Most guidance for waving and clapping is that it can start from 9 months to 12 months! So they're still very young and there's no need to be concerned

No clapping yet! Waving and pointing she just randomly started doing with honestly very little encouragement. They’re not huge developmental milestones so I wouldn’t worry for a while yet

Mines clapping constantly and kinda waving but only just learnt to roll the past few days back to front only. They are all so different

My girl is 9 months in a week and has just learned to clap and wave i wouldn't worry its still early yet, im sure she will get there. She's only just learnt to roll over, they all just learn in their own time.

Hi ladies,

Just wondering if anyone can make any recommendations on the best steriliser out there and a baby bouncer/highchair?
I’m looking for an combi bouncer/highchair if possible. ☺️

3/4 months changes

Hi writing this out of exhaustion. My baby’s long stretches have suddenly disappeared and baby waking more frequently at night and won’t settle unless on me belly to belly? It’s not a feeding thing as baby is waking shortly after his night feed unsettled. Baby also not gassy or got wind.

Is you baby talking yet?

By cooing I mean ah, eh, squeals etc no actual word sounds like ma/ da/ ga etc

Naps

Can I ask, whenever my mum texts in the morning to ask how our night was (due to baby not sleeping longer than 1/2 hours before crying, she’s 8 months)
I tell her it was rubbish again blah blah
My mum seems to think my problem is having a nap schedule - by that all I do is follow her cues and by the 3/4hour wake window mark she’s ratty and wants a nap so I let her??? Isn’t that the normal thing to do??
She seems to be so confused by this and says she’s never heard anything like it 😂 she’s mid 40’s and had her last baby 12 years ago so I guess things change but I’m just checking this is normal following wake windows and napping 😂

Baby has 3 naps a day purely bcos we are up at 3/4 am most mornings as she won’t sleep. On good nights which are rare she will get up 6ish after I mange to settle her in my bed then she will have only 2 naps with a bed time between 6-7

Don’t even know if this makes sense but need to just get it off my chest

Car seat

Can anyone help my 5 month old still has her newborn insert in her car seat we have silver cross cove. She is clearly too big for it but if I take it out her head hangs down. She has good neck control so can lift it if she wants to but doesn't and sometimes we do hour long journeys. Everytime I've tried without ive ended up pulling over and putting the insert back in. Her head hangs as she's teething to trying to get to the straps to put in her mouth. If I gave her a teething toy she would just drop it and cry. TYIA

baby nursery updates

hey guys, my LO is 10.5mo and it’s her second day at nursery today. her nursery has a live update app however they have not posted a single thing today. I rang at half 2 to check how she was because I am that anxious mum and she was fine. but is this normal? shouldn’t they be putting on regular updates? going to speak to them when I pick her up just not sure how to say it
