Baby developement app/onlinecourse/book etc

[OlympicBlue]

Looking for an app or online course, paid for is fine about how to hold a baby, what to do to help and not do etc to not start them enveloping wrong etc. More than just “do tummy time” but looking for specifics to do and not do and different ages. Havgin seen things pop up on Facebook about how not to hold them etc, would like something to follow.

Bump as Facebook is starting to advertise different ones to me!

I would think your health visitor would be the best option for those types of questions in the early weeks/months.

I’m not looking for someone checking in twice a year in development, but more the apps that suggest things to do every day at certain ages etc. Things not to do. I’m interested in not using a bumbo etc for they can sit themselves for example.

Ask your HV for app suggestions….HVs use apps for everything these days

I was hoping to have something ready to use from the beginning rather than waiting for the health visitor and rather some real world experience advice than the health visitor judging by alot of the posts on here they are not rated very highly/deemed to give incorrect advice!

Now you are talking shit…..so you are basing what is posted about a few people as a judgement on a whole profession🙄
just use Google
this is my last post on this time wasting thread

Thank you for your posts and no one made you reply. Surely every question ever listed on MN people can just google. The forum would stop if people did that. You don’t know the reason people don’t “just google”.
Not sure how wanting to get sorted before I meet the HV after my baby is born is a bad thing? You don’t know my (horrible and very specific) circumstances as to why this needs sorting now.
I was not slating you as a HV/a whole profession. Just asking mums for advice as generations of people have done before.

I hope you have a better day tomorrow. Peace and love.

Are you doing NCT or similar? The real basics will probably be covered there. The rest you will pick up.

Don't plan too much in advance - if you sign up to a programme that says 'get babies to sleep by doing X', and your baby doesn't work that way, you'll have wasted your money

There's a million books on baby development, why does it need to be an app?

I’m finding the book “Cribsheet” by Emily Oster very useful, and our NCT class covers early development. Otherwise all babies are different-unless there’s serious concerns about delays I’m just waiting to see how it goes, so much is instinct and what feels right. I don’t like the idea of apps, seems too rigid and if you’re inputting info about your baby; you have no idea what happens with the data
