Christmas present

Morning ladies,

I really don't know what to get my lil lady for christmas she will be 6 months in jan.

People say that the door bouncers etc are bad for babies. I know she will love one as I did as a baby.

Any suggestions what to get her?

Thankyouuu ❤️

Honestly at that age they don't need much, I just asked for vouchers last year. My 1st started crawling when she was 6.5 months and so I didn't put her in a bouncer after 4 months so maybe ask for a walker or something more practical and longer lasting? Oh and a Tomie box is really good too!!

Things like this are bad for prolonged use. Not short periods x

Door bouncers and sit in walkers are bad for babies hip development and there's risk of hip issues once older.

I'd go for a wooden sturdy push along walker, maybe a Tonie box, and musical instruments if you dont have any already.

My son was the same age last Christmas and we got him things he would grow into toy wise, like a walker but it had activities on the front so he could still play with it in the lead up. We also got him things like toys for the bath, musical instruments etc.

I would think about things you've noticed that get her attention. Usually toys that move or light up will get their attention and then maybe some practical things. A walker or activity table would be good and some books. Honestly, you spend all the time wrapping the presents to then unwrap them yourself anyway. 😂

I'd get her the door bouncer. Everything now comes with a hazard. It's about how long you use it for at a time. All mine have had one, I had one. No issues here. Ill be getting my lo one when old enough x

My little girl is 2 this month and I was putting her in a normal bouncer around 5 months she is very active and shes absolutely fine ! She loved it and when she got a bit older I got her a door bouncer as long as your baby isnt in there for absolute hours I think its fine xx

Five month old is still in 0-3

Hey has anyone else had this my five month old barely fits into any 3-6 clothes they all drown her but her 0-3 still fits perfect. She turns 6 months next week she’s hitting all her milestones but I’m wondering did anyone else go through the same? And did they go to 3-6 or just jump to 6-9 because I have seen some do that?

My 8 month old has no sleep routine nor eats 😅

Any mamas with babies aged 6 months + who have absolutely no sleep routine and just sleep whenever they want?😅 I’ve tried everything to establish a routine, but nothing seems to work, what works is following her lead and waiting till she gets tired, I’m curious to know if this is what other mamas do or if they have a strict wine down routine and how they implement this? Also, my little one barely eats and is still on purees but some days she won’t eat at all, some days 5 spoons because anything with a thicker texture makes her vomit as one time she had vomit through her nose and mouth😩 I’m also terrified of baby led weaning because of choking, so weaning has been stressful! She is constantly teething though so that could be a reason, at 8 months she has 6 teeth 😂 I keep seeing these babies eat full on 3 meals and snacks by 8 months and I feel like I’m failing 🥺 Any advice or tips for babies with strong stubborn personalities who like doing everything on their own terms? Xx

Baby carriers

What baby carriers are we all using? Any that people can recommend, my baby girl is 12 weeks and walks the dogs with me daily, I currently have the momcozy newborn carrier but I feel like she’s just not comfortable in there on longer walks. She is only just reaching 10lb so is still a little dot.

Feeling overwhelmed and down.

Had my baby boy 3 weeks ago now and I feel like I'm heading towards postpartum depression territory :( I feel like I miss my old self, my old life and my old life with my partner. I've wanted a baby for so long and now I feel so overwhelmed by how constant it is all the time and it makes me feel like a failure 😢 how is everyone else coping at the moment?

Breastfeeding to sleep

How long as your baby needed to be breastfed to sleep or has your baby naturally self soothed without needing to be nursed to sleep. My baby is 4mo and only knows either breast or dummy to fall asleep and will not go down without either one . Had one night and day of trying to get him to sleep without either and it was a total disaster and I was crying as much as he was. I don’t think I’m strong enough to do CIO method and I don’t want to have do that. I feel physically sick thinking that the only way to get him to sleep without associating it with nursing is CIO. :(

Any experiences in this area ?
