Has anyoneās one year old gone through a phase of when they meet new people/people they donāt see oftenā¦. Kinda staring at them then blinking slowly and frowning.
My friend came round yesterday who baby wotsit has only met a few times and he did it in front of her and sheās banged on all evening about seizures and autism.
He does it every now and again at the mo, not sure if itās when heās tiredā¦. Or a kinda nervous shy thing when people come up to him all enthusiasticā¦.Hes in a clingy, shy kinda place atm.
All I can find online is that peopleās toddlers went though a phase of it and they never knew whyā¦.. or that it can be a nervous/anxious thing.
Just be nice to hear if sometimes little one did it and itās just a normal little phase

My now 4 year old did it, sometimes he still does it and heās 4. He used to always blink and frown and turn his head from people he didnāt know - now heās a bit better at meeting new people depending on his mood, if heās a bit grumpy he frowns and turns his head away. If you think about it, their meeting people they donāt know and arenāt used to or recognise so it must be a bit daunting! Some babies are just shy babies it doesnāt mean itās a sign of autism
My 1 year old does that too and I thought to myself numerous times āis that a seizure?ā Because heās very blank when he does it then shuts his eyes and suddenly is āback in thenroomā kind of thing but itās definitely a choice heās making to do it. especially when meeting new people or unfamiliar people.
I sometimes wave my hand in front of his face or get silly and say his name and he usually smirks whilst still staring.
My son is also in a major shy separation anxiety stage atm.
What knickers are c section mums wearing please? All my pre section knickers sit on my scar line and irritate it. Iāve been fine with the big granny pants whilst Iām wearing a pad but Iām over that now and the VPL they give me is not pretty. Any ideas?
Anyone done TumbleTots? I've been umming and ahhing about signing up for them since LO was about 7 months old but now he's confidently walking I'm thinking about it again. There's one that fits nicely around nursery and my work as it's on my day off just after nap time but it's like... Ā£67 for 7 classes plus Ā£27 joining fee 
so Ā£94 for 7 weeks of a 45 minute class which I can't guarantee he'll enjoy!
so Ā£94 for 7 weeks of a 45 minute class which I can't guarantee he'll enjoy!I've pretty much exclusively worn granny pants for almost 5 years
You can get seam free ones that's help with the vpl though
finally organised to meet up with a babysitter this week so i can potentially get a few baby free evenings this summer and see some friends.
i feel so guilty already. itās just me and my son so i have no idea what itās like to even have an hour on my own anymore without staring at the baby monitorā¦ any advice for leaving them / questions i should ask her? sheās fully DBS checked and a grandmother with lots of childcare experience i just feel

This sounds like exactly what heās doingā¦.does it somedays/times not the otherā¦. Itās defo when heās meeting unfimilar peopleā¦. It started when this shy kinda phase startedā¦ he now does it and bursts into tearsā¦ he wasnāt doing that a month a go!
Honestly this friend came round and I feel like she was testing to see what baby wotsit could or couldnāt do and Judging. She knows how anxious I amā¦. So to throw out comments or seizures and autism.
@Ro98 Yea Iv wondered what is going on, and too have tried to get his attention and Iām able to get itā¦. So it sounds like abit of a phase they are going through! I did google and it says can be a nervous/anxious thing.
@WeepingCassandra Not done Tumble tots but our local leisure centre does one similar. Baby wotsit enjoys. Heās not walking yet but kinda crawls and climbs up the equipment.
@Greenfly125 I like the M&S Full brief no VPL microfibre pants. Come in a 5 pack. Really comfy, lovely soft material. Come up nice and high.

I like these from good old M&S https://www.marksandspencer.com/5pk-cotton-modal-high-waisted-knickers/p/clp60525754
I found last time that just as we started to think we didn't need it, we started potty training and needed it even more for all changes of clothes and stuff.
When my first started properly walking and toddling about, weād leave the pram at home and heād have his own backpack full of his stuff and Iād bring my own handbag full of stuff so I just swerved the big changing bag
Yeah about 1 - you donāt need milk etc and so change of clothes, nappies, wipes and a couple of snacks. Xx
When did you all start giving breakfast first in the morning? We still give milk first but just wondering if/when this should change?!
About 10 months! But basically because he doesnāt sleep through and so had milk in the night anyway x
My eldest is 3 and even before the wee one came along we'd still take the big bag out. Instead of being full of nappies and milk, it was full of his snacks, lots and lots and lots of snacks, and things like crayons and paper to keep him entertained if we stopped anywhere.
Hi ladies.
Looking for some advice post c section. I have had one previously but donāt remember this being a specific issue. I removed my large wound covering yesterday but where the sticky plaster has attached to my hip area it has left a friction type burn. Itās so painful I canāt even touch it. The other side isnāt so bad. Looking for a cream or something to apply to get some relief.
