I feel like my baby is shy

At baby classes I feel like there’s quite a big difference between my LO and other babies her age (7m). She is very chilled and quiet, like she sits there just taking it all in, other babies are more vocal, screeching and constantly rolling about and trying to play etc, my girl is more vocal at home and wants to p...

Hyper fixation causing severe distress

My 2 year old son is absolutely obsessed with itsy bitsy spider, Spider-Man and spiders in general. It’s been this way for about 3/4 months. It’s been two days of me limiting how much we listen to/ sing the song and he’s doing much better with that than the previous times I’ve tried to cut back. However, now his toy...

Terrible 2s. Is this normal or is my daughter a tiny monster?

She is just a ball of giggles and sunshine one day, followed by 3 days of being unpredictable and unhinged... and then sweet and calm again for a few days. On the unpredictable and unhinged days, she cries or screams no matter how you interact with her, be that telling her "no" when she throws toys or plays too roug...

Screaming in car seat

4 month old has started screaming every time he gets put into his car seat. It’s awful screaming, like red in the face and choking himself so it’s horrible for me to see. Is there any tips on helping this? He never used to do this, a little grumble initially but quickly got over it, but this is a whole other level

Feeling touched out?

Does anyone else feel really touched out? My 1 y old is so clingy and I find it so overwhelming having her constantly attached to me. I love her so much, but I am constantly feeling like I can’t breath as she is clinging to me.

Baby's constantly doing this🤷‍♀️😂

My LO is constantly making this noise, like an attempt at raspberry's? But it's now the only noise he'll make, if we talk to him this is how he responds🤣. I'm assuming it's normal? Haha Anyone else??

Toddler saying "it's mine"

Hey everyone. My 2 and a half year old used to be SO good at sharing, but recently a lot of kids kept snatching off him and he's suddenly switched, understandable tbh. He now keeps shouting "it's mine" and it's kinda grinding on me. How can I stop him saying this? We're telling him to take turns which he does eventu...

Kisses rant

Anybody else MIL ignore what you ask? My baby is 7 weeks old, and my MIL kissed her. I'm now super anxious about RSV and other things as she's completely unvaccinated. My partner, whose I've never had any issues with just keeps saying, "she'll be fine" and didn't say anything. I'm so upset
