Help!
My daughter was a late walker at nearly 20 months but this one is determined to climb, cruise, move at not even 9 months. Any tips on helping him move around safely when I’ve got him and his sister (3) to watch?

Lol. I think it's so common to see one late and one too early. Just baby-proof everywhere. Sharp edges, sockets, shaky furniture, dangerous things that can go in the mouth, get slip mat and/or slip sock. A walker too won't be bad so he can hold unto. Try not to let him stand too long because they say it gives them a tiny "bow leg" at the beginning. But it can even out as they grow.
Have you checked with a HV? I remembered at my son’s HV review they said walking should happen by 18 months.
9 months for cruising isn't early. Just baby proof and let him explore.
Just stay away from trash lids lol. My son was about 7 months pulling himself up on the trash can. Cheap one and his tooth got stuck on the lip. When he fell it took his tooth with him. It was so sad 😭
My son started walking at 9 months. Enjoy it, how fun!

Nursery settling in period
My LB has been settling into nursery this week and is doing amazing. Only cried once when we re-entered - can't lie I felt a bit betrayed having been on mat leave with him for 11.5 months but I digressed. Anyway for the last two three days he's been waking up 6am instead of 6.30am. Is this normal? Also they only do one nap at nursery at midday. He still has two naps as if he's awake for too long he becomes really fussy and whiny until he goes to sleep so I'm worried how they will transition him to one nap. Also, his nap is just before the time he needs to be nursery each day for settling in between 9.30/10am. Oh and for the first time ever he refused his bedtime bottle last night. Would love to hear your experiences and advice please.

Ftm 31 weeks pregnant advice please 🫶🏻
I’m so excited and trying to get organised but not sure if I’m rushing. All advice welcome❤️
1. I’m having an elective c section what after care bits were actually helpful? Are the silicone patches worth it when did you start using and what brand is best? Was a peri bottle still necessary for cleaning the downstairs area or not?
2. Maternity bras. What ones would you recommend and also when did you get them I was thinking of getting them pretty soon but also not sure if they’ll fit by the time I need them or did you just size up or waited till closer to the time?
3. When did you start washing baby clothes and packing hospital bag? I pretty much have everything we need already so I could pack now I just don’t know if I should wait. Same with washing babies clothes etc I plan on washing all newborn and 0-3 months initially then bigger sizes closer to when she’ll actually need them but I still have 8 weeks how early did you start washing clothes and organising drawers etc?

I need a bit of solidarity or some tips because I’m TIRED 😂🥴🤪
Baby boy is 4.5 months, 5 months next week and for the past 2-3 weeks we’ve suddenly been waking up every 2 hours through the night. Sometimes he wakes because he wants feeding, other times he just wakes up crying and needs resettling. It’s not gas.
What used to work for my husband doesn’t seem to work anymore either, so most of the time I have to get up, pick him up, cuddle him and sometimes feed him to get him back down. He’ll wake up every 2 hours like clockwork and I’m honestly exhausted.
During the day he’s grand. He’s a regular short napper but he’s happy, smiley, smart and great kid, so I really don’t want to complain because I know these phases pass and I know he’s a blessing. But I am definitely sleep deprived and tired at the moment and I think I just needed to acknowledge that too 😂
Did anyone else have this around 4-5 months? Did it eventually settle on its own? Any tips for getting through it or helping them resettle without needing me every single time? Mostly just looking for solidarity from other tired mums

Sleep regression
Can someone please tell me this gets better 😭😅
My baby was sleeping really well and now his sleep is completely chaotic, he will go to sleep initially but then 3 hours later he’s making noises, crying out etc and then it’s every hour after that!😭 he can fall asleep on his own most of the time so I don’t understand this and what I’m meant to do. He’s 13 weeks old but I’d say the disrupted sleep has been happening for the past 2/3 weeks.
Anyone else? or anyone else been through this and know when it ends/how to help it?

Nighttime nappy changes
Are people still changing nappies throughout the night? Currently still changing my LO's at least once (as she's up every 2 hours most nights anyway) but notice the pack says 12 hours so wondering if I actually need to be doing? Worried about her getting nappy rash from wee sitting for longer than a few hours though?🤔 Obviously would change immediately if she pooped.
