Hello everyone

Im concernd about Ella!
I know all babies develop differently but she doesnt seem to do anything that all your babys are doing allready.. She still hasnt smiled, when i lay on her play mat or put her in her rocker chair she doesnt look at the toys hanging down its like they dont exist or shes just not intrested.. shes awake alot more this past few days and i cant seem to do anything to entertain her. i feel like i dont know how to keep her happy and its a little upsetting as id do anything to make her happy! If i lay her on her tummy she just lies there looking all helpless and if i try sit her up she just lops to one side??!

I know shes still young but im a little worried about her development
I cant remember when my next HV appointment is but she hasnt been for ages..! Might phone tomoz and make sure she hasnt forgotten about us lol!

Am i been a paranoid mummy??

The worst thing you can do Ruth is compare bub's with anyone else (I know it is so difficult not to!)

I would def clal HV though, just to put your mind at rest! I am sure all is fine and Ella will be givin yu smiles very soon

Arthur has only started doing all these things hun, i wouldn't worry, what does the health visitor think?
shes only a week older than Arthur, but hv said hes quite advanced for his age. Was ella late or early?

Aw Ruth hun don't worry yourself. I had convinced myself Cathy was blind or autistic because she wouldn't make eye contact, smile or show any interest in anything (her favourite activity was to stare at walls). But the past day or so, she has started to smile (STILL not that huge smile I see on so many other babies though!) and even that took playing with finger puppets and singing at her for an hour!

You say that Ella is being more awake, this is what I started to see in Cathy a few days before she started smiling, so fx it's just around the corner for you. xxx

ruth don't work yourself up Ella will do it all eventually. All babies develop at different rates. Although Madison makes eye contact there are still plenty times when she will just stare above me like i'm not there. Just keep encouraging her and she will get there but if you are worried speak to your hv xx

kerrie..i know what you mean. I noticed the other day how much Madison had grown and changed and I got a little upset!

Ruth I'm sure that the smiles won't be far away. Have you tried black and white things like a couple of squares from card or cloth.

For a while I though t wasn't doing well because he would stare at the patio windows. Day or night, then realised it was high contrasting colours that would get his attention. It started to encourage him to focus on things.

Hope it helps xx

if you have sky tv, try channel 623 baby tv its amazing to stimulate the baby, arthur gets sn hour a day on it, its full of slow moving colours, shapes and music. hv said it was reslly good for mind xx

its on 24hrs take a look tell me what you think xx

 

[kerrie89]

I am leaving O all day and night tomorrow. I'll be leaving house at half 7 and back about 11 at night.

I am nearly crying cos i really dont want to leave her

I know im being silly and ive left her before with my mum and oh.

My mum will have her in morn as oh will be in bed as he works nights then oh will have her from 12 ish.

I know its silly but i feel jelous that other people will be with her and not me. Its one day! I dont want oh's family to come and see her when im not there and tbh i dont even want my mun to have her. Oh my god what is wrong with me?? I think its because its a full day and she will be asleep when i leave and when i get back

I need to pull myself together!!

 

[Wilson28]

shuurrup ya daft sod, course you going to feel like that its yr baby xx

 

[sallybee]

Aw Hun I feel for you it's awful the first time you leave them but honestly it probably won't be as bad as you think it will be, the first time I left cathy I cried loads and rushed home to see her an hour later but now I'm fine. Obviously I still miss her and think about her all the time but I'm not quite so much of an emotional wreck xx

 

[Kellybean]

Ruth.

Massan has only started doing theses things the last few days. Before he just cried, poo'd, grizzled and slept.

 

[Wilson28]

ive only left Arthur 3 times, one with daddy while i had my hair done, then with his god father to be rob, my next door neighbour, while i went to the doctors and another popped to morrisons, but the no longer than 2 hrs have i left him xx

I've only left James with Daddy and the longest I've been gone for is almost 2 hours.

To be honest I have no qualms in leaving James for a bit longer (only with OH) but I wouldn't look forward to leaving him all day with anyone else. My Mum, SIL and sister would all be perfectly capable BUT whilst he is so young I want him to stay with me or his Dad.

I feel like I am missing a limb when I am out without him!

xxxxxxxx

 

[kerrie89]

Ive left O with my mum 4 times and with oh once. The longest was with oh while i went to meadowhall but thts it.

I was fine those times but now i think its cos it will be for a full day (15 hours haha) and i wont have oh with me so i feel like i cant say how much i miss her all day cos people dont always want to hear it.

My friends babe is 4 weeks and she will be there so at least we will have each other lol. Xx

 

[CARNAT22]

Just make the most of it Kerrie!

You know bub is in safe hands, and you know you'll be getting cuddles soon enough!

Enjoy and don't feel guilty

xxxxxxx

 

[CARNAT22]

Not sure if I have mentioned before but James is in love with Henry the Hoover?

He proper flirts with him - cooing and chortling at him??

A few pic's LOL!
