Is this normal panicking so much 😭

10 month old over the past week I’d say has suddenly started doing this (in the video) he drops his head and sort of puts his eyes up if that makes sense (see video). Looking for advice or something if anyone else’s babies are doing similar. So scared he’s having a absent seizure 😭

2 month old - crying outbursts

Please help! Last night and today my baby just keep having horrible crying outbursts where he looks in pain and only putting him on my boob will soothe him. We’ve checked his temperature, nappies etc and there doesn’t seem to be a problem .. has anyone else experienced this?

Husband Working From Home

I have a 2 year old and a 2 month old so needless to say, it gets rather loud at times. However my husband works from home and the crying and yelling interrupts his work. Any tips on how to soundproof/deal with the situation?

Now I know it could be a LONG time before he says words and I get that, but does anyone else’s child simple grunt and moan ALL DAY long? I am not trying to sound mean...

Breaking wind in public

I know this is a funny one but I really want to know opinions. 😅 If your child (or your partner, for that matter 🙄) loudly breaks wind in public, what do you do?

Talking?

My son just turned 2 on the 10th. He’s healthy and happy but I don’t feel like he’s talking as much as he should be? But it’s also been a few years since I’ve had a 2 year old and idk if I’m just outta the loop haha. He will say maybe 3-4 words that’s it the rest of it is him showing me what he wants or him “scream...
