My son is a week shy of turning 8 months and sits up really well but no crawling yet. I think it can vary so much from child to child. X

My eldest 2 didnt crawl until almost a year old...we thought they'd skip it and go straight to walking to be honest.

Mine will be eight months at the end of September and isn't crawling yet. In the last week she's started to show signs that she might soon. My son was 9 months before he crawled and is now very physically able, I'm not at all worried.

Nope not crawling 8 months in a few weeks

Mine will be 8 month in 7 days and she isn't crawling but she will sit up really well

My eldest didnt crawl till he was 13 months old. My jan baby is nearly crawling (will army crawl) every baby is different. Please don't put too much pressure on yourself they will get it one day x

Since we got her a playpen she learned to crawl in 10 days and now she pulls herself up and stands for 20min straight. I found the playpen allowed her to progress so fast and she enjoys it so much. If you have space I’d recommend to get one

My girl isn’t even rolling yet, let alone crawling. But she does sit really well 🤷‍♀️ Trying not to stress about it, they all develop at their own rate.

Nursery consumables

We pay £20 a day extra on a funded day (10 hours a day) it’s £10 for consumables and £10 enhanced provision. It’s all itemised on the invoice and 25p an hour is nappies and 75p and hour food, my son hasn’t worn nappies for months and nursery have also stopped the morning snack without making it common knowledge but the price hasn’t changed. The enhanced provision they have said covers things such as using bikes, hi viz jackets, drinks such as cows milk, sensory play, painting aprons etc they have literally covered everything in suprised they haven’t charged for the air they’re breathing in there 😅 all of the above I believe are covered in the core element of EYFS and shouldn’t be charged extra for?!

Colostrum

Started harvesting my colostrum last night. I managed to get 1ml from one breast (could’ve collected more but as it was my first time I didn’t want to overdo it) but when I went to collect from the other breast I got nothing, only a little drop. Is it normal to get more colostrum in one breast than the other?

Maxi Cosi Car Seat

Is this normal for the Maxi Cosi Pebble 360 car seat to rattle like this? The base is sturdy and all green tabs are showing, it’s just the car seat that feels loose!

My 7 week 2 day old baby has been getting bogeys for about 2 weeks however in the last few days has been quite snotty,

then last night he has been breathing heavy and we can hear how congested he is.

We have tried using a sucker which works for a couple of minutes but then comes back. He is quite chesty, and we can feel the raspyness on his chest and back.

Will be hopefully getting a GP appointment today but just wanted to see if it’s happening to any else’s baby at the moment and how you helped them 🥹 He is currently sleeping on my chest because he has been struggling on his back and was so tired from last night.

Pram vs boot.

I need some help. I have a lil Fiat 500, I absolutely adore my car, and I really really dont want to have to get a new car. but my partner is saying there's no way im gonna find a pram that will fit in my boot 😭 does anyone have a fiat 500 and what pram do you have thay fits in the boot? 🤍

Overnight nappy recommendations?

My boy is a heavy night wetter and sleeps on his tummy.
He's 6 months and in size 4 nappies.
He wakes for 1 or 2 bottles and goes back down easy, unless we change his nappy, then he's harder to get back to sleep.
We've tried, pampers + and the pampers nappy pants. What are all the boy mumma's using for overnight nappies?
Obviously I'm not letting him wet through and I change him in the night but just wondering if theres a better nappy for overnight so we all get better sleep.
