10 months and not crawling - HV not concerned yet

Has anyone had any helpful input from a GP/ health or a GP/Pediatrician regarding this if that's the case for your little one? HV didn't seem concerned yet but he really isn't even holding the position when I help him to his knees. He does seem to have enough strength in his arms but it's like he pins his hips to the floor as soon as he's on his tummy. He also doesn't shoot from lying to sitting and doesn't really pull to stand yet on his own. He does want to be constantly in a standing position with me holding him up to balance.

I'm just really concerned as his brother crawled at 7mo and I can't help it. I know some kids skip it etc. But I'm just so worried. My back is also killing me which doesn't help. And when I try ping tummy time to force him to move he just screams!

Laundry

Hey there!
What do you guys use to get those yellow poop stains off clothes? I’ve been trying a bit of everything but nothing seems to work well for me
Thank you!

Tell me...

I need to know all the secrets Mama especially those mamas who are over the age of 35. During postpartum did you have a problem with shedding like your hair constantly falling out or thinning? No matter what I do or take or anything my hair will not go back to being full again. I haven't had full hair since my second oldest daughter was born. I'm on birth control. I take prenatals I use anti thinning hair care system. I'm doing it all. I'm getting stressed out because this is crap. What are your go-to secrets now? I'm going to say this as a n FYI I have psoriasis on my scalp due to allergies so I need sensitive friendly

Crying on wake ups

My son is one year now & the last couple nights he wakes up crying or winging slightly but it doesn’t even last a minute and he’s straight back to sleep… then happy as anything when he wakes up… any ideas what this could be. He had his jabs on Friday but thankfully they went really well and hasn’t had signs apart from a temp on the Saturday. He’s done this once before too but it went away so I’m unsure as to what this could be

He doesn’t have milk through the night and very rarely poo’s through the night too.

Thanks!

Good baby

I just wanna see if there’s any mums who are actually having a good time with happy
Babies that sleep well. Eat well. Play well ?
I feel like I’m shamed in mum groups when I don’t share the same problems. I know we’re lucky. And we take each day as it comes. There’s been ups and downs but she is a happy baby who isn’t much trouble. But I’ll scared to say the truth in mum groups because they all look so judgey and cross that she’s just an easier baby than my friends. I don’t take it for granted. Like I said we take each day as it comes knowing our luck could run out but I’m tired of being shamed for it. I have a good baby. She sleeps 12 hrs at night without waking. She eats well. She’s so bright and meeting milestones early. She naps in the day and rarely scream cries.
Don’t get me wrong. The first few weeks were rough but I just wanna be able to share that she’s good I’m good and not feel shamed to share it.

Baby won't be put down - any tips?

My baby will be 4 weeks old tomorrow and she won't sleep unless she's being held. My husband has been letting her sleep on him until about 12/1am and then I take her and between feeds we cosleep with her safely in our bed. But for the last few nights she isn't happy cosleeping either and only wants to held so none of us are sleeping. My husbands back at work now and I've got a toddler to look after too so we're just exhausted. How do people get their babies to sleep in their moses basket? Or even any tips for cosleeping again? I'm just so shattered and what we're currently doing just isn't sustainable 😩

Rapid cool

Can you use the rapid cool with the hot shot method?
New to all this… can you put a hot shot into the baby bottle, add the formula and then use the rapid cool with the remaining water? Or will it still make the bottle too hot as it’s got the hot shot in?
