Not talking yet

I’m unsure if i should reach out to HV for this. But my 14 month old still hasn’t said any words. He babbles, saying mama dada baba but he doesn’t link them to anything, just random. He was also a very late babbler, at 9/10 months was his first babble. I’m really concerned he’s speech delayed and i’m trying so much...

Laughing

My daughter turned 5 months a few days ago. She’s laughed on the odd occasion but still yet to have a proper proper belly laugh, she also isn’t ticklish 🙃 so find it very hard to make her laugh as I’m clearly not funny enough lol. Is anyone else’s babies the same age the same? Wasn’t sure if this was normal as my…

Any advice for pinching?

My two-year-old who is not quite communicating yet is now pinching when he is upset and on occasion will bite if he’s mad enough. Seems to be out of frustration, but I’m struggling to figure out ways to correct it. (We do not hit him even if it’s “just a tap on the hand”)

Are my baby's arms just for decoration?!🤣

When should my little girl be reaching for toys? She will hold things for a little while if I place them in her hands but she has absolutely no interest in grabbing things herself. She is mesmerised by sensory toys and will stare at them, smiling and "talking" but has no interest in reaching for them! She reaches f...

What do you say when your son says, "I hate you!"?

He says it a minimum of 12 times a day. This morning, I told him how that makes me really sad when he says that. So his tally marks in the last 5 minutes is 28 I-hate-yous. It's seriously lost its initial shock at this point, but it's ruining my overall mood for the day. I'm just a deer in headlights when he says it...
