Walking

My 16 month old has just started confidently walking recently and I’ve noticed that he walks on the insides of his feet but on his right foot it’s much more noticeable like his ankle rolls in more.

Is that just normal when little ones first start walking and as they get more confident they flatten out their foot more or should I take him to see someone about about it?

Split nights

I’m literally at breaking point I don’t know what else to do. My 13 month old has never been a good sleeper. But for the last 4 weeks has been up for 2 hours in the middle of the night with a couple more wakes before that. We’ve sleep trained him to fall asleep on his own, we’ve capped his naps, extended/lowered his wake windows and I don’t know what else we can try. I understand they go through regressions/split nights but surely 4 weeks is not it. I’m sat in bed crying, absolutely exhausted and feel like the worst mum in the world as he needs his sleep. I just wanted to know if anyone else has been through the same or has any advice?

Doing it wrong 😴🤣

I just realised I’ve been using the Milton tablets wrong after seeing another post 🤣 I’ve been soaking the mam bottles and parts in soapy water before a wash and rinsing then soaking it in the Milton water solution. I’d then rinse once more then put them in the microwave to sterilise. Hadn’t realised the tablet is a steriliser all these months 🤣 My LO is 8 months now 🤣

Signed a clearly exhausted, lost a few brain cells mum 🤣🤣

First little ponytails

I had to.... they wasn't too tight and litrally in for like 2 minutes. But I cant wait to be able to this properly with her when shes older.

Husband concerned with co sleeping

Been co sleeping with our daughter for a good few months now. My husband recently shared that he’s not comfortable with it as accidents can happen. He’s afraid we’ll roll over on her or she’ll get stuck under a blanket or pillow.
My husband and I are both bigger people, with me being 5’8 and him 5’11.
I understand his fear because accidents do happen, but I don’t see what’s wrong with co sleeping.
If we can find a safe compromise for her to co sleep with us.
I’m able to get my baby to sleep in her crib, which is bedside, for around 2 hours before she wakes up looking for me.
I’m just feeling a bit stuck.

Cows milk

I want to have a few drinks with my sister next wknd however I dont have any breast milk left stored. Bub is 12 months 7/7 so this will be less than 2 weeks before her birthday can I give her a cows milk bottle if needed or should I wait till 12 months?

Hate breastfeeding?

Hi, I'm 21y single mom 2 months pp and currently having a hard time nursing my LO.

Not because he can't latch, low milk supply, nor inverted nips. I just don't like the feeling of it. He latches perfectly and I am an enougher but I get the DMER everytime i feel the first let down.

Am I a bad mom if I want him to switch to formula even though it's been just two months? Most of the people around me say it's selfish to stop breastfeeding for my own good. But how can I function well and be a good mom if breastfeeding is so depressing?
