Would you be weirded out?

If it matters my mother and I are not close physically or emotionally. My whole pregnancy she’s been a bit weird about boundaries, but recently she’s been saying she goes around “talking to the baby” we live hours apart so it’s not as in to my belly, like she’s just talking out loud. She expressed disappointment that my husband is the one that goes with me to appointments not her, and that he’s the one there when I have my c section. She’s also told her work that as soon as I have my c section she’ll be leaving work and coming here, despite us saying she’s not to come to the hospital and that we’ll let her know when we’re having visitors. I’ve told her I don’t want her to stay with us but she keeps saying she’s ’forgotten’. She’s also saying she will come over every week on the same day. This is especially strange given I’ve seen her once in the past almost year and has even had huge blow ups at me over text for saying we weren’t having a baby shower, to the point she called me disgusting and despicable and threatened no contact. I feel viscerally uncomfortable. It also doesn’t help she talks about having alone time with the baby when she’s ‘allowed’ and how she’ll teach the baby things I don’t want and “what happens on grandma’s time stays on grandma’s time”. I can’t tell if I’m overreacting

Girl, I know it’s your mum but CUT HER OFF.

This is 100% narcissistic behavior. Please do yourself a favour and cut contact before baby is here ❤️ The absolute stress she will cause you once baby is here - mixed with hormones and potentially PND - is not something anyone needs. Be strong girl ❤️

Do you think there’s a difference in giving store puree & making your own?

I use shop bought, the ingredients are organic and 100% the fruit/veg. It’s so cheap & convenient

1 year check

Hey ladies, in need of some experience / advice:
My little girl, nearly 11 months doesn’t crawl, cannot pull self to standing, cruise or walk unaided and on her 1 year check is in the concern section for this.
Upon measurements they also questioned why my little girl sits slouched? Or the only way I could describe it was like a monkey ha?
They’re referring my little lady to a community children’s paediatrics team and given me a physio number … question is: has anyone else been in the same position? What happened? What support was given? Did your child meet these milestones?

My little girls legs are fine, she’s a late roller but has exceeded other areas on the 1 year check.

And please, before anyone comments ‘babies develop at different rates’ yes I do understand this as an early years worker myself, but being my first and only baby… I still worry and would like support if any ❤️🥹

Overnight diaper suggestions?

We are a Huggies family but I recently tried the overnights and my 8 month old has leaked through nearly every night! I don’t know why!
What overnight diapers do you suggest?!
