Community Posts, Tips & Support on Baby Milestones

Our second child was recently born, and our eldest is 21 months. She is being so gentle and good with the baby but her frustrations are coming out in other areas, for example she's started hitting herself in the face and head. We ask her to stop and try to hold her hands so she can't do it anymore, but I don't know ...

Is anyone else’s LOs doing the above at this age?! Its driving me insane and hurts so much. Is it a development/learning milestone? Made sure her nails are short but its still so painful and I don’t know the best way to make her stop.

Hey every my little boy isn’t crawling or walking he like to pull himself up on his toy box but when you put him on his belly he shuffles round to get picked up he does not like tummy time at all . I’m seeing everyone else babies crawling / walking and hoping he does before his first birthday in two months 😭

My son just turned 15 months old and still doesn't point at anything with his finger. He doesn't understand when I ask him to show me where something is, and he can't show me where mom or grandma is, etc. Should I be worried? I've read that this is a fundamental part of communication in toddlers and that this gestur...

I am not sure what will make my toddler interested in play .. he also doesn't have conversational speech yet. Jus a few random words here and there. What does your daily routine look like with a 27 month old?

I curse quite a bit, my husband does, but not in front of our daughter. She’s 13 now, but I’ve always cursed in front of her. My husband thinks I shouldn’t, but when I tried to stop, I failed miserably, and I eventually didn’t care enough to try and stop. So instead, I figured I’d be the one to teach her about them....

My 8 week old baby has never screamed, rarely even cries during the day, and in the last week he has picked up a stunning new habit of screaming from 8pm every. single. night. Please tell me other people have had this and it goes asap?! I’m tempted to get an evening job at this rate to avoid being home 😂

Is anyone’s little one biting them at all? I keep putting him on the floor when he does it and sometimes he cries but he keeps doing it mainly to me and my husband. I try to give him teething toys instead but he just doesn’t want them. How are you deterring your LO?

I grew up getting spankings and so did my husband but we’re trying to “gentle parent” and spankings just aren’t effective, especially for our toddler. But he’s also not easy to gentle parent, he’s a typical 3 yr old, huge feelings, and constant tantrums when told no. So we usually put him in time out, we have a feel...

did/does anyone elses babies babble/talk like this? she rolls her tongue as you can see in the video🤣 not sure if this is normal or if this is just the way my girl wants to start talking hahaha Can anyone else relate or is my girl just unique🤣🥰

Is your baby respond sometimes to their name? Mine responds, but when she’s distracted or too tired, doesn’t responds. Is this happening to anyone?

My baby is just over 4 months and still hasnt had tears yet. He is a very happy baby and only whinges when he’s hungry or tired and generally those things are solved right away without too much drama. But do your babies cry with tears? I find it odd that my baby doesn’t and now I have doubt

My baby is nearly 12 weeks old and doesn't cry tears - is this normal ? Do your babies cry tears ?

Is it normal for my 2 year old to be twice pushed over in nursery to twice bang his head on the table & hurt himself on two separate occasions it’s happened now in last few months. He cried hysterically apparently. I’m not happy about this. The nursery is tiny and the boys were running around apparently the staff to...

My toddler is 2 years old and barely speaks any sentences. He’s very repetitive with some behaviours. He has good eye contact and can follow some instructions. I’ve asked the health visitor to refer him to speech and language therapy to get him the support he needs however she’s just so hesitant and has said she’ll ...

Anyone else’s little one going through a really clingy stage? My little girl is literally throwing tantrums if one of us leaves her or she’s left with someone else for a few minutes.

this is kinda a rant/talking it out. so my daughter is 1 year and 4 months old but is not standing on her own or walking much. She pulls herself up on anything and letting go sometimes for a few seconds before she holds onto something again. I try to get her to walk but she shows more interest in crawling or being h...

Anyone going through this.. is this a phase? Am I doing something wrong?? HELP

i’ve just had my appointment come through for my little girl with the health visitor and i’m so worried that she’s behind , she’s only recently started to show any interest in food which i know isn’t that big of a deal as it was when she was ready but she’s 9 months and still can’t sit up on her own she’s sooo close...

I've never heard of a 1 year old baby speaking in full sentences and being able to do back and forth conversation like an adult does 😒 inlaws seem to think baby should be properly talking when he is only just a year old, they are apparently not satisfied that he can say single phrases and 2 word phrases like 'say…
