Husband coming to baby sensory classes

My husband wants to experience things with our daughter and likes to learn how to play with her so always comes with me to our baby sensory classes. He’s always the only man and a few mums there seem out off that he attends with us. Would you be bothered if a man came to a baby class (not specified that it’s just for mums but just what’s normal)

I think it’s great he wants to attend! I think more men should! If people have an issue with it that’s just weird and their problem.

Honestly people will be outraged over the most ridiculous things 🥱

Not sure where you are or what classes. But i go to various baby classes at many libraries in the cities in this area and I see dads sometimes even with their babies and no mom. I also see grandmas who probably keep baby during the day. The class is mostly about baby and tips for caring and helping baby develop so not sure why anyone would be upset.

I get why some people may feel uncomfortable - you never know what other people's backgrounds are and theres so many factors that go into it. Having said that, I think its amazing that dad wants to go! Its good to see him being proactive. Dont let them put you off, just focus on your bubble. They'll have an amazing relationship because of it ❤️

I used to love seeing dads at groups! Also when grandparents would come along, that was lovely too x

My husband would always come along if he was around.

My husband took baby as it was his only day off x

My husband always took our daughter as well, I think it’s because not many men typically go x

I used to take ours to baby swim classes and was embarrassed that everybody else's partner came with them and mine didn't. After the first class, a few mother's didn't even get in the water and by the third none of them did, so it was just me and all the dads. I suspect it's worse for him than it is for them, so I wouldn't worry what they think. They're probably a bit envious that your husband is participating in that way. I know that's what I felt, and totally neglected by my own partner for not offering to come, even though logistically I didn't need him to

Unsure teething

My little boy had rosy red really warm cheeks, his chest is a little warm & head a little warm, I've done his temperature and it's completely normal it's 37.4 at the highest so not classed as a temperature as it's not over 38.
He's quite fussy and has had badly disturbed sleep the last 2 nights. He's 10.5 months old & has his top 4 top and bottom teeth so 8 in total. I'm unsure as to whether he is teething his molars already as I know it can happen around 10-11 months where he already has 8 teeth.
Does this sound like teething? He's still having his morning and night time bottle and his 3meals with snacks during the day.
I'm unsure as he never had any issues teething with the first 8 teeth he got, we didn't even know they had come through until we saw them!

Any advice is helpful!
Thank you! From a first time Mummy who's struggling a little! X

Stay at home mum after returning to work

I have returned from Mat leave since Feb and little man has just turned a Year old Monday. He has been ill since and very clingy to me. I only do 2 days a week and he’s with my MIL during that but I can’t help but feel like I now wanna be a stay at home mum. Someone tell me I’m not crazy for feeling this?😬

Baby led weaning

Anyone else started this? Started a week ago and my baby just does not want it! She’s desperate to eat what we have in front of her and reaches for our spoons and forks, but when it comes to trying foods I prepare for her like broccoli, sweet potato, baby porridge and avocado so far she just isn’t having it! She’s interested for 30 secs then pushes away.
I know its mostly for exploration at this stage, but should I be waiting a little longer if she’s really protesting it? She can sit unassisted and has stopped the tongue thrusting to is physically ready. Or do I keep going?

Juice and other drinks

My son has never had anything other than water or milk. He is now 2.5 and knows others drinks exist like juice, smoothies, milkshakes.

When did you start letting your little ones have other drinks?

I don’t want him to have juice all the time but I don’t want him to be deprived of it that he gets obsessed when he finally can make that decision.

Weaning

Hi all, my baby is almost 4 months old and I have seen lots of food pouches and baby rice in supermarkets which states 4m+

Has anyone actually given their baby any of these before the 6 month mark?? Thanks!
