So I have a 97th centile babe and he’s a chunky boy - he’ll be 10 weeks on Monday and he was weighing in at 14lbs7 last Thursday at his immunisation apt so I reckon he’ll be over 15lbs now (EBF). But my god my knees are so sore, I think from carrying him, rocking him, standing up with him from the sofa/chair, bendin...

Ladies how is everyone dealing with tantrums? My little boy is constantly throwing violent tantrums when he doesn’t get what he wants or something is frustrating him. I understand he’s feeling big emotions and that’s the only way he can express himself but I’m starting to really not enjoy our time together which m...

My little one has been army crawling for about a month now . She does go on hands and knees and rocks but no moving . Do some baby’s skip hand and knees crawling if they army crawl ?

Am I the only one dealing with this? It seems as though when me and my fiancée are together, my son is more defiant rather than when it’s just the two of us alone. He is such a well mannered boy and then when his father comes around, all hell break loose! We show him the most attention so I tend to think that it cou...

Are your little ones recognising colours yet??? He was a quick learner with walking etc but he doesn’t know his colours yet or shapes etc now I’m feeling he’s so behind on this😭😭😭

Is anyone else’s little one not saying anything he’ll shout babababa and say mama when he’s said but that is literally it. He loves climbing, loves water/swimming, loves eating all foods, will hand me food to open for him / hand me his empty milk bottle when he wants another. But doesn’t say words and wants to bite ...

My 17 month old finally can recognise that i am “Mama” - points or taps me when asked where is mama. He also says mama whenever he sees me as i enter the room but he still hasn’t called out mama to call me or get my attention. Is this normal? Have anyone’s kid done it differently?

Are there any other December babes not walking yet? Every time I see another baby the same age or younger walking I just feel like I’m letting my boy down, I haven’t done enough for him. He crawls and shuffles, walks along furniture and has just started to stand up unaided but won’t go for it and walk.

September 2023 mom here. My son isn't talking yet which has me very concerned. He also isn't pointing. He doesn't seem to have any other delays but I am still very worried about autism

Are all our babies now in there tantrum era 🫠 how are people managing it? I’m finding it very overstimulating and am getting a bit snappy so need to find better ways to self regulate.

In the last few weeks our daycare has let us know our son has been getting more physical with the other kids, hitting, scratching, climbing on top of them. Obviously our daycare says it’s normal behavior but I want to try to help it. He has an 8 week old brother at home so we don’t see this at home. We’ve actually...

Anyone else’s baby hit 15 months and started screaming non stop and throwing tantrums!! I thought these didn’t start till 2 🙈🙈🙈

So my son has always had certain behaviors and is a very rough child. Since turning 4, they have gotten worse. At the time I didn't say anything to his doc cause I didn't give much thought to it. Now it is hitting the point where he needs help of some sort. I made a doc about to talk about it but should I also reach...

This is my 1st so idk how most toddlers are but my 18 mo old has recently become very tantrum prone and screams/cries with any minor inconvenience. His sleep is super messed up too which came out of nowhere so idk if there's any correlation there but wtf lol. He's super clingy and just super easily upset where befor...

Anyone getting alot of calls in the first couple weeks? My son has only been going since beginning of last week and I keep getting calls. I feel so guilty does it get better/easier? Xx

Is anyone baby talking? I feel like my LO is so behind. He knows bubble, dog and blue.

Guys. Is anyone else’s toddler demanding, and winging ALL OF THE TIME! my toddler WILL NOT STOP CRYING and SCREAMING at EVERY. SINGLE. INCONVENIENCE. for example, he cried cos he wanted my food, I offer food, he doesn’t want the food so he screams and screams and doesn’t stop. I’m struggling big time! He’s testing m...

How old were your little ones when they said their first word, first steps, first crawl and first independent sitting ?

Hi, during tummy times, my 11 wks old tends to keep pushing herself upwards like wanting to crawl? She also pushes against thing (the end of the moses basket for example) and ends up moving upwards. Has anyone else noticed this with their little one?

So my bby daddy was here yesterday playing with our daughter. He picks her up and stars spinning in circles (on hard floor) so I said “don’t do that because it’s a hard floor and if she falls she will hurt herself” He looked at me and laughed then continued to spin her around. Honestly made me so mad I wanted to tel...
