Crawling

My little one was 5 months last week (31st Oct baby) and in the last 2 weeks has mastered sitting up and has started army crawling and pushing up on her hands and knees! Is this normal or do I just have a freak baby🤣 my first did not do any of this this early! Totally new territory - i thought I had longer than this before I needed to start proofing the house. Kid can’t even eat yet but she can move 🥴

Weaning poos

Is it normal for a baby to constantly poo when they start weaning? My daughter is pooing so much since we started weaning last week, as in every nappy has some amount of poo in it. Just want to make sure this is normal before contacting doctors etc

Breastfeeding

I’m finding my 2 week old will feed on the breast for 5-10 minutes and then pull off? She’s putting on weight and otherwise healthy but it worries that it’s such short amount of time and then she’ll sleep for few hours.

Has anyone else found this?

Thanks!

Bottle washers

Should I invest in a bottle washer? We do not have a dishwasher. I am looking between the Mum cozy and the baby breeza (I’m from Australia, options are limited) thoughts?

Bedtime help

My LO is 11 weeks old and she is so hard to get to sleep at night time. We don’t follow a set routine and follow her cues. She will contact nap throughout the day but naps are pretty inconsistent and if I try to transfer her she will wake up and cry straight away.

At night time she is so tired and fighting sleep so hard, we will give her a bottle or boob and she will be fast asleep but the second we put her in the cot she is wide awake and crying hysterically, but she will fall back asleep on me or her dad. Once she has been asleep on one of us for an hour to 2 hours we can then put her in her cot and she will sleep thought the night.

Any advice to get her sleep in her cot with out 1/2 contact sleep on a night time?

Bed sharing

Has anyone tried putting their 7.5 month baby in between you and your partner?
I’m nervous. Usually my husband sleeps downstairs. But when he sleeps upstairs with us I put our baby end of the bed and curl up c shaped etc.. but I worry she’ll roll if the bed. I do wake up at any move she does and it’s so hard I can’t sleep. Usually she’s in the middle of the bed and I’m on the side and we both sleep good.
