Can we not talk about chocolate because I am on a diet, as I need to lose 2.5 stone and I’m sooooo hungry 
I am really proud of myself, as I have nearly lost half a stone this week!!

Me who’s going out tonight for the first time sat eating snickers, crisps and crisp sandwiches and washing it down with coke 
Baby only has 4 teeth but he’s just started grinding them together in the daytime and OMG I want to rip my ears off and set them on fire.
It’s actually more like 2 really, my friends 2 children didn’t walk until 23 months and no doctor or HV was concerned. They’re now proper sporty 4 and 6 year olds. Tbf I rolled everywhere until I was 2 as well
Twin 1 was showing no signs she wasn’t even cruising much but just before Xmas she got up out of nowhere and started taking a few steps. I think they say around 10-18th months for walking. My friends little boy didn’t walk Til almost 2 but he when he did he was fab, not wobbly or anything!
Omg it's the worst, I hate it so much.
It's 18 months for cruising and 2 years for walking before they're concerned
Does anyone have recommendations for really dry scalp, for me? My head is covered. I don’t think it’s dandruff, I think it’s very mild psoriasis
I’ve Done 2 hair washes in this and it’s still there. It worked really well for me last time I also have dry patches on my face - side of my nose/eyebrows so if anyone can recommend a good face cream, I would be very grateful x

he defo cruises, he didn’t start crawling until 13 months tbh. I find it really hard sometimes because he has a cousin 2 weeks apart and the in laws CONSTANTLY compare but seem to forget the part where he spent months lying in a hospital bed

That’s not fair to compare every baby is different and does things at their own pace.he defo cruises, he didn’t start crawling until 13 months tbh.

Nizoral shampoo worked best for me. Mine went really bad when pregnant, I use it once a week now just to keep on top of it. I get the same patches of dry skin almost at the front of my eyebrows and on the sides of my nose and I use epaderm at night cos the smell of it is actually repulsiveDoes anyone have recommendations for really dry scalp, for me?

Link me up!!I've just seen someone on Instagram buy 1kg of mini eggs from Amazon, and let me tell you I am TEMPTED!!!!
ETA: Obviously the second thing I thought (after I need to buy that) is I must tell tattle!!!
I also need to confess… I bought four 850g bars of dairy milk over Xmas off amazon as for some reason they were selling them for £2.79. I’m currently dairy free while breastfeeding a CMPA baby, but when I’m done I’m gonna smash those bad boys in a week
hard same, but I’m 35.Tbf I rolled everywhere until I was 2 as well
soooo the baby sleep today went as follows
9.30-9.40am nap (10 min 🫣 fell asleep on me and woke up as I put him in the cot)
11.30-12 nap as we were in the car
no further naps 🫠 refused his second nap. His eyes were closing 3pm ish when i shushed him but he kept thrashing around and wouldn’t drop off. 5pm rolls round hes being crabby so I’m trying to hold off a bit as I didnt want him going to to bed at 6pm as he will be up very early in the morning. Ugh
. Are we on our way to one nap? Or is it because he had a crap first nap?
am I over thinking it

If he's anything like my kids, they close their eyes for 2 minutes, wake up and decide that's a whole napsoooo the baby sleep today went as follows

How old is he?
I would say if this is the first time, then it's just a one off.
It's when it becomes a consistent thing that they're cutting down.
All my kids have gone to bed at 6pm and it's never made them get up any earlier than if they go to bed later. Usually makes them sleep better as they're not over tired
Sounds like he is doing perfectly. The play trolleys aren’t really great for them walking as they usually tip when any weight is on the handle.
If he is cruising the sofa one thing you can do is put a moveable piece of furniture (chair, side table, footstool etc) beside the sofa. Put him at the other end and put a fave toy or snack on the moveable piece and allow him to cruise up to it. Then slowly increase the gap between the sofa and other piece of furniture so he can practice stepping further and having to turn and move, and eventually it’ll be far enough away to try and encourage a step on his own. But really sounds like he is doing well and it will come.
Do you have bad lips as well? Because mine are always so dry and crackedNizoral shampoo worked best for me. Mine went really bad when pregnant, I use it once a week now just to keep on top of it.

zThis is what we did with our eldest when she was nearly there, we called it walking bootcamp and she took her first steps just a day or two later!
Amazon girl, but the price keeps going up so I'm going to watch it. It was £10 which didn't seem bad considering I paid £4 for 250g the other dayLink me up!!
