Does anyone else’s toddler want to be constantly carried when out or when in the house? I don’t see any other toddlers being carried when I’m out and I’m finding it super draining!! Doesn’t seem to want to walk anywhere or be in a buggy or trike just me to carry. No one else just me! Help.

Our soon to be four years recieved her autism and gdd diagnosis and I'm thinking of ways to help her learn. Eye contacts are fleeting for her. She looks down most of the time unless she wants something. How to deal with public places tantrums and meltdowns. A child psychologist mentioned that she's doing most things...

My son understands everything you say to him. He makes certain noises for certain things if he likes it or doesn’t or if you ask him does he was some juice/something to eat etc he makes a noise that he does. Some of my friends kids who are around the same age have started talking so wanted to know if anyone else ...

My baby has had 1 settling in session. 2nd is today and starts monday. He cried throughout his first settling in session and didnt eat. Not sure what to do. I go to work on monday.

Help! I’ve gone from having a lovely kind, polite little boy to extreme tantrums like I’ve never seen before. He has tantrums but these are kicking/screaming/shouting and they just don’t seem to stop. My little boy was 3 in January. Nursery said his behaviour isn’t bad there but he is a little more reserved than nor...

My daughter is 10.5 weeks. We are a little concerned about her development (very few smiles, especially at people, very little eye contact). She's our third one, so we are comparing to our previous two and what they could do at this age. Our HV has asked us to check if she is tracking a brightly coloured object wit...

It’s like I have a completely different child atm and it makes me so sad. My LG used to eat well, sleep 12 hours, go to nursery without tears. Now she doesn’t eat anything. Is up during the night, screams if she’s put down and cries generally. I miss how she was and I don’t know why she’s changed 😭😭

My daughter is 16 months old and at her last checkup her doctor recommended speech therapy because she doesn’t say any words. She definitely babbles and she understands a lot, but she doesn’t say any definitive words. She doesn’t refer to me as mama or her dad as dada (she says the noises but doesn’t make the associ...

10 mo having tantrums when things are take from her or not getting her way. Is this developmentally normal ?

Hi! My little guy who will be 17 months on the 5th can only say a handful of words. (Mama, dada, papa, dog, more, night night, ot oh, rawr, ball, night night, en up for clean up, ho ho for Santa.) I’m just wondering if this is a good start or if by now he should be saying more words??

Heyo, My daughter turned 17 months today!..and she is still not walking. She was born 6 weeks premature. And all her physical milestones have been delayed. She started rolling late, started sitting pretty late and didn’t crawl until she was 13 months! I have always been “not going to track milestones” mom but this ...

Is anyone elses toddler still afraid of the vacuum? Like will just scream and cry the entire time you vacuum?

How are we handling tantrums? My daughter hears the word no and just goes full blown tantrum.

Just out of interest have you spoken to your 3 year old about private parts? I had a chat today with my sons pre school and it’s made me think that maybe I need to start to talk to him about our bodies, I’ve always thought maybe too young at the moment.

My baby just had her 2nd episode of crying until she was bloodshot in the face and sweating and stops breathing she is crying so hard. I am the only one who can calm her down. First time her dad was holding her. This time she was in her carseat and I was driving and he couldnt calm her but as soon as I held her both...

I’m unsure if i should reach out to HV for this. But my 14 month old still hasn’t said any words. He babbles, saying mama dada baba but he doesn’t link them to anything, just random. He was also a very late babbler, at 9/10 months was his first babble. I’m really concerned he’s speech delayed and i’m trying so much...

I’ve had a few little concerns about my little 19 month old boy and wondered if anyone else’s experiences the same with their little ones? My little boy is constantly on the go… he was an early mover! He literally cannot stay still unless he is in his high chair or car seat. I see other children his age that will ...

Is anyone else’s 23 month old talking full sentences yet? I don’t understand the shocked reaction strangers have to my daughter talking to me in public. 😆

My daughter turned 5 months a few days ago. She’s laughed on the odd occasion but still yet to have a proper proper belly laugh, she also isn’t ticklish 🙃 so find it very hard to make her laugh as I’m clearly not funny enough lol. Is anyone else’s babies the same age the same? Wasn’t sure if this was normal as my…

I recently started my 2 year old in daycare. This the third month and he is supposed to go only 3 days a week for 3 hours. I say supposed to because he will scream, cry and throw a full on tantrums not to go. I give in and not take him. He absolutely hates it and I’m at lost for what to do. The daycare staff says th...
