No walking after first steps

Our son took his first independent steps two weeks ago and we were over the moon! But since then he has not been interested in walking and just crawls everywhere. Did anyone else LO do the same and if so how long before they tried to walk again?

Normal talking milestone

I know my boy isn’t behind but I was wondering if his communication was maybe advanced as I have absolutely no idea and nothing to compare it to. He’s 15 months and can string 2/3 words together. For example, he says ‘no more pasta’ or whatever there is no more of. Or he will say ‘bye bye daddy’. He understands thin...

Talking

Hey! How many words are your little ones saying? My 20mo is talking fluently it’s scary! She can count to 6, knows her primary colours and is a chatter box (little bit of a potty mouth) She doesn’t go to any clubs so I’m not sure it’s normal for her to be talking? 😂

Wondering

So my 5 year old son is having a hard time following directions, and I’m wondering if this is a normal thing for this age or am I being to lenient in my discipline. I rarely ever pop him. I usually just take away his tablet or toys. He definitely listens to his dad a lot better than me. We did just have another baby...

18 month no speech

My 18 month old does not say any words and this is causing him to get frustrated. Tantrums lead to him banging his head on the floor. He can walk, climb stairs, use a spoon. But seems delayed in speech. He babbles but will not copy and speech we do. He will fake laugh and we fake laugh back and he will repeat but...

Whingy Baby

Anyone got any tips on how to cope with a whingy 10 month old? I thought when he could crawl he would be happier but he can now do that and he still whinges. Also, god forbid I put him down and walk to the other side of the room, let alone nip out the room 🙈

ADVICE NEEDED

My baby is 7 months and showing no signs of attempting to crawl, I'm really sick of going online and having all these timelines to milestones really puts me off. Any advice to help him crawl? Should I be worried?

Foot turning inwards when walking in shoes

My little girl is walking (not independently but hand holding) I’ve noticed the last couple of days when she is wearing shoes her right foot goes inwards quite a bit. Has anyone else noticed this when your little one is in shoes or starting to walk. It doesn’t vary between each foot but I can’t say it’s noticeable w...

5 month old grunting

Is anyone else’s baby grunting like all the time? She doesn’t appear to be in pain or distressed but there’s this constant grunting when she’s in her bouncer. She doesn’t cry or throw a fit, just grunting along with some “talking”.

Not walking at 15 months

Hi my baby isn’t walking yet. We’ve tried everything and the health visitor says if she’s not walking by 18 months she’ll need to refer her for physio. Anyone else’s baby refusing to walk? Or heard of babies like this that walked fine later?
