Biting/ scratching other babies/us.

Hello there I know this is partnof babies learning however, it breaks my heart that my little boy. (11 months) made another baby cry by pulling his hair. I was there, but just a tad too slow stopping him. What do we do… when I say “no, no and stop him” he giggles. 😲

Febrile seizure

My little one had a febrile seizure and it’s the worst thing I’ve ever experienced! I don’t know anyone else who’s little one has had one, although the Dr said they are common. Has anyone experienced this with their child? Did you find it traumatising as a parent or am I being dramatic? Finding it hard to get over 😢

Communication

I keep getting shrugged off by everyone they meets my son but my gut is telling me he needs help. My son only says mama, dada. Sometimes he will try to say dog, uh oh. He can sign more, and points to many things he likes or wants. He babbles a lot and repeats the same sounds mostly when babbling. He screeches loudly...

Need some words of wisdom.

So my baby is 9 months old and for the last few months I’ve been up to my neck with anxiety about autism ( I went down a rabbit hole on tiktok) and now I’m constantly watching my baby’s every move. My first concern was she didn’t always respond to her name - sometimes she does but sometimes she doesn’t. Secondly she...

Ears ringing

So my boyfriend said his ear was ringing all day. His ear is still ringing yet he’s playing a game with ear buds in his ear. Can someone make sense of this? I don’t have tinnitus so I’m not sure if that makes sense of him to do?

How do you show your toddler you love them?

I try my best to make sure my toddler knows I love him, and I’m pretty sure he knows I do, but I realised we all have different ways of showing we love people. I’m most interested at the minute as we have a newborn and I want to make sure he’s ok. I also found this interesting article about ways that toddlers tend...

Almost 15 mos, only says “Mama”

I’ll preface this with saying I know every child develops at their own pace and would just like to hear others’ experiences. Our pediatrician mentioned at our last visit that our LO should be saying at least five words by her 15 mo appointment, which is now coming up. Right now, she only says “mama” and “dada” (kind...
