Are you comparing your babies to other people?

I'm seeing so many polls re baby milestones and I'm curious to know why are we comparing everything in our lives (including our babies) to others. Does it matter if your baby is not sitting yet while other babies are crawling already? Will it matter in 5 years time? Nope, eventually they will all learn the same skills.

When is too early for my ex partner to have my daughter overnight

Me and my ex broke up three weeks ago and he’s already asking to have her overnight. She is 8 months formula fed and semi co-sleeping

Since birth she has been very much dependent on me and breast fed for the first 3 months
Any advice?

Ms. Rachel / Screentime

Moms, be honest has Ms. Rachel actually helped your baby?
Did you notice new words, signs, better communication, or anything else you could directly attribute to her? Or is she just a lifesaver when you need 20 minutes to get something done? 😂
I'd love to hear real experiences and how old your little one was when they started watching. 🤍

Witching hour

No point to this post but I'm certain babies can either tell the time or they're psychic...

5.15pm on the dot every night the screaming starts and it's pretty much constant until 11pm.

I can't wait for the next couple weeks to be over for it to end 😂😂

Whinging

I feel guilty for asking this but is anyone’s 4/5 month old just constantly unsettled? Don’t get me wrong, we will have periods of the day where he is happy, giggling and playing but he gets bored so quick and is so hard to settle once he starts crying. He does like a whinge all the time, not fully crying but just moaning. Feel like pulling my hair out at the minute, it’s so over stimulating xx

Baby sleep/napping

Our 5 week olds sleeping just weird. When she wakes up in the morning she will be awake for hours (7am-11isham) and then sleep for about 2 hours, feed, then go straight back to sleep for another 2 hours. Then once she’s up early evening, she literally stays awake for hours. As I’m writing this she’s been awake from about 4.15pm and it’s now 9.20pm and is wide awake. Our first slept a lot more than this and had the shorter wake windows you would expect.

Is anyone else experiencing something similar? It’s very strange
