My kiddo is hyper mobile. He started crawling at just over 11 months. He’s almost 13 months now and is raising himself on his knees like he wants to be up but still doesn’t have the strength to stand etc. it’s a bit stressful but like you I’m just going with the flow. My first was walking by one so it’s a whole new world!

I'm still breastfeeding my 2.5 yo strong headed son and I know sleep would be a million times better. He's also got infant Sleep Apnea so his sleep is ridiculous. I look forwards to the day when I can sleep again.

My eldest was 2.5y when he started walking without holding on. He could walk from about 1year but wasn't interested in walking alone. We worked with the HV. He's now running everywhere! Also a mum of 2. It's hard but definitely easier around the time they wean onto solids. Self care is definitely important! I'm getting better x

I’m obsessed with your hair right now- it’s the healthiest it’s looked. It’s just so bouncy! It’s making me want to have layers put in! Love the video as always as I find you so relatable and similar to me in a lot of ways. I reckon we’d get on very well and would share a lot of the same opinions and Parenting styles 😊👌

A way to keep your calm and to distract the kids when you are all over stimulated/meltdowns etc is to sing! Sing a song that George might know, even a random/made up song. It's a technical us teachers use and it works really well!.

My son was exactly the same as Hallie! He is now 20 months, began walking very unsteadily at 18 months. Definitely hyper mobile - he'd be so limp when held as a baby and his wee joints are so loose. He is now running! I did so much research and terrified myself. It was all for nothing

That magnesium did nothing for us so we tried another brand (gummy version £10 Amazon) and it’s way better. It’s double the magnesium and the recommended allowance. The one you have, MightyKids, is quite low in magnesium. Just letting you know if you ever want to change due to it being expensive or it stops working

So glad to hear Hallies thumbs are untucking and she's cracking on with the bum shuffle! Your have such a healthy mindset on her development. I scared myself and was in constant flight/flight for a good three or four months worrying about my daughter's development after a traumatic birth. I definitely do still worry, but am no longer being dr google, accepting some uncertainty (as you would have woth any childs development), hoping for the best etc Hope it all continues to go well 😊

I'm pretty certain my son has hypermobility as he didn't crawl until he was around 1, and he didn't walk until he was about 17 months old. I'm hypermobile, as well as my mum and brother. I hadn't even though that could be the reason he was later than others until you first mentioned it a while ago now. I just thought he was a slow walker. So I wouldn't worry about it, Halle will crawl and walk when she's ready 🙂 Absolutely agree with speaking to a HV with any worries though! I've been worried that my son's speech is behind where it should be and after 6 months of waiting, he's finally been diagnosed with glue ear, so he hasn't been able to hear properly! He'll be getting a temporary hearing aid tomorrow as the waiting list for grommets could be a year where we are which would bring us up to when he starts school and we don't want him falling further behind in the meantime.

My 6 year old is autistic and adhd I’ve been looking at trying this magnesium for a while because currently he’s prescribed melatonin and I would love to get him off that he’s also hypermobile so very restless thank you for sharing this. I will be purchasing some of this. X

The new government funding is great for some parents but for me personally it leaves me at a disadvantage as I'm job hunting so rely on the full funded hours for my son...however from Sept I will have to pay some of the hours which I cannot afford to do..unless I get lucky and get a job ASAP because I'm going stir crazy 😂

Hi shan ❤ I'm really struggling with my 2 year old she never sleeps through she wakes up in the night wanting to get in my bed and stupidly I let her but it's the only way I can rest! She's quite full on in the day like being clingy and constantly saying mommy naps are out of the window and if she ever does fall asleep in the car we im buggered she won't be sleeping till 9 also she refuses to feed herself now she always wants me! Do you have any advice? ❤ sending love to you xxxxxx

Unfortunately we live in a day of age where parents can't wait to put their babies in their own rooms at 6 months onwards and we made to think cry it out method is okay.... We are the only species that don't sleep with our children and wonder why they have anxiety and don't sleep well. When they been used to sleeping within us..... Don't beat yourself up. They will eventually sleep through most teenagers won't get out their beds and your soon be moaning they wasting their days sleeping 🤣

Don’t let anyone let you believe baby and toddlers sleep through and well. My son is 2.5 and has never ever slept through the night. All his friends are the same. We cosleep so he goes to sleep in our bed and we join him later on. It’s okay. It works for us and we’ve accepted he’ll not sleep through for many more years to come. But it will happen one done, so don’t worry ❤

I think Halle will do it in her own time, don’t worry about it. but if she is diagnosed with cerebral palsy, horse riding is the best thing for helping her to strengthen her legs and back, and it will help her to walk normally, through my experience. What ever you do, don’t let her go for surgery to brake her legs and to reset them, as people have had it done and seem to be a lot worse later on in their life I.e arthritis and other problems. See your options first in nature ways before you make a big decision. Still speak to a doctor about it as every case is different but I would still get a second opinion.

If you don’t go back to work you have to pay back your occupational maternity pay. I guess if you make enough from social media you’ll be able to pay it off and not have to go back to work after the 1 year.
