My LO only started tolerating being on her tummy at around 8 months, but never for too long periods. Because of this she still hasn't shown any signs of being interested in crawling (yet she is already cruising and has started standing on her own for a few seconds). I would just keep trying...

Well, I'd like to see if you got this lady to babysit Anjali overnight. I bet Anjali would be crying for you pretty quickly :D And, just remember this thread when (if) Anjali starts separation anxiety - I have stopped leaving my LO at a creche at the gym because I never got a workout as they...

Awww, bless :hug: She sounds like a little princess indeed. My little lady is pretty cheerful too and nothing beats her smiles and giggles.

Like Beanie what struck me the most was that only 1% of women BF exclusively for six months :shock: It will be interesting to see what the results say, and WHY these babies become dehydrated (however rare it is). I just wonder if it could ever be to do with the fact that mothers are...

I wonder if this is nature's way of making sure that we don't only have one baby :think: :hug: :hug: :hug: I am sure it's only a stage x

Normally soft shoes come in sizes such as 6 -12 or 12 - 18 months. I believe you only need to have their feet measured when they get proper shoes.

I'd go for the soft shoes as well. They only need hard soled shoes when they start walking properly outdoors. We also have Shoo Shoos, but Gap has also started selling some great non-slip soft shoes ideal for cruising. Pricewise they are about the same. I also let LO to walk barefoot as she...

Great to hear that you are ditching the controlled crying at this stage :D As I often say here it's to hang around with babies of different ages - then there's no 'competition'. You are doing a great job x

My LO is really into finger puppets (is that what they are called?) at the moment and loved them on a flight as I could hide them behind her seat and she would look for them etc. We also usually have a musical mobile, a musical teddybear and books (which I have a habit of leaving on the plane...

:hug: :hug: :hug: Sorry to hear that your LO is waking up too often to your liking, but like others have said it is totally normal :hug: at such a young age.

My friend also warned me about not using bouncers for too long as according to her it can be bad to babies hips. We have one, but I have never left LO in it for more than 20 - 30 mins max. Also I only started using it when LO was putting weight on her legs (which she did around 4 months). She...

Oh, and trust your own instinct - you are his mother and know what is right for him. There are as many opinions as there are people, only listen to advice which you feel comfortable with and ignore other people :hug:

If I understand it right controlled crying is not recommended until your baby is at least until 6 months old- though I am not a great fan of that techique. Your LO is just finding a world a frightening place. The best thing is to keep him close so that he can hear your heartbeat (will remind...

My LO seems to be too busy during the day to remember BF:ing too, so I have cut down the feed between breakfast and lunch. Occassionally she 'asks' for a boob between lunch and dinner so I have still kept offering her at that time. Some days she hardly has any though. She also still loves her...

:lol: :lol: :lol: And milk spurts everywhere??? BF:ing doesn't need to be a serious business x
