Baby Milestones

Do you check the milestone chart and compare your baby to it?  I am so competitive and love when he scores advanced or is a month ahead.

    No, I don't compare. Although I have several friends/family members who are experienced with development, and I do feel proud when they say LO's motor skills seem advanced.

    I don't compare either.  Auds is ahead in some ways and behind in others, and I'm fine with it.  Although I am weirdly competitive with myself about how much milk I can pump in a day.  My best is 23 ounces in 8 hours and I was so proud.  I'm such a dork.  Stick out tongue

    Not usually. The older she gets, I'm realizing that she is early in some things and totally late in others, but she eventually completes them. I was at a point when I thought she would never roll - did finally at six months - and never get good at tummy time and pushing up with her hands - also six months.

    I don't compare either.  He is ahead in a lot of things, but behind in things as well.  Because I can be OCD about stuff I try not to over analyze.  He is happy and healthy and everything will come in time.

    I'm happy when he meets them, but I am not competitive at all.

    I don't compare milestones, but I do compare how many oz that he eats vs other babies. That's just because he's on the low end of the chart. lol

    I also compete with myself about boob juice. My best was yesterday at 32oz.

    Dayum. That's some serious milking.

     

    OP, I don't drive myself crazy about it.  I try not to get all crazy when I hear about crawling, teething, cruising babies.  I remind myself that DS is advanced in some things, and other things he's about average.    

    I figure, better to curb that competitive edge now than end up making my kid miserable because he thinks he can't do anything good enough to make me happy.  FYI: NOT saying that's what you'll do at all.
