Would you be worried?
Everytime I tell someone my concerns I’m told that babies develop at their own rate and I completely agree.. but something just doesn’t sit right with me and idk what to do to put myself at ease..
Baby is 10.5m old. She was a late roller. She’s not really babbling, she blows raspberries and dino screams and makes aaa and ooo noises but that’s about it.
She cannot crawl, transition to sitting on her own.
She sometimes tries to pull herself to standing if I put her in front of the sofa, but gets to her knees and falls.
She is an amazing eater, will eat anything but prefers to hand feed herself, spoons are a no🤣.
She sleeps through the night, naps are not great but I take it for the night sleep.
Last time I called hv about a month ago they tried to reassure me all was okay but I’m making myself sick with worry. Someone else mentioned global developmental delay? I darent google it, it will just spiral my anxieties even more.
I guess I’m just looking for opinions, advice and/or even reassurance if you’re in the same boat as me.

My eldest didn’t crawl till her 1st birthday. She then didn’t walk till 17 months. Every health visitor visit was like a ohhh she should be doing this by now she’s a bit behind. At the same time we were under a neurologist and he said this is absolutely fine and he wasn’t worried about her at all, his word was all I cared about. She’s a very smart cookie now . Please don’t worry! They all develop at different rates and I know what it’s like to compare and worry X
My daughter is similar. She has been "late" to do almost everything. She's saying "dada" now but nothing else. She took ages to roll and isn't crawling yet, although close. She can't transition to sitting from laying down. My son on the other hand did all these things much earlier.
It's hard not to compare and worry but if she has eventually got there with other things then I wouldn't worry too much. I originally worried but then realised its just her pace.
Hope this reassures you xx
I personally think it’s a bit early to be worrying about development delays. Some babies skip crawling entirely and it sounds like yours is trying to pull herself up which is great!
My toddler wasn’t weight bearing on his legs at all at his one year review, he cruised at 14 months then walked at 18 months. He’s nearly 3 now and completely on track for everything development wise. If anything his speech is advanced for 3 and he’s so clever. I know it’s hard not to worry but I really think it’s too soon xx
Thank you so much ladies, it’s nice to hear I’m not alone. Really appreciate it xxx

Is it ok to let a newborn (2weeks) sleep if already past birth weight or wake to feed ?
No hate for having a sleepy baby please my first was an awful sleeper so I know how triggering these posts can be 😂… but
My 2 week old slept for almost 6hours last night and we woke him even though he seemed pretty tired and would have slept longer. He’s been a sleepy baby since birth but feeds a lot throughout the day and has surpassed his birth weight but my husband woke me last night to say we need to wake the baby to feed. I said I’d get up and pump and let the baby sleep but he said we shouldn’t let him go over 6 hours without a feed….
Should we wake him? Thoughts below please :)

Help…Normal tantrum or something more?
My daughter is having the worst meltdowns recently. I’m talking to the point where people are starting to stop outside my house and looking in with concern. The anxiety and humiliation leaving the house sometimes is exhausting. Kicking and screaming at the top of her voice in public and having everyone in the street looking at me, is a different kind of embarrassment and guilt. I’ve had a few conversations recently with various people about seeing someone professional about mt daughter’s behaviour. She’s also started using noises and moans to gesture what she wants, coming from an incredibly smart 3 year old who has been speaking full sentences since she was two. We have regressed in verbal communication, and the meltdowns are getting so horrifically bad. She also tugs at her clothes when distressed or pulls on her fingers. There is absolutely ZERO reasoning with her when she is like this, it’s just constant screaming. I’m a first time mum and just at a complete loss.

Breast feeding
I’m expecting in a few months time and want to breast feed (breast and bottle feed). What bottles do you recommend? I formula fed my first daughter and used Dr brown bottles (hated Tommee Tippee and MAM due to tongue tie issues). Is Philips Avent good or Lansinoh? Thank you ☺️
