Question

Does anyone else’s LO rub their head into your chest? Is that normal? She does it frequently. Sometimes I think it’s her rooting and also being sleepy just wondering if anyone else is going through this.

6 month old keeps slapping

Just wondering if this is some developmental thing. My baby really likes to slap everything at the moment. It started out with my hand when I was lying next to her.

How are you guys getting baby to speak more?

My daughter almost doesn't seem interested in anything more than babbling and what she already says. I can't even get her to try and say any other words. Any recommendations on words that might be easier for her to say that I can try?

I took them off of pacifiers around 6 months, but I’m starting to think that might be the best option now. Is there an...

Zoning out

My little girl is just over 4 months old and I've noticed she's been staring at one place like she's zoning out. She doesn't do it for too long but more frequently past week. Is this normal? Or should I get it checked with gp?
