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!

Not much help, my daughter is the same, but also not standing supported. Health visitor wasn’t very helpful when I raised my concerns at her check up just said her hips are fine she’ll be fine, and speak to them when she reaches a year old if still not doing any of these things.

My little boy is exactly the same. We haven’t had our 9-12 month health visitor check yet so can’t comment on that part. He wants me to support him standing all the time and gets frustrated on his tummy. He kind of does the worm backwards and then gets annoyed. I am thinking he will go straight to walking.

No advice sorry but my baby is 9.5months old and the exact same! Shes getting very frustrated with it too, its hard work

Same for my son at 9.5 months. He can lean on his legs for ages, bum scoot a little but shows no interest in getting closer to crawling. We think he’ll go straight to walking too.

My little one has just turned 10 months and is exactly the same as your description (not able to stay on her knees, pins hips to floor, can’t go from laying to sitting independently, doesn’t stand independently or pull to stand, hates tummy time…) Also have a broken back because she’s a heavy girl for her age and wants to be carried everywhere 😂

My little girl was like this a week ago and it just clicked, I was like you worried but babies do things when they are ready, we found crawling around to demonstrate, putting a favourite toy a little away and supporting her. He will get there 🤍

Crazy hair tips

My little boy (white/black Caribbean) has almost two hair textures, he has quite loose soft curls at the front but then an almost Afro texture in the back which goes wild. I use the only curls products for kids (shampoo, conditioner, detangle spray and styler) but after he sleeps it just goes crazy. It’s super knotty at the back so he doesn’t tolerate any brushing/combing - I only just manage with a fight when it’s wet.

Any tips on handling the back section? Heavy products don’t seem to work well given how soft it is in the front.

Baby doll

Anyone get their son a baby doll? Did they love it?
Thinking of getting mine one for christmas as he's gravitated towards one a couple of times at a toddler group. For context my son will be 18 months, nearly 19 months at Christmas.

Refusing nap at age2 help!

My little one is 2y 2m old. She has just all of a sudden stopped napping. Nursery told me they spend half hour with her and she won't sleep and same at home. I'm really worried nursery will stop trying. But she just will not settle down at all all of a sudden. Help please. It's way too early for her to drop the nap!

CMPA? (Photo)

My baby is really congested overnight. She’s always congested - but particularly more snorty after a bottle of Kendamil. She’s primarily breast fed with one bottle of formula a day in the afternoon. Her poops are also explosive and look like this. Does this look like CMPA, so sorry for the photo! Two first poops from two different mornings. Will add the second to the comments.

Travelling with a 1 year old

Can I put a car seat in the front passenger seat for travelling with my baby?! He hates the car and just cries if he’s in the back by himself. I have family 4 hours drive away and I have to do the travel alone most of the time. It’s so stressful and exhausting trying to entertain him and I can’t just let him cry. How do you travel with a baby who hates the car? 😩

14 w/o slept for 15 hrs?

She’s 14 weeks. Yesterday we decided to try putting her to bed at 8pm (she usually just comes with us at around 10/11). So we bathed, boobed and transferred to bed by 8. We kept the room dark and she slept there for an hour before waking up. I then took her back with me but she continued sleeping until 11. Woke up at 11, had her nappy changed. All happy as can be. Then slept until 3. Breastfed. Nappy changed at 5. Breastfed. Slept until 7, breastfed. Still asleep now at 11am?

Is this normal? She’s still having wet nappies, feeding, etc. should I wake her? She started trying to roll to her front yesterday, so idk if she’s just tired from the workout 😅
