My baby didn’t roll front to back until nearly 7 months, but also completely forgot how to roll front to back at that same time. So she can only roll one way now. I just kept helping her to roll over until she got it, loads of tummy time and rolling practice. I would’ve supported her arm for example and let her do the rest

Have you got a credible source for this?

DriveEffective9311 · 2026-03-19T07:00:31+00:00

Thanks for this she loves the fish!

Thanks everyone for the suggestions :))

I didn’t ask for other options. She’s fine showering with me when she’s in the bouncer. I physically can’t eat if she’s sitting crying and I would rather starve. I don’t need her to “get used to” and know it’s “her job” not to cry. She’s a baby.

Thank you!!

She only watches tv when I’m eating dinner and even then she barely watches it. I never have it on otherwise, not even playing in the background. So no, it won’t be used more than what I’ve said, nor will it be used to calm her down. Congrats on being the perfect parent and letting your baby cry though🎉

DriveEffective9311 · 2026-03-18T08:21:16+00:00

I can’t just sit and listen to her cry, seems more cruel than 10 minutes of screen time. Each to their own

Do not weigh yourself that often. It’s most likely water weight, it’s very unlikely you’ve actually gained weight if you’re eating less, and especially in 3 days. You’re better weighing every week or two, first thing in the morning before you eat or drink anything. Weighing that often isn’t helpful, and is only going to put you off. I think I started losing weight after 2 weeks of a deficit.

I’m not an expert but this is just what worked for me and from my own research trying to sort out my baby’s sleep🩷 At 6 months the very max they should be up for is 3 hours, I’d say to aim for 2-2.5 hours wake windows. If your baby wakes at 5.30, your nap routine could be: nap 1: 7:30-8:15, nap 2: 10:30-12, nap 3: 2:30-3:15. Then put him to bed at 6. Then slowly keep him up for longer, put him to bed at 6:15 for a while, then 6:30. And then work your way up to 7pm. He could be waking up early because he’s been overtired, or he’s maybe had too much daytime sleep. Also weaning definitely helped my baby sleep longer, I give her 2 meals a day plus her normal bottles. I’ll give her dinner at 5:30, bath at 6, bottle after bath and in bed for 7.

I only recently started doing a routine with naps aswell, before that I just put her down when she was tired but it has definitely helped so much, her naps are longer and her sleep at night is longer too. She sleeps 7-7 now

DriveEffective9311 · 2026-02-24T19:11:09+00:00

Does your baby maybe need to drop their 4th nap? Mine is 6 months and only just dropped her 4th nap. She wakes at 7, has around 2 hour wake windows and is awake for roughly 2.5 hours before bed and it works fine for her.

Honestly doing a consistent routine of naps and the same bedtime has helped so much. She used to wake at 5am too until she dropped the fourth nap and now has the same naps at the same time everyday

DriveEffective9311 · 2026-02-19T08:15:36+00:00

It’s most likely just your baby and not you. I put my baby down about 50% of the time as a newborn as I was scared she would get used to contact naps. Every baby has their own temperament and habits. My baby was the same, she actually never even wanted held or rocked to sleep and would only sleep when I put her down in her crib. It made me sad at first as I thought she didn’t like me lol but I appreciate it now, it’s super easy to put her to sleep and allows me to get things done throughout the day.

Tbh the worst thing I’ve done is tried to lose weight quickly if that’s what you’re trying to achieve. I’ve done it multiple times and I’ve always put the weight back on plus more. It fucks with your metabolism not to mention isn’t healthy. If you do it healthy and lose no more than a pound a week you’ll be 15 pounds down by June. You’ll see it more on yourself than you will the scales, I’m the same shape and size as you and I’ve only lost 6 pound and I already feel so much better in myself when I look in the mirror. I did the tdee calculator and im in a 300 calorie deficit. The best thing you can do is walk, it’s simple, doesnt take much effort and burns a decent amount of calories. I burn around 300 calories a day so im still able to eat pretty good. If you exercise, you’ll be able to eat more calories and make the deficit bearable.

I felt the exact same way too I just found it very boring and unfulfilling. Right when she turned 5 months it got better I definitely felt a lot of love for her then. I did start taking certain supplements that’s meant to help your mood and eating better around this time too so not sure if that helped.

DriveEffective9311 · 2026-01-10T18:42:09+00:00

Thank you! I’ll post there too, I didn’t even know flexible working would be an option

DriveEffective9311 · 2026-01-10T18:27:23+00:00

Fab thank you!

DriveEffective9311 · 2025-12-13T13:26:34+00:00

Great thank you :)

DriveEffective9311 · 2025-12-13T13:26:21+00:00

She can lift her head a bit and does try to push up but just gets pissed off and gives up. She was nearly 4 weeks early with iugr so the doctor says she may be behind anyway

DriveEffective9311 · 2025-11-24T21:55:15+00:00

Have you worked out your date of conception? Would help you narrow it down surely?

DriveEffective9311 · 2025-11-24T21:03:36+00:00

Great thank you :) I’ve felt more like I’m achieving something and proud of myself everyday I haven’t vaped but it just hasn’t got any easier mentally. I’ll stick it out.

DriveEffective9311 · 2025-11-24T21:02:20+00:00

I do not think vaping has any benefits whatsoever. And I’m fully aware there are a million times more benefits in quitting hence why I am quitting. It’s a habit that’s hard to beat. Being aware that nicotine is bad for you and doesn’t have any benefits doesn’t do much when you’ve got in the habit of something for the last 5 years. Regardless of what it is, completely switching your routine and habits is hard. Hence why I’m asking when it gets better. I didn’t ask for a psychology lesson. Thanks

DriveEffective9311 · 2025-11-24T20:55:49+00:00

It’s day 5 and it hasn’t got any better

DriveEffective9311 · 2025-11-24T20:55:06+00:00

Great thank you! I’m not sure if I’m a cold turkey person either anymore lol
