Traveling soon with my 6 month old baby, do you bring baby back to hotel for naps?

Or can just nap in the carrier/ stroller? Thanks

how to tell if a kid is happppppyyyyyyyy

I just had a really enlightening conversation with my friend, who happens to be a pediatrician, and I wanted to share some valuable insights she gave me about understanding our little ones' emotions. According to my friend, one of the key indicators of a child's emotional well-being is observing their sleep and eating habits, body language, facial expressions, and communication. - Sleep and Eating Habits: Paying attention to our children's sleep patterns and eating habits can provide valuable clues about their emotional state. Healthy sleep and eating routines are often signs of a happy and content child, while disruptions in these areas may indicate underlying stress or discomfort. - Body Language: Our children's body language can speak volumes about how they're feeling. Relaxed and open body language, with engaged movements, is typically a sign of happiness and comfort. Conversely, tense or withdrawn body language may indicate stress or unease. - Facial Expressions: Facial expressions are another important indicator of our children's emotions. A bright-eyed smile and laughter often signify happiness, while a furrowed brow or downturned mouth may signal distress or discomfort. - Communication: How our children communicate with us is crucial for understanding their emotional needs. Whether it's through babbling, gestures, or words, effective communication can help us gauge their level of happiness and address any concerns they may have. By being mindful of these aspects of our children's behavior, we can better support their emotional well-being and create a nurturing environment where they feel safe and loved. I hope you find these insights as valuable as I did! Feel free to share your own experiences or thoughts!

is my baby normal?

Mom, I'm worried. Why doesn't my baby nurse frequently like other babies? I heard that newborns can breastfeed every 2 hours, even every hour... My baby is irregular. Sometimes, he can sleep for up to 4 hours... then breastfeed. But sometimes, it's after 1 hour, then he breastfeeds. I can't seem to grasp the same nursing pattern. Is this normal? help #seriouslyasking

During newborn first 2- 3 months must either dreamfeed or wake baby up to feed even when theyre sleeping soundly.

flapping hands indicate autism?

After reading an article... it said that if a child enjoys flapping hands (repetitive hitting movements), it's one of the signs of autism. Is that true... I sometimes see my child doing movements like that. But he's only 7 months old? People around me say not to worry too much because he's still a baby and still exploring his motor skills. But as a mother, I'm really worried. Any advice or anyone have similar experiences?

These aren’t only symptoms to confirm. Please talk to your PD while development checking.

baby skill

I’m a first-time mom, and my baby is now 7 months old. I’m curious to know what skills are typical for babies in the 6-9 months age range. I want to make sure my little one is on track and to know what milestones to look forward to. Could you share what your babies were doing at this age? Things like motor skills, cognitive development, and any cute or surprising abilities they started to show. I’d love to hear about your experiences and get some insights into what’s considered normal for this stage.

MIL wants to give my baby honey

I’m really angry and worried right now because my in-laws keep insisting on giving my 7-month-old baby honey. They believe it’s healthy and beneficial, but I know it can be dangerous for babies under 1 year old. Despite me telling them multiple times about the risks, they don’t seem to take me seriously. I’ve explained that honey can cause infant botulism, which is a serious condition caused by bacteria in honey that a baby’s immature digestive system can’t handle. I’m at my wits’ end because they keep pushing this, and I’m scared for my baby’s safety. It’s causing a lot of tension and stress in the family.

dangerous sleeping pattern?

I've heard that irregular sleep can affect a baby's health and even their brain development. Here's what's going on: my baby doesn’t have a consistent sleep schedule. Some nights she sleeps for long stretches, while other nights she wakes up frequently. During the day, her naps are all over the place – sometimes short, sometimes long, and at varying times. She seems cranky and fussy during the day, which makes me think she’s not getting enough quality sleep. I’ve read that proper sleep is crucial for brain development at this age, and I’m worried that her irregular sleeping pattern might cause health problems or affect her development. Have any of you experienced similar issues with your babies? How did you manage to establish a consistent sleep routine?

sign baby is tired

how do you know if a baby is tired? Sometimes she starts crying, and I think it might be because she’s tired, but my sister-in-law keeps insisting that she just wants to play more. I’m worried that I might be missing the signs of tiredness and pushing her too much. What are the clear signs that a baby this age is tired? Here are some things I've noticed, but I’m not sure if they’re related to tiredness: She rubs her eyes and gets a bit fussy. Sometimes she yawns or her movements become slower. She seems less interested in her toys and more irritable. Are these signs of tiredness, or could it be something else? How do you balance playtime and rest? I want to make sure she’s getting the right amount of both.

motor development

I'm feeling a bit worried about my baby's motor development. My little one is 4.5 months old, and I've noticed some things that are starting to concern me. During tummy time, she struggles to lift her head and doesn't push up on her arms like I've seen other babies do. Oh and also, she hasn't shown any interest in reaching for or grabbing toys. When I put a toy in her hand, she doesn't seem to grasp it firmly... Are these signs something I should be worried about at this stage?

is my baby sleeping pattern healthy?

My baby is now 3 months old, and I have some concerns about her sleeping pattern. As a first-time parent, I just want to make sure everything is okay and that she's getting the rest she needs. Currently, my baby's sleep schedule looks something like this: She sleeps for 3-4 hours at a time during the night, waking up to feed. During the day, she takes several naps, ranging from 30 minutes to 2 hours. Sometimes, she seems to nap frequently and other times she's awake for longer stretches and seems a bit fussier. Is this normal for a baby her age? Should I be doing something different to help her develop a more consistent sleep pattern? Any tips or experiences you could share would be greatly appreciated.
