Hey, my boy is having a bad few weeks of hitting every child/baby he sees and some adults. Tried saying hands down, gentle hands etc Worked getting him to high five instead for one day but now he’s gone back to hitting. Most parents are ok as they all go through that stage but it’s hard going to playgroup and he ju...

My little one is 14 months and has been cruising furniture since around 10 month old. Still showing no signs to start walking anytime soon and prefers to drop and crawl.

Hi mums. So my 4 year old is doing very well with his sound blending and is able to sound out and read 3 letter and 4 letter words sentences. However everything must be in lower case. He struggles to sound blend for example “Dog” or “Big” but will easily read “dog” and “big”. The capital letters throw him off as the...

If yes when did they start? And what makes them laugh?

My daughter has been crying in her sleep, loudly and persistently for three nights in a row. One night, she said she had to go to the bathroom and then was fine after she did. One night she couldn't tell me what was wrong. One night she complained of leg pain. Anyone else experience this? Should I be concerned?

Everyday between around 5pm and 11pm my baby (one month old) gets extremely fussy and starts screaming and not much can calm him down. Has anyone experienced this and if so what helped?

Almost every conversation I have with one of my older family members about NOT wanting to hit my children they laugh in my face and mock me. What do y’all think? Is hitting children a requirement for good parenting and effective discipline? *spanking, “popping,” whatever you want to call a direct hit meant to shock...

We have been throught it he had glue ear for over 12 months so they thought that was the reason he wasn't talking in three weeks he will be tested for everything as he has noise and food sensory issues guess I'm wondering do you kids only not speak or do they have other issues I hope no one takes offence by the way ...

Help! My little one does do tummy time but spends more time sat, and trying to reach for toys/move forward from sitting and can’t quite figure out how to move his legs to move into a crawl position. He has also taken to wanting to stand up, he can bear his weight on his legs for a good 20 seconds (albeit wobbly). ...

Hey my 11 month old has just had a few 1 hour sessions at nursery and I dropped him off for an hour today he was very unsettled and cried a fair bit 😓 when does it get better?

So on 2 occasions when my one year old has been messing around (hitting etc) my husband told her to stop because she’s being “bad” I told him not to say that to her because she will think he’s calling her bad. We didn’t think she would remember the word but a few months went by and one day, I took something off her ...

Hi, so recently my 3.5 year old has been acting out at nursery. Pushing peers, scratching teachers. He’s also been acting out at home biting/nipping me & also hitting and pulling his 6 month old sisters hair. He has never in his life hit or done anything like this, he is such a kind hearted little boy & would never ...

Hi everyone So to get straight to the point...my partner doesn't make that kiss 'sound' when he kisses me on the lips. He just places his lips on mine and then walks away. He's always done this and it became a bit of a running joke as to why he didn't do it, but (and I know this is VERY different) when he kisses o...

My 10 month old isn’t doing any of the above. No other worries - he’s crawling, pulling to stand, babbling etc. Can’t help but worry that most other babies seems to be doing at least one of these by now?!

My little one is a super active boy, loves walking and climbing. But his comms isn’t coming along as quickly. He’s still to say his first intentional word (he forever babbles). He knows some instructions but just doesn’t seem in a rush to speak. We read and sing and I encourage him a lot and I don’t want to put unn...

Every time I try to get my 18 month old to use crayons and color he always ends up having a tantrum Cuz he takes off with the crayon and tries to eat it and of course I stop him. He doesn’t sit still long enough to enjoy it. He does a few scribbles but that’s it. Is this normal for his age?

My baby just turned 9 months and is just sitting and rolling but not pulling himself or crawling, doctor send us to therapy. Any moms going tru the same. 😫

My boy has just learnt how to “sing” we have been hearing the blippi songs on repeat for the last couple days and it’s hilarious and cute. And by sing I mean screaming the words like “fiiiiiiirrrreeeee truuuuuuuck” 😂🥹

Are you still using your changing table? My little boy is so active now I think it might be time to change him and get him dressed on floor, feels like a big milestone though 🥲

Anyone else's 2 year old love lining up things, in particular cars? I know it can be a developmental phase however he also gets really angry if one is moved by us. Should i be worried?
