MSE Newborn to 1 year Club

Evening,

I'd love to join if no one objects (no?, okay then!).

I have a little boy, Danyal, who is 10 months old. He's my first.....and last!

As I'm sure you'll all find we have our good and bad days. Currently he's mostly frustrated as he wants to move but doesn't crawl and hasn't quite got the hang of walking.

Tinks05 They go through a sleep regression at 4 months apparently, so perhaps that's why she has started waking. Mines has never slept straight through the night and still doesn't, you just get used to it after a while.

Hi everyone

I have a little boy who is almost 8 months old called Sebastian. He's my first, I always said I was only having one but I'm not so sure now, I love being a mummy and love watching him grow and do new things. Time is going so fast though and my maternity has whizzed by. I'm due back at work in September so currently trying to sort out my hours.

He is bottlefed as breastfeeding didn't work out. He also has solids and is good at trying new foods. I do struggle with breakfasts so if anyone has any ideas which they find their little ones love that would be great!!

We have good nights where he sleeps from 7.30pm through till 4 or 5 and other nights where he is so unsettled and waking constantly. He got his first two teeth at 5 months and has just cut his 5th tooth. He rolls everywhere and nothing gets in his way!! He has just started pushing himself onto all fours so I think will be crawling very soon.x

Hiya!


Daughter, Mia, is 10 months tomorrow. First, possibly last (traumatic birth).


Going well now. We've found our stride, I think. Though she does keep us on our toes as she started crawling at 7 months, cruising a couple of weeks later and is now standing independently and trying to take a few steps! Eek!


I'm so over teething. 7 already, and 8th coming through at the moment. It's been constant with those.


There is definitely a sleep regression around 4 months, and it was the toughest one for us (so far). She is sleeping much better now, but that's because we caved and used the controlled crying method about 2 months ago. She was waking every 1.5-2 hours, and I couldn't cope with that, work (I had to go back at 5 months for financial reasons) and study. Felt horribly guilty about it though.


Breastfed until 8 months, but was exclusively pumping from 5 months until 8 months as she developed a bottle preference. That was another thing I beat myself up about.


For those who do breastfeed, there is a wonderful community on fb for finding clothes that allow boob access called 'Can I breastfeed in it'. They also have a breastfeeding support page called 'Can I breastfeed in it, breastfeeding support'. There are trained peer supporters on there who offer wonderful support and advice and I can highly recommend them.


Weaning has been going well. We started off with puree as we weren't comfortable with baby led weaning (too nervous), but she's doing really well with textures and feeding herself with her hands and stuff now, so is having more and more non pureed stuff. I won a book called 'Flavour-led weaning' and she's loved every recipe from there so far


Think that's enough for now. x

Both mine didn't get teeth until they were 1! Dd has got 4 or 5 back teeth which I've been amazed at as she is only 15mths, think she 10 in total. Breakfast wise I used the cow and gate cereals until she was 10mths then switched to things like wheatabix with mashed banana, or shreddies soaked very well in milk. Ready brek with fruit puree goes down well too.

Thinkpink- i always wanted 2 and its nice now that they are starting to play together tho its hard work with 2 especially with working i never get a minute but wouldn't change it!
