Does anyone else have a ‘survivalist’ baby? Is this how babies are supposed to be? When my son was a newborn we tried having him sleep with something that smelled like me, but he woke in the night whimpering (for the first time, he was 4 weeks old) because he had my scent but not me. As he became mobile he started to scavenge food off the floor (things he had dropped earlier) and eating those before coming to us when he was hungry. He also doesn’t like being in his crib unless he has a sippy of water with him, Once he learned how to open the toilet and that it had water in it I found him ‘drinking’ from the toilet: sticking his hand in, sucking the water off, repeat.
Is my baby the strange one because he tries to ‘fend for himself’ instead of go to us immediately, or is this normal?
Miztery, that was the first time he ever got into the toilet. I promise that the bathroom doors are always kept closed now.
