Anyone else 10 month old not crawling yet! Starting to get a little worried. She’s rocking and trying to lean forward sitting up but that’s as far as it goes

Very random one! My 8 month old is absolutely petrified of dogs. She’s never had a bad experience at all with dogs or anything to explain the fear but everytime we go to any friends or families house and they have dogs, regardless of size or temperament, she is so petrified she physically shakes all over her body an...

Does anyone else’s baby flap one of their arms for a minute or so straight? It’s seems to have started yesterday when falling asleep or upset- is it an early sign of autism?

How long after army crawling did your little ones begin to crawl properly or did they just stick to army crawling? x Edited to add another question, when babies were learning to crawl were you letting them be frustrated and shouty when they were trying to get a toy they can’t reach or were you passing it back to th...

My 18 month old has been walking for about a month and a half now and is very confident/ steady on her feet. She’s wearing Clark’s soft sole shoes when out and about but I was just wondering when everyone moved away from these and went to a ‘normal’ shoe

So my 2 yr old bite the inside of her lip when she fell and her father is going to tell me it looks like someone backhanded her mind you!! I don’t put my hands on her like that. I’m not that type of parent at all… Just tired of being the blame for everything when kids do kid stuff all the time

I don’t want to put her on time out or on a step or anyhting but how do I communicate no to her, ...

Can anyone else tell me if they’re experiencing there July baby scream for no reason atall constantly moan when you leave the room to grab something? This is causing me so much pressure on my relationship due to my child being so needy. Has anyone got any advice? She can crawl to other rooms but she decides to s...

My LO is 2 and he is always eloping. I know a certain amount of wandering off is considered normal at this age but for my boy it is constant. He can’t hold my hand and walk with me, wherever we are he is always trying to leave or wander off in his own direction. Right now we can use his buggy and he can sit in the t...

Has anyone gone through their toddler hitting them or not wanting them whilst they’ve been pregnant? I have a 2YO and I’m currently pregnant. Before pregnancy, my LO was obsessed with me and didn’t let anyone do anything for him if it wasn’t me but since finding out about being pregnant and including him in the jou...

Hi, my babies been having cold feet which turn purple but then go back to their usual feet within a few minutes. Probably from like birth it’s been happening. I’ve mentioned it to the doctors but they said her breathing and everything is fine just to keep an eye on it. I worry it will be a problem later on… has anyo...

My little one is not yet walking he stands independently for a few seconds and can walk holding furniture. They are saying it’s normal for them to not walk until 18 months. I was wondering if there is something I can do/change to help him

Hiya, My son has not long turnt 3. Is it normal for boys to go through a VERY repetitive stage? My daughter never done this. He has to watch the same tv programme over and over, will not watch anything else. He will say the same thing over again. I’m sick of watching the same episodes of kids tv😂anyone else?

My baby boy is 12 weeks next week and from 1 week he cries in pram, I cannot take him for a walk anymore in pram because he doesn't stop crying. Everyone in this situation and why do you think he reacts like this? He really like it before..

Hey, My husband and I get constant comments on how tall our daughter is- she is just shy of 28 months and around 86.5cm. When I look at her red book, it places her around the 50-55 percentile. I’m only 4ft11 so I’m not sure if they just think she is tall compared to me or she is actually tall. What percentile ...

My son is 18 month and still not talking is anyone else’s toddler similar

16 months and won’t copy anything I say just looks at me bewildered. Makes himself understood and his understanding seems much further ahead. Can follow simple instructions / point to some body parts. HV said they won’t refer until he’s 2 years old for speech therapy. We sing songs, read books, I talk to him all day...

Is anyone else struggling with getting their child to understand “no”?? I feel like this is the hardest stage yet. Not quite understanding things but throwing tantrums too? I really don’t think I can do much more I feel lost a bit.

With 2 under 3 my patience it quite thin (ironic right) but even so I’m still able to validate my toddler when he’s whining/crying. However sometimes I find myself saying ‘there’s no need to cry’ and I hate when it just comes out. Some things are ‘silly’ but I know to him they’re not but has anyone got any go to lin...
