Should I be concerned that my 4 month old is not interested in any toy? I tried getting her different types with different textures etc but none seems to sparkle any interest

Totally normal. 4 month olds are still glorified blobs.

Each baby is different, celebrate the things your baby does do! :) That’s what I’m trying to do with my almost 4 month old that doesn’t want to roll over. Lol

Have you tried the black and white/high contrast books and toys?

Yes, that’s one of the first toys I bought. No interest whatsoever..

My 5mo seems to do best when I teach her how to play with the toy and talk excitedly about it (over and over…)

We have a lot of dialogue like:
Oooh listen to that crinkle! Do you hear the crinkle! The butter fly wing crinkles when mommy touches it. Can you do it? Here let me show you. Look! You are crinkling the butterfly! Good crinkling! This is a fun toy. Can you do it again?

Fwiw she is equally happy to hold and scrunch and lick a burp cloth instead of playing with a toy, so….??? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hi! I’m a young professional with less than 2 years experience, started a new job 1.5 months ago. I’m having quite some difficulties on balancing out my response time to tasks. While I act incredibly fast if not immediately with some, I sometimes take 1-2 weeks with couple of hours worthy ones. Sometimes I ignore, procrastinate or simply other more urgent things come up to increase the delay. Also I work with 3 managers in my team which doesn’t help with expectations nor guidance. Any tips pls?

Need advice, my brother and his wife have a three month old and aren't the most cautious parents with my nephew.

Granted, the water came up to his chest and his head was angled out of the tub, bit still. Also, they leave him on the couch and walk away. I'm worried that when he starts rolling over he'll fall off because they will have developed this bad habit...
