to me because I absolutely hated the new born and baby bit. I struggled to bond for the first year and felt like I’d ruined my life. Then bit by bit things got better. Now I could eat her I love her so much. I’m glad I’ve reached this point but now I’ve gone the other way and it consumes me with the love, the worry and devotion I have towards her.
If you’ve experienced this, when do you feel more balanced as a mother? I worry I never will.

I’ve just had the health visitor over for my 7 week old sons 6/8 week check and was wondering if this is ok or should I report this to save the next person who might not be as strong?
Baby boy was crying when she arrived and told me he sounds like he’s in pain, but had no suggestions on what to do and asked me if I still love him when he cries like that. She then asked me to list ‘3 reasons why i love my son’ and just sat staring at me until i answered - I was so on edge I couldn’t answer and she just raised her eyebrows at me and moved on. Asking me all extreme depression / mental health questions and going on and on and then watched over me why I filled in a depression chart.
Then told me I’m making bad habits by holding him when he sleeps, she’s the only midwife i’ve ever come across who has that option of a 7 week old baby? And then said if I continue to go to him when he cries he’ll learn that he can cry to get what he wants so told me to leave him to cry it out which goes against ALL advice online for this age?!
We are at our most vulnerable that we will probably ever be in our entire life postpartum. We will never forget the way people treat us. Postnatal depression is REAL. Imagine the next woman she says this too doesn’t cope with having those things said to her?
