Baby has been ‘ba’ ‘baba bababa’ and all variations of ‘ba’ for weeks. But the last few days she is says ‘mama’ ‘mamma ma ma’ and my parents partner keep saying ‘look she’s saying her first word she knows your mama’ but I keep saying she is just babbling she isn’t aware that I’m mama. But they keep pointing out that...

Anyone else struggling with a 2 year old? 😆 I can’t deal with the not eating ANYTHING, constantly breaking everything and then laughing when you try to discipline them 🥲 Send help 😆

Hey, my little girl was 8 months old yesterday and still isn’t weight barring on her legs. Is anyone else’s little ones doing this?

I’ve heard so many people say that simply acknowledging their feelings calms them down. But saying anything like “I know you want to do xyz, that’s really frustrating isn’t it?” literally just makes him melt down harder. If I calmly hold the boundary, example “we are going to the store now, we can play football late...

Anyone else in the trenches with their toddler? My girl is so great but dang this girl has got some attitude (both me and dad are very dramatic so it adds up 😅) this morning has consisted of two tantrums over “nummies” she only wants to eat berries or cheese lol and a tantrum over coming inside after outdoor…

How are you guys dealing with these things? I’m at a loss what to do. He started doing it at daycare too. The teachers just said it was normal for his age group, and because his dad is current on a small deployment.

Ie - go, stop, cat, dog, yes, no

Honestly at wits end tbh! My daughter hasn't long turns 2 but the behaviour is absolutely terrible! She's throwing everything, hitting, biting, pinching me and her sister, she's throwing tantrums, cries every minute of the day over nearly everything, she won't walk anywhere even around the shops or playgrounds/farms...

My son keeps on randomly laying on the floor on his front and putting one ear to the ground multiple times a day, even after naps etc. i'm wondering if this is normal??

Hi, my 13 month old doesn’t seem interested in walking. Any tips??

Anyone else toddler have lots of bruises on their legs. I see them at end of day, or only when changing him. One/two I know they came from him trying to climb his cube wooden walker, rest idk. Any advice?

My little boy is just over 3 months old, everytime I do tummy time with him he tries to crawl, are any of your little ones the same?🤣🤣

I’m really considering taking my son out of nursery with all the incidents happening. Firstly there was a boy who kept scratching him and one made him bleed but we were reassured they were handling it and now he’s been bitten to the point where the skin has been broken and bled! He’s in a group with 3-4 yr olds at t...

Hi everyone. My little boy babbles lots, and I’ve occasionally heard him say mama, yeah & baba - but I wouldn’t say he has any proper words yet as those aren’t consistent. Any tips? Anyone in a similar position? HV not concerned as he’s under 2. Thanks x

I’m starting to absolutely hate going out in the car simply because if and when we get stuck in traffic my baby starts crying. Even if we’re at a red lights he starts to cry until the car starts moving again. I’ve tried playing songs that he likes, the happy song, I’ve even tried singing to him but nothing helps. He...

My daughter just turned one last Friday and the only words she knows is mama and dada she can’t say daddy but I’m bit worried seeing other children say lots more words than mine. Should I be worried? She can sometimes say hi but I don’t know if it just sounds like that, but it’s not meaning to if that makes sense. I...

Anyone else’s baby developed an attitude? My son has started getting mad and throwing little temper tantrums when he doesn’t get what he wants. He loves trying to get into everything he’s not supposed to and will get mad when I stop him.

My baby big time found her voice this week, and today screamed at the top of her lungs from 9 am to 8 pm straight (with just a couple nap breaks). Happy, sad, needing attention, hungry, excited, it doesn’t matter - she’s screeching like a velociraptor full volume. How do I teach her not to scream for attention? I ...

For a 3 year old what should their speech look like? My toddler says 800 words and can put 3-4 words together in a sentence. Should I be worried?
