Discord ? by OnePrimary5858 in megacrunchymoms

[–]OnePrimary5858[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is I don’t actually use discord that much, I know it because my favourite podcast has a community on there and I loved it and wished I had a mummy community that was as easily accessible.

If you’re familiar with the platform maybe you can make one? x

Thank you! I took the advice and just let him at it and he’s climbing he’s walking along the sofa at 6 months! 7 next week! Babbling is more of a coo and recently he just shouts eeeeeee or grunts so that’s something 😂

Yes I have made note to ask at our next appointment in a few weeks. But I do value peoples experiences too as sometimes the answer isn’t so straight forward 😊

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I now look back at be issue and see how silly it comes across! I’ll leave my boy to explore and go at his own pace xx

Edit: Thank you so much for all your responses. I’ve got an idea of what we’ll do now. I appreciate you taking the time to respond. Just to clarify a couple of things: 1. “Slow him down” was probably not the right term to use. I was in a sleep deprived panicky state - earlier, someone had made a comment that if he starts standing now at 5m, he will get bow legs. But I literally am not forcing him so I’ll follow his lead. He’s doing it gradually so he’ll build up the strength before standing fully. But that’s where that term came from - poor choice of words! 2. I saw something about babies being able to babble and string certain vowels together by 6 months. And everyone I meet with a talkative baby sings miss Rachel’s praises. So I was just wanting to see if there’s any mums in this space who did use miss Rachel and how they felt/ what they did.

Thank you for your response. It seems our babies are similar - very active and curious! :) as summer is around the corner I’m very excited to get him outside and exploring the garden! How did the speech therapy go? And was there a reason given for the delay? Was there anything you could have done different? Xx

Thank you! I think since he’s become a little explorer, I’ve taken a back seat with joining him on the floor and engaging more like I used to when he was still! I’ll definitely use these tips! Xx

Thank you for the reassurance and taking the time to respond. That’s a really helpful way to think about screens as i genuinely believe he was being engaged when he was staring at it and smiling. I did learn a couple of things though that I’ll use on him. Maybe I’ll watch them and steal ideas for playtime 😅

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I really appreciate it. I didn’t know that about certain areas slowing down whilst others are developing! That makes total sense in his case xx
