Standing

My 8 month old can get anywhere he wants by rolling and spinning and doing the backwards work crawl he’s learnt so doesn’t seem bothered about standing yet but went to a baby class yesterday and a few 6 month olds were standing (with support) I’m just interested to see if anyone else same as mine

Mine is pretty the same, 8 month old, roles and wiggles but doesn’t crawl properly or even stand , my friends son who is 8 month is almost even walking with support .. been wondering if I am not doing something right but I just tell my self all kids are different, he doesn’t even have one single tooth yet. So 🤷🏾‍♀️

I think it is just that they are all so different! To be honest even with rolling mine never bothered then one day set off both ways and going in circles 😂🙈 I feel like as soon as I start to wonder if he’s doing okay he will suddenly start the next milestone. Wow almost walking! It’s crazy how much they all differ from one another ☺️

Mine is standing but she takes soo long to learn new things. She can stand and pull to stand but can’t get herself down yet or even stabilise herself with her feet so we have lots of falls 🤣 I do find it the same though usually when I start to worry she does it within a week like she senses it haha

Aw bless her sounds like you’re having fun watching her learn

I’m so glad it’s not just me!

5am day starts

My 7 week old seems to wake for the day from 5am unless i put him in the sling he will then go sleep.

Will this eventually change and settle into a normal time if maybe 6/7am?

I have a 2yr old as well so praying this will change because my days are becoming sooo long. My toddler happily sleeps till 7/8am usually 😴

Am I crazy?

We sent a list of boundaries & expectations (rules lmao) to my in-laws before the baby comes. The last one was if the baby is fussy or needs to be changed or fed, then hand them to me, De Mama. My MIL said it was “odd” that we would ask for the baby to come to me and not her son, and then she asked why me. My husband told her because I’ll be around the baby the most and it makes the most sense. I said because I’ve held that baby for 10 months and I want them. I know it’s none of her business WHY we implement rules for our home and I know I shouldn’t care because it’s MY home and MY baby but help an anxious, 32-days-left girly out. Am I nuts? Is this an unreasonable rule?

Does anyone regret having more children at 40 or above

Just had 4 th baby at 40 . We have 7 kids between my partner and I. But I'd love to have a little girl. My joints are so sore this time round from being pregnant. Just don't know how my body would cope.. we would have to start soon though as the clock is ticking.. we lost a few before our little man came along.. what would you do

Colic

Reccos for breastfeeding tops / bras

Hi all, slowly getting my head round what works to breastfeed in public but would love some more help

Looking for supportive tops with in built bra support for slightly larger ladies (DD+) that you can wear without a breastfeeding bra and just yoik it up!

Also looking for a good strapless bra you can feed in by easily pulling down? And along with that any good feeding bras in general!

And any reccos for how to feed in a dress discretely! Thanks so much

4 month sleep regression

Baby is approaching 20 weeks now. We’ve been in the sleep regression stage for 4 WEEKS😭😭 it’s not getting any better. I’m running on empty I’m exhausted and upset all of the time. I feel like everyone else suffers for a week or two and I’m 4 weeks in what can I do? So many false starts, sleeping no longer than 2 hour stretches and she used to do 8-9. So so hard to settle even when fed I’m at my wits end😥
