Community Posts, Tips & Support on Baby Milestones

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...

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

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!

I have had an accident report today that my son has pushed a baby over at nursery and this caused them to fall and hit there head (I assume the child isn't walking as it stated they pulled themselves up at a table) and when staff tried to speak to them he then laughed at them and kicked them. This isn't the first ...

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...

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 😔

Hi mums, is your 7 weeks old responding to your voice ? All the time? My little one just turned 7 weeks today. But I just noticed today that he would be staring into the space or somewhere and won’t really look at me when I start talking to him. Or singing. He can hold eye contact and follows me when I move but just...

my little one has recently started hitting her head when she becomes frustrated or angry, i don’t know why she started doing this. i always model gentle hands and being nice to others and ourselves. has anyone else’s little one started doing this??

7mo STILL hates tummy time, cries within a few minutes and face plants, seems to struggle pushing upwards. Anyone else? Should I be worried? Otherwise developmentally all fine and sitting / bum shuffling really well!

My baby is 7.5 months old and she doesn’t like or better way to say, she doesn’t care about peekaboo game. She laughs and play with others game, but not peekaboo. I read that if she doesn’t play or like around 8 months it’s a milestone problem. Do you have any comfort stories for me? Thank you 🙏🏻 P.s she is meeting…

Anyone’s bubba getting super frustrated? I will sit him on the floor & he will end up on his tummy from moving so much & then can’t sit back up & can’t crawl yet so tries to move & gets super frustrated! Anyone experienced same issues? Not sure if I should keep sitting him back up or let him get frustrated or he won...

My son “talks” and babbles constantly!!!!! Like for hours, he will just be going on and on hahah. It’s cute, but also I’m curious if other babies are doing this as much?

So my baby girl is 7 months and she refuses to use her arms and push herself up to crawl she’ll bend her knees but won’t use arms how do I fix this

I’m really worried about my 15 month old. He doesn’t wave or clap doesn’t talk and very rarely answers his name. He doesn’t understand basic instructions like give me the ball etc. I’ve lost count how many times I’ve called the health visitor who keeps telling me he’s still very young and to just wait. Is she right?...

Hi my baby turned one on 2/3 and isn’t walking or pulling up but can stand with minimal support. I’m worried she is behind anyone else experiencing this with gross motor milestones?

My nearly 7 week old has been screaming every evening for a few hours with nothing seeming to be wrong??? She’s completely different during the day?? What’s going on? TIA
