Mine's army crawling, but I think proper crawling generally happens around the 9 month mark so don't worry too much. You're little one is still within a normal range of not crawling🥰

Mine is also army crawling but not fully on hands and knees yet. I think it’s okay, some babies I’ve heard don’t even crawl and just go straight to walking! 😂

Mine isn't. He gets to his tummy and instantly complains. He has more interest in standing

No mine isn't crawling yet he just bends himself in half to reach things hopefully he will get there soon 🤣

Nope just pivoting on her belly

Mine hates tummy time, rolls front to back once every few weeks and no interest in rolling or crawling, lazy moo!!🤣

Hairbrush help please

Hey ladies.

My birthday is coming up and I need a new hairbrush because my toddler has hidden mine.

I want a square paddle brush, soft but not so soft the bristles don’t go through the hair.

Recommendations, please! I googled it but it was recommending hairbrushes that cost ridiculous amounts (£hundreds) I’m looking for something that’s a bit more sensible price wise…

And something pretty is a bonus :)

Night feeds.

How often is your baby waking to breastfeed at night?

So my girlie is 3 weeks tomorrow.
Last night she had a feed at 20:00 in bed then put her in her Moses basket and she woke every 2 hours for a feed and nappy change.
Does this sound normal for this age?

She’s on the boob for like 15 mins then 15 mins upright winding her as otherwise she sicks it all back up .. so all in all I get about 1/1.5 hours sleep in between 🙈

Thanks xx

🇬🇧 what would held you breast feed? 🇬🇧

I read this and it made me a little sad. What would help you breast feed?

However, breastfeeding rates in the UK are poor. In 2010, 69% of UK mothers exclusively breastfed at birth.4 This dropped to 49% at 1 week, and 23% by 6 weeks. At 6 months, exclusive breastfeeding had decreased to 1%.

Second Hand Baby Bottles?

Am I okay to use second hand baby bottles? I'm trying to introduce a bottle to my breastfed baby but so far we've had no luck. I don't want to go out and buy all the different bottles only for her to then refuse them all?

Would I be okay using second hand bottles to find one she likes and then buying new? I've been told mixed things but would just be trying her with the teats to find one she may actually take?
