Cutting nails

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...

Thumb sucking

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?

18 month not speaking

Hi ladies, Just wanted to see if anyone else has an 18 month old who still isn’t speaking. Our nursery have said it’s nothing to worry about and because he communicates and understands non verbally then he is on track, but it’s still niggling at me whether to let the HV know in case he needs a referral. He is babbli...

Giggles

Is anyone else’s baby not really giggling yet? We can get some out of her every couple of days but it only lasts a few seconds! She’s super smiley and attentive - just not giggling?

Change of mood for 3 year old..

My son turned 3 at the start of February.. and this anger seems to have come out of nowhere - feet stomping, shouting, screwing up his face etc - reading online this seems pretty normal at the "age 3 milestone".. I just wondered if anyone else has or is experiencing the same? When he was 2 he did show signs of ange...

How are you dealing with the attitude( if at all)!

My 2 year old son is too much. Each time he does something and we tell him to stop he’s hitting or running off to his room and closing the door like a teenager. I’m scared it’ll just get worse as he gets older.

Has anyone else’s baby done this?

He started doing this on Sunday. Not all the time, just every once in a while and it seems like only when he’s excited, but I’m still worried. It’s not constant and doesn’t seem to bother him or last for very long. I’m also trying to get through to my pediatrician to see if I should bring him in in case it’s urgent.

Nails - IMPOSSIBLE TASK

Hello, any suggestions on how to get my LG to stop running away and screaming every time I try to file her nails? I’ve tried distracting her with everything I can think of but nothing… I have to get her dad to hold her still which isn’t great! Xx

Saw a mom pour Coke Zero in a 1 year olds baby bottle

Has anyone done this? Is this like…normal American mom behavior? The kid was screaming on top of his lungs and the mom was heavily pregnant so I’m not judging her parenting choices, she probably didn’t feel she had another option. However, I was just traumatized to witness this and so I wanted to know if this is so...

Public Tantrums?

My 14 month old almost 15 month old has been throwing pretty bad tantrums & it’s even worse when we’re in public. Lately he’s been into balls & everytime he sees one he’ll say “BALL!” And thinks we can give it to him. If we don’t give it to him he’ll cry & throw a fit. When I say he’ll cry.. he cries & screams. My h...
