Just wondering if anyone else can relate. My son is 2.5 years old he only says a few words . He had his health check and they said communication emerging in the red book. I feel sad today because I took him to a stay and play, there are younger children that seem miles ahead. Playing together, I feel like I’ve fail...

So feel really bad that my son isn't stringing any sentences together at all, I've just tried and sat down with him doing a puzzle with farm animals trying to get him involved and getting him to name me the animals but when the puzzle was coming together and starting to become a flat surface he's got distracted by h...

My little girl recently turned 1 and all she really says is 'hiya' but not all the time. She does spend most of her day babbling gibberish though. I feel like she's a little behind some of my friends little ones who can say 5-6 words. I know I shouldn't compare but it's so hard.

So my little boy is gunna be 2 at the very beginning if march. How are all your little ones doing with speech / communication? My boy says certain words etc and speaks gibberish and of course i totally understand what he means, but isn't saying much. Bare in mind I'm at home alone with him and my 4m old little ...

Anyone else’s little ones having big tantrums at the moment? She is showing all the teething signs again, is that all it is or are we actually in her tantrum era? 😅 she got 4 molars over Christmas & was not as much of a demon as she is this week!!

Anyone else's baby started doing a delightful high pitched scream just for fun. 😂

My daughter was 1 on 14th December and she’s still not walking or standing alone. She’s cruising along the furniture, basically running up and down holding onto the sofa, climbing up everywhere and standing if she’s holding onto something. She’ll walk with her Vtech walker but I still think we’re a long way off walk...

With him. Very combative about everything. I’m lost . He was so good before . I’m always yelling and overstimulated same as my husband

My 17th month old is still not walking he does stand and travel from furniture to furniture holding onto it but isn’t brave enough to take a step… His pediatrician wants therapy if not walking by his 18 month appt :(( any tips? Tricks?

I'm posting incognito because I don't want to publicly shame my husband. He's amazing but I just don't know if I can trust him with the baby anymore. We are first time parents and our son is 7 months old. We have a two story home, the main level and the basement, which is finished and has our bedrooms and gym. In or...

I let my 7month old scream inconsolably for 20mins because I just couldn’t cope with him anymore 😭😭😭😭 i’m a monster, and I hate myself. He deserves so much better 😭😭😭😭

Who’s an emotional angry mess? This kid gets upset or mad over everrrrrrything now and I can’t tell if it’s a phase or maybe the iPad is an issue (I do let him use it with rules in place) I don’t know what’s up with him! Losing my head 😭

People are always calling my 8 month old a flirt and it drives me nuts

Our second child was recently born, and our eldest is 21 months. She is being so gentle and good with the baby but her frustrations are coming out in other areas, for example she's started hitting herself in the face and head. We ask her to stop and try to hold her hands so she can't do it anymore, but I don't know ...

Is anyone else’s LOs doing the above at this age?! Its driving me insane and hurts so much. Is it a development/learning milestone? Made sure her nails are short but its still so painful and I don’t know the best way to make her stop.

Hey every my little boy isn’t crawling or walking he like to pull himself up on his toy box but when you put him on his belly he shuffles round to get picked up he does not like tummy time at all . I’m seeing everyone else babies crawling / walking and hoping he does before his first birthday in two months 😭

My son just turned 15 months old and still doesn't point at anything with his finger. He doesn't understand when I ask him to show me where something is, and he can't show me where mom or grandma is, etc. Should I be worried? I've read that this is a fundamental part of communication in toddlers and that this gestur...

I am not sure what will make my toddler interested in play .. he also doesn't have conversational speech yet. Jus a few random words here and there. What does your daily routine look like with a 27 month old?

I curse quite a bit, my husband does, but not in front of our daughter. She’s 13 now, but I’ve always cursed in front of her. My husband thinks I shouldn’t, but when I tried to stop, I failed miserably, and I eventually didn’t care enough to try and stop. So instead, I figured I’d be the one to teach her about them....

My 8 week old baby has never screamed, rarely even cries during the day, and in the last week he has picked up a stunning new habit of screaming from 8pm every. single. night. Please tell me other people have had this and it goes asap?! I’m tempted to get an evening job at this rate to avoid being home 😂
