Those with little ones on the smaller size how do you cope with the comments and interference. My 16 month old was wandering around at rhyme time today (she's a confident walker but in size 6-9 months clothes, no hair, and 0-6 months pram shoe) and I let her wander and just watch and everyone's putting their arms ...

I really need some help and advice. I have a 33 month old son who is not talking or communicating as other kids of his age. I am a little worried. He is a sweet boy and never used to throw tantrums or cry. We could take him anywhere and he would have his own playtime. He is shy and doesn't like to interact but latel...

My three year old is a nightmare he's hitting,scratching and biting! changing his clothes bathing him changing his bum absolutely everything is a battle I'm at my wits end with it all he doesn't have a lot of speech so that could be part of the issue but is anyone else experiencing this?

My baby is constantly scratching her face and her head in her sleep! I use scratch mits and the built in ones over the top, her nails are never long i check them everyday. She always manages to get her fingers out somehow and scratch herself really bad. Can someone please help or give advice

How do I help build vocabulary of my LO? He doesn’t point to flash cards or pictures on charts. I know he recognises some things in his books as he makes familiar same sounds on those books

Looking for a bit of reassurance or advice. My LG will be 3 at the end of July and when we are out, she will stay in the pram for a bit until she wants to be out then she will ‘walk nicely ‘ as she puts it by holding my hand. Until she’s had enough of that and she starts running off. It makes me so anxious that she...

Am I the only one or does your 5 month old screech and scream. It started with babbling like a normal baby the baa and da and mm noises but now he will make the weirdest noises and he’ll screech me and my mom love to call him a pterodactyl bc that’s what he sounds like. I just need to know is my kid the only one doi...

Anyone else’s toddler do this ? And ignores when told no? What’s the best thing to do?

My LG is 15 months and has no sense of survival. She's constantly bumping her head on toys, tables, you name it, but she hasn't learned to be cautious yet. When is it developmentally appropriate for them to be more cautious? Is there anything I can do to guide her without making her question her ability?

Just wondering if anyone else’s little one is still struggling with pronouncing some letters? My little girl can’t really say ‘L’. She compensates by making kind of a ‘ng’ sound. She can say all of the other letters that I can think of and ‘th’ and stuff. I was just wondering if it could be something to do with her ...

I was wondering if anyone else is having this problem with their little one. I get a lot of comments about my little girl’s understanding and speech saying how much she understands/speaks (she is 18 months this week) She has just this week started putting 2 words together for example “no daddy” when she sees a man ...

Is it normal for baby to stare off into space for a second? It’s not all the time. I think I’m looking for it bc I recently started an anxiety med(wellbutttin) so now I’m already so anxious that my baby who is EBF is getting absence seizures. But it most likely is my head

Anyone else expecting their second child and noticing that their first is extra clingy? My 16 month old is sooo clingy & cranky now, I’m currently holding him to sleep when he was self-soothing from 6.5 months 🤷🏻‍♀️ Not that I’m complaining, these cuddles were very rare to come by 🥹 However, baby bump is getting…

So my LG is having trouble saying the words "I'm sorry". She stabbed me in the eye with a pencil and I was visibly upset. My partner put her in timeout as it was semi- accident and said she can leave timeout when she's ready to apologise. She was never ready. Eventually she brought her to me saying that she needs to...

It’s my sons birthday five days after due date, so I booked to take him to Legoland today (37 weeks 1 day pregnant). What I didn’t think about, yes I know quite stupid, was whether I could go on rides and I did go on the carousel and spinney spider which is basically the teacups. After going on the rides I questio...

I feel like my son should be saying more words by now. He’s 20 months

My daughter is obsessed with Bruno Mars. Only wants his singing parts in APT. Loves his lazy song. And scream sings die with a smile. We’ve already listened to APT multiple times already this morning lol! 🫠 idek man she’s only 20 months and almost knows every sound/lyric on his songs

Hi all, my LO turned 7 months yesterday and he’s still not babbling. He grunts and whines to get our attention but is still not stringing together vowels. Is this uncommon?

Any other toddler here able to sing full songs (not with proper words)? My girl is so in tune and can sing full songs after hearing them for just a few times. Not sure whether this is something that most toddlers a do or she has a “good ear”

Has anybody else’s kiddos tantrums gotten crazy ? My son has started getting bad reports in daycare he’s been taking his clothes off at school and shoes and socks and throwing them when he gets mad for about the past 3 days and has been threatened to be sent home if it happens again today, he’s telling me no a lot ...
