My mommies that use walkers: In your opinion; did it seem as if, the walker hindered the baby's ability to learn to walk on their own?? My daughter stands for long periods and is able to take a couple steps and still maintain her balance. But, she wants to roam everywhere and do everything and it's taken a toll on my back to hold her hands while she "walks" about our home.
@sheri-z, yeah definitely! Moderation with everything! Gives you some mommy time while she scoots around! 😍
@allisongarrett51 I think I'm going to give it a try, but just for a short amount of times during the day.
@mathews132 some of my mom friends recommended it; some don't. I guess I just shouldn't leave her in it for too too long.
@mommiesaremagical14 yes, I'll probably just have her use it for a short while, so I can rest my back little bit. My back went out once, it was horrible I had to call some ladies from my church to help me take care of her that day. Even to help me into the shower, it was that bad.
@embracemthrhd2 that's what I'm thinking I might have to do, I only have her use it for a little bit in each day.
@birdknees79 Oh man. I don't want to delay her in anyway. But my back is starting to give out, so I don't know what to do. Perhaps I let her use it for a short while during the day while I catch a break.
My daughter had walkers and jumpers, everything and walked at 9.5 months still
Half my kids used a walker and half didn’t....they all started walking around the same age 🤷♀️
I didn't have a walker for my DD but I did have a floor Jonny jumper I put her in every once in a while just to keep her occupied so I could get some stuff done. In my opinion I don't think they should be used as a source of teaching them to walk and they shouldn't be left in them for long periods of time I look at them more as a toy.
I only put my daughter in her walker to feed her lol otherwise she's crawling all over the place in standing up on her own and walking along furniture. She is only 8 months tho.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
TWW!!
2dpo and on the tww journey. Anyone on the same dpo or close? Haven't decided if I will test at 12dpo or just wait and see if she shows up!!
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
The walkers where you sit them inside hinder them. The ones they have to pull up and push are no problem. My daughter used that and walked by 8/9 months.
