Could you name a milestone your child/baby met; that had brought you to tears ?

I tried to feed my baby his bottle.. he was quickly annoyed with me holding it. Loll it was so cute how bothered he was. (( Ofc since he is my precious baby. ))I let the bottle go & He then began to hold it himself ! 😍😍😍 I am so proud of all the milestones he is hitting. It brings me tears of gratitude. 💓💓. Seeing his face, light up. He is why I get up everyday & do what I do. I love you Avery Wavery ❤️❤️❤️.

When my son could hold my hand and not just my finger I sobbed 😭😭😭

When my kid said bubbles instead of duddles

For me it's always when they start pulling their hand out of mine to run instead of looking for my hand to hold 😭😭😭
He's precious 🥹

With my first i cried when he took a step. I also cried on his first day of school and when he made his first friend and she came for a playdate (he is suspected ASD and has trouble interacting with other kids so it was huge for us)

My 4 year old walked to her class from the school gate. I would normally walk to the class with her but the school are trying to encourage reception children to do this so that when they start year one they would be able to walk to class themselves and be abit more Independent.
On Monday she was hesitant and didn't want to do it but from Tuesday to Friday she was walking to her class all on her own. She looked so grown up doing it 🤧 😭 and I just had flash backs of when she was born. It just made me realise that my baby wasn't a baby anymore.

I cried when mine went to daycare but not when he went to kindergarten. My first thought at that point was "yay its not 1k a mo anymore" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Potty training. He got a cake with the emoji shape 💩

Also when he memorised his first song. It was the sweetest thing to hear him sing.

The first time my son started singing to us during bedtime. We have a few songs we do and when he was going down he started singing Down By The Bay and I was just bawling because he wanted to sing us to bed 🥹

I’m not very happy with the nursery.

My baby is 11 months old and has just started settling-in sessions this week. Some sessions have gone okay—she even managed to nap—but others have been much worse, with her crying for up to an hour.

The last session (4 hours) is what made me feel most uncomfortable about the nursery.

1. The staff seem extremely strict, and the way they speak to parents can feel quite harsh.
2. My baby drinks pumped breast milk. The staff said I could bring breast milk but didn’t clearly explain in what form. Apparently, they only accept it in pouches and not in bottles. When I brought it in a bottle, they spoke to me harshly and said they “don’t know what I’ve put in it,” which felt unfair—it’s the same milk whether it’s in a bottle or pouch. It came across as if they were accusing me of tampering with it.
3. If I forget something or do something wrong (like the milk issue), they overreact and speak in a very telling, almost mean way.
4. They don’t provide regular updates on the family app, so I have to contact them myself to find out how my child is doing. Sometimes they do and sometimes they’re don’t. The communication is not clear and they simply tell me off that it’s written in the policy, I mean they can remind me. The woke with parents on the daily basis and I was expecting them to be more understanding.
5. During the last session, I brought breast milk in a bottle and was told off. I even offered to go home and bring it in a pouch, but they said no. Four hours later, they asked me to pick her up because she couldn’t sleep—and they hadn’t given her any milk because it was in a bottle. They also said she didn’t want to eat the food provided (pizza and oat milk). When I got home, she was clearly starving and drank two bottles of milk. I’m upset that they didn’t offer alternatives like toast or fruit or ask me what she might eat.
6. The staff wear strong perfume, and my child comes home smelling of it, which bothers me.
7. The nursery is nut-free because one staff member has an allergy. I try my best to avoid nuts, but if I accidentally include something, they say they will call me to pick my child up because they cannot care for her. I find this difficult as I am working and paying for childcare?
Is this a regular thing with nurseries? Would it be unreasonable to ask them not to wear perfume when carrying for my child as she has eczema and it’s unpleasant to have her face smelling of perfume? Anyone else had problems like this?

Is this a normal thing?

I gave birth yesterday and had a second degree tear pretty much in a straight line downwards but not too close to my butt hole.
The midwife however had to put her finger up my butt twice when stitching me back together. It was traumatising on top of literally giving birth minutes beforehand 😭 Has anyone else had this happen?? She only explained the second time that she was checking she hadn't stitch into my anus which is OK but I'd rather have been told beforehand, also I don't understand why she'd need to check when she had just explained to me (and the student midwife) that the tear didn't go to the anus. Is this a normal check that they do?

I had a 2nd degree tear with my first baby but I'd had an epidural and was completely out of my face on other medications, mixed with just a terrible birth experience I didn't even take in when the doctor sewed me up, but they never mentioned abing yo put their fingers up there 😬

Tumble drying baby clothes

I have a tonne of new baby clothes I have to wash. I keep seeing everyone using the washing line to dry. Can I tumble dry baby clothes ?

Send help asap

My 3 month old has officially started cat napping and wakes up every 30 minutes! I feel like a zombie 😩

Am I wrong for feeling upset that someone i m dating and call my boyfriend didnt react at all to when my child fell down the stairs? Didnt even ask her if she was ok.

If I am wrong please explain why in the comments

Baby Monitor Recommendations?

Hey Mammas!
Looking into a baby monitor that isn’t easy for someone to hack into (my sister had someone hack into the WiFi on theirs and take a screen shot of their babies sleeping 😳). I would also like to be able to see my baby from work and talk to her.
Any suggestions? TIA!
