Hey, my LO is turning 9 months and is a bit slower in terms of development. He’s not interested in moving yet although he can sit up and has only just started rolling now. He still doesn’t respond to his name unless it’s silent in the room but that’s him responding to sound rather than his name. He does smile and giggle at us and has said mama and dada. He also flaps his arms a lot out of excitement and flicks his hands too. He is also fascinated by his own and other people’s hands. Anyone have any first hand experience with this? I’m concerned with the arm flapping/hands fascination, not responding to name and the late to rolling milestone.

He is 9 months old 😭 he literally sounds like your average baby

These are all normal baby behaviours. The stimming behaviours you’re talking about (flapping etc) are normal for babies and children and gradually lessen as a person gets older. Please try not to read into things at this stage. (Coming from an autism specialist speech and language therapist).
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?

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!

Sorry if this has come up before, I tried to search.
Has anyone successfully bought products from the offers section on the Emmas Diary website?
Where there are links to other stores with heavy discounts like 60%-90% off.
Seems too good to be true but Emma's Diary bags are legit (albeit full of marketing)
Im specifically looking at a product from The Nursery Store.
Thanks!
