Child wanting me to repeat what they’ve said

My 3.5y/o has started asking us to repeat what she’s said or certain words from the conversation e.g. “I played with Ethan at pre school today” followed by “can you say Ethan?” when we then repeat it back she just say yes and carries on. Sometimes it just a key word or other times the whole sentence. I don’t if it’s...

Feet coming out of sleepsuits

My little one is 6 months and 3-6 is too small for her now. She’s in 6-9 however she will wriggle her legs out of them every night. She will squeeze her legs through the poppers or if it’s zipped she’ll just bring her legs up out of the leg holes. Did anyone else’s baby do this and have any advice? She must be so un...

Toddler behaviour

We have a nearly 3 year old and his little life has been turned upside down as we welcomed his new little brother on Monday! He has adjusted really well but over the past couple of days he has been very demanding! “Give me my toy back now daddy!” “Make my lunch now mummy!” This is such unusual behaviour for him!...

Hair touching fetish

But man it gets annoying.. anyone have any ideas how to ...

How to stop a behaviour

My 11m boy always hits the fish tank really hard. I've tried say no and shaking my head but that makes him really happy and shake his head back. I've tried sitting him down with hands on knees but he gets back up to continue. I've carried him away 100 times over he's straight back. I've tried avoiding eye contact to...

Not Babbling

My babe just turned seven months, and I feel like she isn’t babbling/talking enough. She is definitely in her velociraptor stage, and likes to screech. Other than that, she doesn’t “talk “ much. Anyone else’s babes like that?? I’m worried, we have friends whose babies were saying mama and dada at this stage and babb...

No

Do your babies understand the word “NO” ? Cause my baby seems to do things out of spite when I tell her not to do something . She never listens , determined to do whatever she wants .

How can I stop the whining?

Getting ready for a walk is a nightmare, my dog just knows, and he cries the whole time, I try and ignore it and just get us ready as quick as I can but it really over stimulates me and stresses me out to the point where I just want to scream

Own room

Anyone else feel judged when you say your LO isn’t in their own room yet? (8 months old) & also feel so much pressure to make sure they follow a certain routine etc but can’t quite get it right and then also feel judged for that?! Hate it 🥺

What’s the proper etiquette when flying with a toddler and having them watch an iPad or phone, with or without sound? I know I will try getting him used to headphones but he hates hats so I imagine he won’t want to wear headphones, so at

that point do I just annoy everyone around us with his shows or do I mute everything and hope he still stays entertained?

No walking after first steps

Our son took his first independent steps two weeks ago and we were over the moon! But since then he has not been interested in walking and just crawls everywhere. Did anyone else LO do the same and if so how long before they tried to walk again?
