Overly active 2 year old

Moaning/whining

Does this sound like moaning/whining? My friend said it doesn’t and now I’m concerned it may be vocal stimming linked to autism?

Stressed 😢

I know babies learn things at different rates but I’m so stressed out I’m up all hours of the night trying to find an answer 😢 my 15 month old seems to be delayed in a lot of things. He’s not clapping or waving but he does high five. He rarely answers to his name and has no words just occasionally babbles mama. I…

How to raise a confident girl

My 16 month old is quite a shy baby until she gets to know people/has had time to warm up to them. However I see other babies that say say hello to everyone and are so chatty. Any tips on getting her more confident?

My son keeps saying he'll make us die

So my son has started saying things like I'll make you die, I'll make you fall in the floor, I'm gonna go and get lost or he'll make us get lost or lock us in a cage with animals so they can eat us. What can I say or do to get him to stop. I'm really fed up and it's obviously upsetting. He tends to say it when he'...

Just babbling?

I don't know if I should be worried yet or not but my little boy (16 months) doesn't say many words at all yet. He can say mama, dada, yes and no, he seems to understand most instruction and what we say to him but otherwise he just babbles and talks gibberish? I find it really cute and funny but don't know what he s...

Talking and words

Does anyone know the guidelines for how many words on average a 2 year old should speak/know? I've looked online and so many different sources say different things. Some say 50, some say 100. Thank you

Bow leg?

Not sure if I’m being a Google doctor here but would anyone else see my daughter’s legs in this pic and think it’s bow leg? I don’t think it’s very pronounced but it feels there’s a curve? She’s not walking yet but confidently stands so wasn’t sure if this might be holding her back. Appreciate any thoughts / advice!

My boy is 17mo and has been walking for 2.5 months. He can still a bit wobbly on his feet. He goes to nursery and his teachers (on numerous occasions) have brought to my attention that he is wobbly on his feet and his foot tends to go inwards when walking, causing him to try over himself alot. I took him to the h...

Name Responding

Hi!! My almost 8 month old only responds to his name like 30-40% of the time. Otherwise he’s so consumed and focused on what he’s doing or the environment he doesn’t want to look for me when calling his name. Anyone else’s little one do this? It makes me anxious 😔
