Baby walker advice!

I know baby walkers are controversial so please only comment if it’s in response to helping and not criticising thank you -
My baby girl isn’t crawling, she sometimes army crawls but is a very happy sitter. Due to sensitive tummy she always hated tummy time and would get very upset so not sure if that impacted crawling. Anyways ! She is obsessed with walking with our support. However I just worry about her little arms being pulled up to do this. I purchased a baby walker (the ones they sit in, not push) but she HATES it! As soon as she realised it moved she completely freaked. Out of experience does anyone know if I should just avoid or whether trying a few more times is worth it? Thank you ! ❤️

my little girl was the same, she hated her walker at first and then once she realised she could get places and grab everything in sight and make a mess she loved it 🤣 i think it’s just a case of trying her in it until she gets used to it , my little girl is now pulling herself up on to furniture and walking along it and also crawling and i think the walker helped a lot , just making sure it’s at the right height so she isn’t on her tiptoes can help a lot xxx

I can’t help with the walker sorry as we didn’t use one but did use a bouncer which she liked, I would personally try a few more times if that had happened. Mainly wanted to ease your mind that the tummy time won’t have been a reason she isn’t crawling. My baby hated tummy time and we never did it and she was crawling early however only learnt to roll last week and she’s nearly walking. Another friends baby didnt crawl or walk until closer to two (it killed her back carrying him) he then pretty much went straight to running when he decided it was worth his effort. They all do things in their own time.

Why do people have such audacity?!

On vacation with my husband & our youngest baby (10 months). We’re walking down the street & this older lady sees my baby walking & asks how old she was & I answer. Then she says look at that hair & touches her head then immediately pats me on the back & says congratulations. While I’m sure there was good intent, why do random people feel entitled to touching a strangers baby?! It happened so quickly I didn’t even get a chance to react before realizing what had transpired. Would this peeve you?

Jabs

Hi!
My little boy had his first set of jabs and I was just wondering what everyone did medication wise - we did a dose of calpol straight after and I’ve been adding colostrum to his milk. I plan on doing a bath with a bit of breast milk in the morning too.
I know he’s only allowed 4 doses of calpol in a day but how long did you give calpol for? Just the day? Two days?
He’s been teary and fussy since (although he was pretty fussy anyway) how long did you find for your little one to be back to feeling themselves?

Car seats

First 24hrs of breast feeding

I will be going to the midwife today. Please can someone else describe their fist 24hrs breast feeding please so I can get a general idea or if it’s just the way I’m doing it what’s causing it to be soo painful.
Have been using stored colostrum overnight
