breastfeeding and milestones

Is it wrong to think babies hit their milestones on time/early because of breast milk? I know all babies develop differently but I can’t help but feel like breastfeeding is a large factor…


This may be a hot topic but my baby is exclusively breastfed and unvaccinated. She is unbelievably healthy and hitting every milestone some even months before.

I’m mostly baffled that her doctor said not to expect crawling until 9 months and she is crawling and attempting to stand just shortly after her 6 month checkup

I don’t know if breast milk makes a difference….. my first baby was formula fed and hit all the milestones and with my second she is only breastfed and hasn’t hit everything…… so I don’t think that’s a true factor that really affects it tbh

Why my baby can’t chill 😂

My baby started to crawl and now I can’t leave her unsupervised for not even 10 seconds is exhausting. How did you cope with it? I’m dreading to think how she is gonna be when she starts walking lol

When you moved out and started your own family did you realise how toxic your own family was?

A rant because I probs need a therapist lol. I went away with my parents at the weekend with my kids and it gave me so much stress. They argue over everything, my mum rolls her eyes and doesn’t engage in any conversation with my dad. I was telling my pre schooler off for being dangerous and they started telling me off infront of her. My daughter cried because I didn’t do her hair a certain way and my mum infront of her said it’s heartbreaking to watch. Completely undermined me🤦🏼‍♀️

I’ve realised how nasty my mum can be and make comments about other people. My friend was walking through a car park the other day when I was waiting and she said ‘she needs a better bra’ I said that’s my friend that’s rude. She then got angry at me for calling her out.

As a kid they would constantly threaten divorce and bring us kids into their arguments. Now me and my brothers are total hot heads and we all seem so angry all the time😂

I’m so OVER it. I don’t have many other family so it’s very confusing on my brain.

Baby carrier

Recommendations for a baby carrier? I’ve tried a fair few with my previous babies but never really found them comfortable! I’m due in 6 weeks time, looking for something to make school runs with 4 little ones a little easier 🫣🤣
