Baby not walking yet!

Anyone else’s baby has no interest in walking? My baby can walk with one hand assistance, pulls to stand, squats for objects, cruises, crawls everywhere but he doesn’t want to even attempt to walk.

I try and get him to but he instantly flops to the ground and goes back to crawling.

I will just add that I am not concerned about this but looking for helpful tips or advice.

Thanks girlies xx

Yep. My son can take 2 to 5 unaided steps but has no interest in doing any more than that. He can walk aided but prefers crawling.

My daughter is now 3.5 and could walk unaided from 13 months however didnt want to. She didnt start walking unaided until 17.5 months.

Yes same, my daughter can walk holding one hand cruises quite fast along furniture and will stand alone for a brief minute before realising then drops to her bottom. I think it seems like more nervousness as she just cries and immediately falls to the floor if I try to let go of her hand. She’s 14 months. My son walked at 15 months so I’ve been naturally comparing, but I’m sure she will get there in her own time! I think they give up to 20 months for walking so I’m not too worried at the moment.

When is it weird?

I've seen a handful of posts talking about nudity in the house around young kids and I feel like it's agreed that it's normal for there to be a naked mom or to see mom naked, but my question is if it applies to dad? Is mom allowed to be naked (not in a creepy way obvi) but Dad has to be covered all the time? Is it okay if Dad is seen naked getting out of the shower/getting dressed?? Is it okay if he's boxers only in the house? And bath time, can they take a bath/shower with Dad while they're still little (like 6 or younger). Does it change if it's a son or daughter? If theres an age where it changes what is it?
**not including any weird or over sexualized behavior or motives because that's a separate topic and obviously those cases aren't ever okay**

People not understanding baby/toddler is leading to meltdowns.

My 13 month old is very chatty and has about 20 words. He has about 5-6 very clear words and the rest are unclear, for example eeee for tree or hop for help.

He gets incredibly frustrated when left with other family members as they cannot understand what he is saying (not at nursery). This often leads to throwing himself on the floor, throwing objects or getting upset. Often this happens because he is asking for something, like help or certain thing and the other person doesn’t understand.

Does anyone have this problem? Or a similar problem.

How long after did you have sex? Just wondering

Feeding

How many ounces is everyone’s baby on?
My 1 month old is on 4 and seems to still be hungry after bottles, but looking at the recommended dosage on the back of the tin of milk 5 ounces is usually for a 3 month old!

Daughter showing signs she wants a pillow

When did you all introduce pillows to your little ones? My daughter is turning one next week. During her naps and sometimes when we cosleep, she seems to seek out something to use as a pillow. Is she still too young to introduce one?

Weaning off formula

Hey ladies, how did you wean your baby off formula and how quickly do I need to do this? My baby just turned 1 year old. She's still on between 300 - 500mls of formula per day. We are trying to limit formula during the day but she's waking up hungry overnight. I feed her 3 main meals and I'm trying to bulk up the snacks as well. She refuses toddler formula, cows milk or any combo, so it's still infant formula. She's also been sick so we are hesitant to change too much right now. Any advice on this would be appreciated 🙏
