Sit independently without support
Get themselves into a sitting position (though not all yet!)
Roll confidently both ways
Move around somehow — crawling, bum shuffling, commando crawling, or wriggling
Bear weight on their legs when held standing
Some may start pulling themselves up on furniture

I think from about 4 months onwards but not responding consistently until about 9 months. My baby knows his name very well but literally ignores us when he's busy playing / when he wants to even when we get in his face lol He's just cheeky but I remember to help him learn his name we had to stop all the cutesy nicknames we had for him now we can use his proper nickname and he responds as well as to his full name.

Nesting!

I’m 27 weeks and feel like I started nesting weeks ago. I look at random things in my house every day and think “ugh I need to clean that/organise that asap because baby is coming soon”.
I guess I’m wondering when nesting starts for most people and if anyone has any practical tips for tidying up the house before baby arrives?
I’m really struggling to keep on top of housework between work and regular mum & wife tasks. I feel like every time I clean or organise something, my husband or toddler undoes it or makes a new mess for me to tidy!😅

I’m in two minds…..

So I have recently seen a lot of influencers saying they aren’t posting there children faces anymore due to AI and people using them for the worst things you could think of possible

I post my child on fb and instagram (only family and school friends all account are private

I have also just started TikTok literally only have 50 followers I now feel so so guilty I just feel so proud of him and just want to show our day to day life

I don’t know what to do now

My mum also has him a lot and does ‘grandma day care’ post on fb and only has her friends and family on there too

I don’t know what to do & I feel as though I should be able to post what I want but also don’t want him in any danger

Crazy or not

My mother in law has never really liked me. She called me a money grabbing slapper because her son earns good money and thinks I’m only with him and kept my child with him because of he’s money. Am I crazy for telling my partner to not have no contact with her for disrespecting me!

Mil doesnt get my 5 year old

My mil isnt close to my daughter, rarley see her (her doing)
Which means she just doesnt get my daughters personality at all.
Social wise my daughter takes after me, shes not a people person, shes pretty shy and hates people in her face or trying to make her laugh when she's clearly not in the mood.
When we see her she will still get in my daughters face trying to make her laugh, grabbing at her legs or arms (in a fun way- in her eyes)
My daughter doesnt like it and gets upset/angry.
This happens every time!!!! Like wtf
I want them to have a relationship but its like my mil cant be botherd actually making one instead she has to act the clown!

What would you do in a situation like this seriously? when the man you've been dealing with for almost a year now.. comes over your house and eats up you and your kids food drinks and snacks that he is not replacing.

When you bring it to his attention.. he says he's a guest in my home basically. But as soon as he comes over his first stop is literally the kitchen. Because he has no food at his house.. I'm starving to think he literally just wants to come over to eat and snack. When we first started talking.. I used to make him breakfast but once I realized he didn't deserve that i stopped. He drinks up damn near all the sodas and water in the fridge. Eats up all my kids snacks.. I came in the kitchen this morning with one pop tart left, after there was a total of 4 in there. 4 packs of crackers left but 8 total came in the lil box all together.. lastnight he was literally back and fourth in the kitchen.. had about 2 or 3 sodas and atleast 2 bags of chips. Ate a pack of ramen noodles.. which he goes after almost everytime he comes over.. I just put groceries in my house last week. He will come over mainly on weekends because he works.. but never seem to have any money to take care of himself. Am i wrong for getting fed up with this ??

This is so hard

My baby just turned 8 months and everything is still such a struggle.
I just totally didn't realise how hard having a baby is. Every new phase is hard and I'm constantly second guessing myself, wondering if I'm failing or doing the best that I can for my little boy. Every day feels like a fight and I'm exhausted.
I feel so bad that I wish away his baby months, and I can't wait until he's a proper little fun person toddling around and communicating with me.
I'm sad that this is not how I thought maternity leave would be. I thought it would be happier and full of love. Whereas it's exhausting, and full of anxiety.
Just sharing, in case others feel the same way. I know we'll get through this, but it's just bloody hard in the meantime...
