Baby's legs crossed

My newborn always has her legs in a cross, I couldn't stretch then out to put her in a carrier. I just googled it and apparently it could be cerebral palsy. Has anyone's baby had a similar cross leg?? Is it just the newborn scrunch?

I'm a babywearing peer supporter. Newborn scrunch is really. Normal and common when trying to first use a carrier! Which carrier are you trying to use? When they're that little their legs tend to be bent up in front of them rather than out to the side so soft stretchy wraps are better than structured carriers

That’s the scrunch 😊 xx

Random post just because but why does every child in the world from every culture like chicken nuggets? What addictive drugs they put in them. Even I been craving mcDs chicken nuggets postpartum?!!!!!!

Also, why does everyone like chicken? Obviously not for you if you are vegetarian or vegan. My husband said because there's so many ways you can make it, casserole, stewed, curried, baked, grilled, fried, airfried so he will never get bored of it lol

Baby movements

Does anyones has the same "problem". My baby is active but I find it sometimes that he moves a lot other days might be more quiet. I never had a normal pattern this is my second pregnancy and the first was the same. But always make worried.

6 months pregnant

I can’t believe I’ve gone 6 months without a deli sandwich with my first son I ate Jersey mikes all the time and never got sick but now that I’m pregnant with another boy I’m like craving it so bad that I gave in and having one for dinner tonight. I know you can heat up the deli meat but I’m craving a cold sub so I’m like fuck it women have sandwiches every day not in moderation and they are fine I’m sure I’m fine and Jersey mikes cuts it fresh for you.
