Community Posts, Tips & Support on Baby Milestones

How do you get your 3 year old to listen to you? I am getting tired of having to repeat myself or ask the same thing 5 times to be completely ignored and I get so frustrated that I shout to then be told "you're shouting is making me sad" to which my reply is I have asked nicely 5 times and I'm now frustrated. Bear...

Hi mamas, I'm reaching out today because I could really use some advice and support. My 9-month-old daughter is not crawling yet, and I’m starting to feel a little anxious about it. At her recent pediatrician visit, her doctor recommended we do some exercises to encourage her to start moving, but every time we try,...

So my son just turned 2 but he has the mindset of a 4 month old he still thinks he is a baby, he snatches his sister bottle from her, he isn’t open to play with other kids, only wants to watch minions all day and only eats mashed potatoes won’t eat anything else do they ever grow out of it and learn to talk my son i...

Omg our boy will not wear shoes! He's confidently walking outside now (in booties still 🙈) so we definitely need some but he is absolutely hysterical any time a shoe even goes near his foot! He screamed Clarks down when we took him to get measured. You'd have thought he was getting his foot chopped off 😅 We've…

Hi my son doesn’t have any fear! He climbs on things and just chucks himself off and even if he gets upset he’ll try and do it again. We were at a soft play and he wanted to go down a big slide I tried to get him on my knee but settled for holding hands. He went all over the place but found it funny. He went chargin...

My LO has episodes of screaming ferociously and clenching his fists. Sometimes it’s in context, in that he’s getting tired or hungry. Often, I can’t find the source of his frustrations. The scream is very loud and shrill. Get that temper tantrums are par for the course in toddlers, but is he still a bit young to be ...

Anyone else’s nearly 8 month old not even close to crawling? My daughter has had really bad reflux since birth and still has it now and tummy time makes this worse therefore she screaming when on her front. We are not even close to crawling and she’s 8 months old next week! We have a little bum shuffle going on tho😂

My little one still isn’t walking or standing on her own, she will walk really confidently holding hands but that’s about it! Any tips I feel like I try everything but my little one gets really tantrum and stubborn and then gets upset!

Is it normal for my 8 month old to crawl over to me stuff his head into me and then bite me? He bites me all the time and sometimes it really hurts especially if sat on the floor with him, he has 4 top teeth and 2 bottom teeth and he seems to find it funny but it kills!!! 🤣😭

Would you be ok with staff at nursery having a “stern” word with your child abbot biting followed by time out. I am not saying it’s wrong - I don’t know how to feel tbh so reaching out to ask what other Mums would feel. Please be kind with answers im just curious. And I am aware of the other parties feelings. Thanks.

Omg, my toddlers are honestly testing my will to live daily. I feel like pulling my hair out constantly! Bring me back to a toddler and newborn stage! I love those munchkins to bits, but, goodness gracious, how do/did you stay sane when it feels like mission impossible? That's it. That's the post. Thank you!

A bit of a weird question, My little boy is 8 months tomorrow and when he cries he doesn’t cry any tears. When our little girl was his age she was definitely crying tears haha. Is anyone else’s baby the same?

My little boy has just turned one , he’s hit all milestones and is nearly walking but no matter what I do he won’t clap or wave , should I be concerned

Hi all My LG tends to sensory seek Bangs feet Bangs her hear purposely on the door Bites grapefruits Anyone else ?

Does anyone else have a super fidgety and squirmy baby who absolutely hates getting their nails filed/cut? If she’s awake mine pulls her hands/bends fingers every two seconds and toes are near impossible. I used to do it while she was asleep but now at 12 months she’s sleeping on her stomach in a way I can’t even...

Somebody help me understand how a 3 month old infant is and I quote “acting an a**” because she’s crying communicating how tired she is. 🤨

HOW for the life of yall, deal with a 10 month old that screams at the top of his lungs ALL DAY LONG. I have fed, bathed, clothed, changed, held, and also put him in his walker and play pen to play and no matter WHAT he just screams all day. He IS teething and is in the middle of breaking his first tooth so I know h...

Anybody elses to throw themselves back? Mine mainly does it when she's mad. I remember my son did this and it drove me crazy

Anyone’s little ones sucking their thumb? Mine had started to and I don’t know how I feel about it or what to do about it but I don’t want it to effect his teeth or speech, he is 4 months, is intervention needed or is it a phase?
