Crawling

I’m trying not to worried but my baby will be 10 months on the 22nd and he’s still not crawling. He’s constantly rolling around from back to belly and belly to back and pivots in circles but will not crawl. He’s constantly rolling is always on the floor except for when he’s eating or sleeping or getting some cuddles from me and his baba. I’m not sure what to do should I be worried or just relax and realize he’ll crawl when he’s ready to

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?

Emma's Diary offers (not bags)

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!

Baby carrier

Anyone using this baby carrier? Would you say it's worth buying?

I'm looking for something that will help me carry my almost 6-month-old baby. He is heavy and I'm a very petite mum.

Thanks

Considering quitting breastfeeding

I’m having a bit of a breakdown girls🤣
Baby girl is 2 weeks old today & I’m really struggling with breastfeeding. Baby has had her tongue tie snipped today but she’s still struggling to feed and im literally at the edge with it all mentally. She’s still really underweight so I have lots of pressure to get her weight up as fast as I can. (Still 6lbs 4oz, remained the same since day 5).

Baby is either on the boob for 6 hours straight (where she cant get enough milk) or she’s screaming at the boob and refusing it, but constantly eating her hands and looking for nipple as if she’s starving. My supply has really dropped and I’m hardly pumping anything so I don’t really have bottles to give her. I’ve followed all the advice from the breastfeeding clinics and done everything I can to increase my supply and try my best to calm baby down. I’m just shattered and don’t think I can take it anymore.

It’s causing me and my partner to argue because I haven’t slept since she’s been born and he’s not been the most supportive. Anything I say he gets all defensive and says he’s tired too (even though he sleeps through), he then says “it’s not a competition, you don’t appreciate what I do). During an argument today I’ve told him to go to the shops and buy formula because I can’t take this anymore.

What is your advice? Have you been in this situation & just stuck with it & come out at the other end? Does it get better?
Or did you switch to bottles & get better from there?
I know it’s all a very personal thing but I’m just so torn on what to do.
I reallyyy had my heart set on breast feeding but I’m really hating it right now.

Napping in baby swing

My baby falls straight to sleep in his swing chair and if I don’t get him out will sleep in it for over an hour- is this okay? He’s strapped in and supervised.
