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

13 month old biting

I’m at a loss and I have no clue what to do. My son is 13 months old and when he gets frustrated he just attacks he starts hitting or biting or even pulling hair and we tell him no and that it’s not ok. He is very emphatic so as soon as anyone says the word no or ow he starts crying. He will give hugs and then do it...

I have a crawler

My little boy crawled for the first time last night, and now he won’t stop, honestly it felt like such a proud mom moment. He was born the 29th of July, and I’ve seen other babies crawling for ages and he’s finally done it

Doesn’t like putting on certain clothes (long, sleeves, new fur vest given as a gift, puffy jacket but eventually puts it on etc) Doesn’t like getting hands “dirty” with paint, water on hands or arms at times unless ...

Still putting everything in mouth, autism and adhd concerns

My toddler is still putting everything in her mouth and she tends to chew on her fingers a lot. Is this normal at this age or should they have outgrown this by now? She’s exhibiting some concerning behaviours like shrugging her shoulders becoming irritable and sleepy during the day. She’s not sleeping through the ni...

Do 2 year olds lie, maliciously?

Hey guys I'm posting incognito because I've came across my sisters on this platform, don't want them going back to my mother about it before I get a chance to approach her. But anyways, the past 3 or 4 weeks now my son is point blank ignoring everything I say when he normally listened beforehand. He'll listen to hi...

Toddler tantrums with new baby

I’m not sure if it’s related but our toddlers behaviour has gotten much worse this week. She’s 28m and baby is 10w. Will her tantrums affect baby ?

Not crawling

Morning! Just wondered if anyone else was in the same boat. 10mo LG has absolutely zero desire to crawl. My eldest was on hands and knees at 9mo so this is new to me. He didn’t walk unaided until nearly 16m so I know it all varies but the 1 year review questionnaire we have to fill…well I won’t be ticking much atm…

Update

I posted this a while back (says 2 weeks ago) and she started walking about a week ago! Don’t get me wrong she still mostly crawls and we still have to encourage the walking however she’s definitely taken her first steps, and she’s done ‘a few steps’ (10ish) loads of times now. No running yet but it’s definitely a s...
