Not crawling or trying

Is anyone else’s nearly 10 month old showing no interest in crawling? My little girl only likes rolling back and forth (finally) and shows no interest to move in any other way…
Before anyone jumps on saying every child is different I am aware, I work in nurseries myself! But I’m at a loss on how else to encourage or try support it 🥲🙃🙄

Mine isn’t either! I wouldn’t worry too much.. enjoy it while it lasts 😅😂

Mine is crawling, but my friend had her little girl exactly a year before me. She wasn't crawling at this age, just rolling like yours. Started crawling just before she turned 1 and started walking almost immediately after!

Mine has recently started to army crawl. It’s so hard isn’t it because my first just went straight to crawling at about 8 months and was crushing along furniture at this age. Although I know all baby’s develop at different rates it’s hard not to compare and worry.

My LB just squirms on his front and then rolls to where he wants to be 😂 I'm out of ideas on how to help him learn to crawl, he just screams at me when I try 😅

Mine started crawling after spending a week with two other babies who were crawling all over the place

Mine isn’t crawling at all! She is a happy sitter but has absolute no interest in wanting to crawl!

Nobody warned me about this part of having two kids 😭

Not the no sleep. not the chaos. the part where your toddler keeps hurting the baby and you don't know what to say in that exact moment. I have tried everything. I sat with it alone for months. what finally changed it was nothing I had read anywhere 😭 anyone else been through this?

High chair recommendations

Any high chair recommendations? I was planning to buy “silver cross eat & play” Anyone used it? Also seeing so many good reviews about the Ikea one.

Too much milk?

My 3.5 month old daughter is draining an 8oz bottle (she's exclusively formula fed), but is sleeping a good 10 hours a night so missing a feed. Is this excessive? What are your similar aged babies feeding?
She is following her growth chart for weight perfectly, but the health visitor said we should have her on 6oz and wake her at night. She was on 7oz but crying because she was hungry so we went to 8oz a few days ago but she is still crying once the milk is finished.
Is it a problem to go up to 9oz if she's showing signs she wants more? I feel awful thinking she is still hungry

One year old with diarrhoea

Anyone know what could help with diarrhoea? It’s definitely diarrhoea bc the poor boy woke up through the night upset, so I popped him next to me to sleep and I literally heard him poop, I checked and obviously changed him. Last night I didn’t realise at it wasn’t a lot or smelly and he got really sore on his bottom and balls 😞

We have started fresh milk but I boil it for him, idk my mum says that’s better? But he still has formula here and there, I’m not sure what to do pls help a mama out. Thank you in advance 💕

Husband snoring with newborn in the room

My baby is 5 weeks old. My husband has been snoring recently, not loud and not all the time, but just randomly he'll start snoring and it's just loud enough to startle baby and fully wakes her sometimes. I keep gently rolling him back over to his side but even on his side he'll snore sometimes. It also keeps me awake as I'm a light sleeper and have major anxiety atm so struggling to sleep as it is..
Is there anything he can do to help the snoring?
There isn't anywhere else for him to sleep, we don't have a spare room and the couch isn't comfortable for sleeping either

Night light

Just wondering what other mums do at night with their little one 😊

I usually leave a dim light on while my baby sleeps, but I’m thinking of trying the room completely dark tonight until she wakes for a feed. Does anyone else do that with their baby? How did your little one sleep?
