Sitting

I have 6 month old twins born 29th Jan and I’m a bit worried about their development.

Twin A has started rolling today. He can sit assisted for a couple seconds.

Twin B is rolling both ways and army crawling. When we try to get him to sit assisted you can see he doesn’t have the spine strength yet to hold himself up.

Is there anything I need to do or someone I need to contact regarding these worries?

They’re still both really young I wouldn’t worry. Just encourage tummy time but if you are worried I’d maybe speak to your home visitor ☺️ babies don’t usually sit up unaided until 8-9 months and aided generally from 6 months x

My oldest couldnt sit up until he was over 9 months old and is absolutely fine now. My youngest is 7 months and doesnt sit for long. So I think its normal.

But if you are concerned you could contact a HV and see what they say x

My girl born 25th Jan rolls both ways and can sit in a high chair or against someone assisted but not for long.

My boy was born on the 10th January, he can crawl, pull himself up and stand. But refuses to sit.. I’m not sure if it’s a balance thing, a strength thing or he just simply doesn’t like sitting. He can assisted perfectly fine but it’s like he’s missed that milestone 😩😂

Do I really need an infant car seat?

I'm struggling with the wastefulness and consumerism that comes with creating a baby registry. So much of this stuff will be used for 2-3 months and then donated or trashed. I noticed that most of the convertible car seats are good from 4lbs to 50lbs. Can I just use that or do I need an infant car seat too?

Breast pump advice

Hey! I have been breast pumping since my baby was born mid-July. I’m just past the 4 week mark and my supply has dropped. I did see that this is common “week 4 reset” thing. I pump every two hours and am trying to eat and drink more (didn’t know how hard this would be as a first time mom lol)

My main concern is that the last week or so, just my right nipple has started to crack/so sore and is pretty freaking painful now while pumping. I have gone up and down a flange size and use nipples cream to assist with rubbing but nothing is working.

If it doesn’t get better I may have to quit and I don’t want that 😭

Any recommendations? / advice?

PPD

Is it normal to feel postpartum depression a year after having a baby I felt fine after my second baby was born but around 6 months postpartum I started feeling very depressed and having a hard time connecting with my kids I just don’t even feel like a person anymore I’m now 9 weeks pregnant with my 3rd and feel absolutely no connection to this pregnancy I’m afraid I won’t feel a connection with this baby at all once they are born.(it’s not just the kids tho I also feel like I lost a connection with my partner I can’t stand him I do love him I just seem to feel annoyed at everything my partner or my kids do I don’t like anybody touching me I don’t like cuddles with any on them and I feel horrible about it )

How do I prepare my velcro baby for nursery?

He’s 11.5months, spends 24/7 with me, exclusively breastfed, only transfers to cot when in deep sleep and cosleeps at night. I am so scared of traumatising him when he goes to nursery full time 😭

Apps recommendations for sleep/feed etc

Hey, does anyone recommend any good apps they’ve used to track sleep/wake cycles and feed timings? My 10 week LO fights sleeping the day and I want to start tracking wake windows etc to ensure I’m doing what I can to help him
Get some sleep during the day
