Does anyone have experience with Birth to Three?

Our pediatrician referred us to the Birth to Three program because our 9 month old is not sitting up or crawling yet. I don't know much about it and im curious if anyone can tell me what it will consist of?

Also, reassurance that my son will be okay would be great too 😭

In NV our program is just called early intervention, we joined when my son was about 2-3 months old because he was born with clubfeet! In my state it has been absolutely amazing. I have a social worker to help me with checking he's hitting other miles stones like babbling and eating solids and then we have a physical therapist that helps him with specific exercises to see what he is doing good and what he needs help on but regardless he is where he needs to be even with his old casting and now boots and bar! If you think it sounds good, such as the help they give, if they come to your house, and if they work with insurance, I say give it a shot

Im in CT and we are just starting Birth to 3. My daughter just turned 10 months old today and doesn't sit up on her own or crawl or anything of the sort. She has a neurological thing on the left side of her brain that makes her right side weaker. The Birth to 3 is free so why not take free help with your baby? They can show you exercises and more and they come to your house. We will have our first visit this Thursday. Maybe we should start a Birth to 3 group haha

Also Im sure your son will be just fine! I saw this video of a mom saying that her 10 month old son was only on his belly and would stretch out his arms and legs and just go up and down like a boat over and over again.And that's where he was at at ten months. So it's really all different for all babies. Some kids never crawl but they end up walking eventually. I saw this other case where a kid didn't walk until he was 17 months.

I created a WhatsApp group for you guys and anyone else to join. Unless you think that a Peanut group would be easier/better, I can do that instead

Sleep train

Hey mums
When did everyone sleep train their babies and what method did they use?? I’ve got a 5 month old and I feel like it’s to early and he’s to little but Google says now is best

2 year review

I just had my 2yo review today. And honestly that could have been a phone call. She didn't look at the questionnaire at all, barely interacted with my son and didn't weigh or measure him.

Is this normal or should I call back and ask for more? I'm not concerned about his development etc at all. It just felt like a waste of time tbh.

Edit: I also felt a slight judgement when I told her he's not in nursery yet as I work from home. We go to plenty of playgroups etc but she was like: oh ok...

2 month old grunting constantly

My 2 month old is grunting and squirming almost constantly. If hes awake and not feeding then it seems like is squirming and grunting about 95% of the time. I thought it was infant dyschezia, but is it normal for it to be all day long? He poops about once or twice every other day.

Pram

I was wondering when are people planning on changing their little ones into the seated pram rather than the bassinet? My little on is 3 1/2 months and got good neck control!

Cribs

When did everyone start putting up there cribs when pregnant ?

Dummy guilt

My daughter is 15 months old. She uses the dummy primarily for sleep but also when she’s really struggling to settle in the pram or is really upset/ill etc.

I just feel so guilty. She is very chatty so I don’t think it is slowing down her speech but I worry about it anyway, and also the impact on her teeth.

She is with a childminder 3 days a week and I feel that every picture I see of my daughter there she has the dummy in. My husband is also much more liberal with using the dummy than me, he just thinks it’s all moral panic and if she’s upset, she should have one.

I just think I don’t even know how I would stop using it. She needs it to sleep. She used to spit it out after a while, but I feel it stays in so much more of the night now.

Eugh. I just could cry. It has been such a help, giving me some respite as a breastfeeding mum, but also I don’t want to harm my child.
