Temper tantrums

I’ve noticed as my baby is developing his speech temper tantrums are at a all time high, anything from being put into the car seat, to nappy changes to even demanding things immediately. He’s my only child but I don’t want to ruin the lovely boy he is by giving into everything because it’s a cry. Im trying to go wit...

Screeching/Screaming

My daughter (6 months) screeches and screams, when she’s happy/excited. It’s not just little ones. She does it long, loud and consistently. It’s hard to get a real understanding of it unless you actually hear it. She could do it for 30 minutes straight. Sometimes she even does it so loud and hard she’ll cough. I k...

Anyone else’s baby start having full on tantrums suddenly?

14 months yesterday and this week has been rough. 😓 But he also switched daycares and we’ve had houseguests because a family member is in the hospital. So not sure if this is a phase/leap or because of all we have going on.

Everything in mouth

My baby is 6 months old and he never actually plays with stuff, everything he grabs he puts straight in his mouth, even his hands if he’s not got anything to grab. I’m wondering if I should get him more like interactive toys that he can press buttons and the play music or something. Anyone else’s baby do this?

Advice pls - 10 month old

I really need some advice as I feel like I’m hitting rock bottom. My son just non stop shouts or screams with no breaks, it’s been going on for a good few months now. It gets worse when a tooth comes through understandably but most of the time there is nothing wrong, he just shouts / whinges or is very irritable. It...

Growling, and throwing head back

My baby has just turned 7m (adjusted) and tends to do this low growl. She does it a lot, and it’s being going on for at least a couple of months. She does it whenshe is frustrated, like trying to reach something, and when she is hungry or tired. She also does it at other times, when she doesn’t seem annoyed, apart f...

Anyone else have a shy child?

My daughter is so shy despite me taking her places. She’s good with her friend that we do play dates with. She didn’t like library time and we’ve been to gymnastics open gym lately and she is still timid and mostly wants to sit there sucking her thumb (which she does only when she’s nervous). She doesn’t even intera...
