corey still isnt sitting up

[SCARED MUM TO BE]

just wondering what age your children sat by themselves at and what help can i give corey

Aimee was around 7 and a half months when she started sitting up on her own, maybe even a bit later.

 

[kayleighsmum]

i was getting worried too as keira is 6 months and still not doing it

 

[SCARED MUM TO BE]

i know coey was 6 weeks prem but does that count anymore? was with health visitor today and she told me to get rid of walker as thats why he isnt doing it and to get him on his belly as much as i can, i swear im so pants, she also told me to start feeding corey with fresh food now as he is putting on a bit of weight and where she thinks im going to get the time to make it can u girls give me any tips, ud think id catch on to this mothering NOW

 

Tell you health visitor to go and jump off.
A paediatition told me a walker is fine aslong as they aren't in it for too long at a time.
Damien learnt to do sit up at about 7.5 months, but he has not speach skills really. He is a wriggler and mover, not a talker. He can say mumma but that's it, no other sounds at all!! By this age apparently he should be saying dada and recongnising mama as me. I can tell you he isn't (although I like to think he is sometimes)

We have to correct our preemies ages till they are 2 I think, by then all kids are pretty much the same.
If you don't have time to cook meals (I don't!) then you can feed him jars hun. I give Damien the Hipp organic ones, and they smell good enough to eat myself! No rubbish in them.

You are not a bad mummy, you're doing great. Don't let a nagging HV make you feel you're doing everything wrong.

ditto sami.

all through life people do things at different rates. the guidelines they give you are just that, guidelines. they do it when they are ready.
with the food try and give him a bit of what you eat, like a roast or any veg. thats what we do, not because its better but because its cheaper and liam likes to eat the sam as us.

youre doing a great job hun

hannah was 4 weeks prem and they took that into consideration at all her assessments even her year one so don't worry hun being prem can make a difference

 

[Tara & Liam]

so is liam classes as prem as i had him by c section at 38 weeks + 4 (i think)

 

[SCARED MUM TO BE]

Aaron didn't really sit until he crawled which was about 7 months.

 

so is liam classes as prem as i had him by c section at 38 weeks + 4 (i think)

a preemie is a baby born before 37 weeks hun


I used to give Damien the packets, but at 7motnhs, they start to run out of variety! And start to work out more expensive when you have a ganit baby One packet will only make 2-2.5 meals by the time they are 9 months I think. The jars have a lovely big variety, and everynow and again I'll buy an organic range by another make instead of organic so not to make things to repetative. God knows what I give him though, I grab one out the cupboard without looking, he's probably had cottage pie for lunch and dinner before

Don't you worry about all these charts andf books which say they should be doing this that or the other, prems have their own rule book which is 'they will do it when they are ready' and not to worry, and the same applies for full termers too. I know it's easier said than done and I still worry sometimes, but try not to x
