Mine is 7 months today and he's mainly rolling loads. No signs of crawling and assisted sitting only. Dw about it. They develop at their own rate. I know a baby who could sit well at 10 months but minimal interest in rolling. Unless you feel like theres something concerning going on. Just let them get there in their own time x

There’s always a huge amount of pressure on us when it comes to hitting milestones as if it is some kind of baby race to toddlerhood. I felt this with my first and she was delayed due to hip problems from birth and she also had physio. I would honestly get so upset and stressed over it and I learned that it’s really not worth it. I look at her now and she’s 2 years old running around and you would never tell that she was delayed with her mobility. My 2nd is now 7 months old and is on track but I am not going to let myself worry or stress if she doesn’t do something as fast as other babies. It’s true that babies develop at their own pace and forcing sitting or tummy time can just upset them and make them not want to do it which will make them regress and this will cause more stress for you and baby. Just do tummy time and assisted sitting in short bursts throughout the day and if baby is not feeling it then you can try again tomorrow. Enjoy every moment as it goes by way too fast 🫶🏻

Advice please 🫠

Hey guys ,
To give a little context I have an 8 month old and live with my in laws . They are middle eastern while I am British . Every time I give my daughter a bath I wrap her in a hooded towel and then a fluffy blanket around the towel and bring her downstairs to lotion her and change her as I don’t want to in the bathroom floor as it’s tiled and not comfortable in general . Its to a point I just avoid giving her baths when my mother in law is in the house as she has a major issue with me bringing my daughter downstairs to change her and thinks I’m making her sick and she’s too cold and that it should be done in the bathroom . I try rush down before she sees 🙂‍↕️ She always comments and tuts and keeps muttering in her own language hurrying me to go down quickly and then gives out to my husband about it . I’m like so confused I’ve always grown up doing this in my family . I’ve researched and babies don’t get sick from being a little chilly which I don’t think she even is . They get sick from viruses . It just is so frustrating . I’d rather do our wind down routine in the bedroom on the comfy bed and I take my time with her and give her a breastfeed than do it quickly in the bathroom while she’s on a hard surface . Am I making sense or am I being cruel and I should change her upstairs ? This is genuinely a major issue since birth .

Advice please!

My MIL likes to FaceTime my 17 month old while she’s getting ready for the day and she’s been making a lot of comments about her own appearance like “maybe I need an eye lift look how saggy” and “I need spackle to cover these wrinkles.” I really don’t want my daughter growing up 1) paying attention to aging with concern and 2) learning to see bodily changes as negative and 3) having bad associations with self esteem and appearance.

Ultimately, my MIL like to complain around my daughter and talk about how hard life is but like get a therapist for that…

I should say something, but what?

Husband with postpartum depression

Any tips on how to offer support to my husband who I suspect has postpartum depression?
He’s been very low for months, snappy and short tempered and is really struggling to bond with our baby (8 months old).
Our baby is obsessed with me and basically rejects his dad if I am present, or cries for me as soon as he sees me even if he was happily playing with dad a minute earlier. The constant rejection is really getting my husband down and he even says he sometimes hates our son.

We need help but I don’t know how to help him… tips please?

He won’t go to the doctor about it.

Anxiety to go out with baby

Hi all,

I have not gone out with my baby by myself. I have with others but I just feel so anxious going by myself. I live in an apartment building with no lift so I also feel anxious about that. I want to be able to go into town by bus or walking with my baby and sit at a cafe etc but I feel I can't do it. I feel like such a bad mum.

I also get worried about my baby catching viruses etc. u know I can't continue like this. Has anyone else experienced this?

I feel if the apartment building had a lift I would feel better instead of having this extra thing to worry about.
