I go to two mothers groups and with one of the groups we go to Gymbaroo too. I really enjoy them all and was always quite proud of myself for not ever feeling "jealous" or comparing too much my DD with the others. In just a few months I've quickly learnt that babies do what they want when they want and you can't compare them and it's not a race.
Up until today anyway!!! DD was very cranky last week so I took her home - sigh - today she had HEAPS of sleep before gymbaroo so I thoguht she would be in fine form but once again she was grizzly - not as bad as last week but still...
I left today feeling a bit disheartened. I don't want her seen as the "difficult" one cause I know she's not!! She's back in bed now so maybe she's just really sleepy today but still.... how do you cope with those feelings that your baby is not doing what the others are?
As far as I can tell she's developing quite nicely - certainly not in front but def not too far behind either eg.
- she's 6 months this week and can can roll from tummy to back but not the other way.
- She is just starting to reach out for things in front of her.
- She does not sit or try to stand.
