17 month old not walking

My son has just turned 17 months and still isn’t walking, he can crawl, pull himself up on things & cruise along furniture. He’s also able to take a few steps if we play a game of back & fourth but gives up quite quickly.

I think he may be double jointed, I’ve spent far too long on Google & im really concerned / starting to not sleep because of it.

Has anyone had any positive outcomes?
I feel like I’m not doing enough etc 😩

Doing so much better

Just wanted to make a post to any other new mums out there who are fixated on your baby’s sleep.
For the first three months it was all I could focus on, making sure she got enough daytime sleep to help stretch out her nights / focused heavily on wake windows. I realised I became obsessive and it was making motherhood so rigid.
For the past few weeks I have thrown it all out the window and have trusted my instinct, stopped tracking on huckleberry and very loosely follow the clock but more so look at my baby’s cues.
Her sleep is still very much up and down but she has given me night stretches of 6 hours at times. The one significant improvement has been in myself and my enjoyment of motherhood. I actually feel free? 🤣
I know schedules work for some but ultimately wake windows are just an average and every baby is different.
I really would recommend to anyone who is struggling with this to just put everything down even for a few days and see if you notice a difference in yourself
I’m here if anyone wants to chat about the wormhole of sleep, the routine of searching everything on Google and the worry of everyday feeling like a battle of naps 💕

Removing childs monobrow wrong or right

My sister and brother always had monobrows and were both bullied till they were old enough to remove it themselves. my middle child came out with one and I plucked it and now they're older I use wax sheets on it whenever bits start to reappear I think its basic maintenance of a child like clipping their nails or brushing their teeth

Did you sleep train your baby?

If so what age and method did you do? Comment details below! I just started sleep training today and it’s been rough 🫩

Double pram for second baby

Lo will be about 2y9m when baby is due… I’ve bought two prams since having my first as I found my first too bulky so went for a lightweight stroller as we mainly travel around by car so reluctant to buy a third unless it’s completely necessary and I find double strollers are always huge, but would like to ask if anyone found they needed the double stroller once they had their second? Are there any other options? I’m wondering if the slings that can be attached under the pram would be sufficient enough or if they’re safe as an attachment… Tia

RSV Vaccine

Could really use some advise! I had the RSV vaccine at 30 weeks pregnant and 2 days later went into premature labour despite a straightforward pregnancy prior and no clear signs as to what caused this.

I have now received an appointment for my baby to have the RSV vaccine. Am I right to be apprehensive given it is such a new vaccine? What is the the right thing to do 🙈

I am not usually one to question a vaccine and he will receive all of the other vaccines without question
