Is it bad if we just snuggle and watch nursery rhymes/Ms Rachel? My little one is exhausted and poorly but feel bad if I'm not doing educational things?

My lo started talking a bit. He says short sentences and knows some basic words nothing crazy. However I keep hearing mixed opinions on this. My mil and some mums told me how he should be speaking a lot more by now and some mums told me it's completely normal and usually talk a lot more after 2? I'm not so worried a...

Is anyone else in the same boat? My little boy is 18 months and seems to be in a terrible mood all the time, there’s honestly no pleasing him at this point. He is constantly whining or saying ‘Mama’ to everything, he won’t play with any toys or anything anymore he just wants to be where ever I am doing what I am doi...

When does not crawling become a worry? My little one is 8 months and won’t even attempt to crawl. She can walk while holding our fingers and is constantly pulling herself up to stand on things so i know it’s not a strength problem. When we do tummy time she just rolls herself over and won’t entertain the thought of...

Can i just ask when does not babbling become a problem? My 8mo makes alot of noises and sounds but no babbling at all. I don’t know if I need go be concerned by this point or if its still early?

Has anyone experienced where their child talks normally for their development and then around different people or throughout the day will act and talk like a baby out of no where. For example not saying full sentences however other times can say full sentences.

She is 14 months (nearly 15) and doesn't say any proper words. She babbles and chats gibberish all day and is good at shouting and pointing to try and communicate what she wants. However, it's no actual words. My husband and I chat to her all day and try get her to copy us but she's so stubborn and just laughs at us…

Does anyone else's toddler miss ending sounds of words For example hot it "ho"

My little girl just turned 5 months and hasn’t giggled or laughed yet. She babbles and coos and socially smiles and responds. Anyone else’s LOs the same?

Does anyone else's little one completely ignore them, whether I'm just chatting, asking questions or telling him to do something. It's giving me absolute RAGE. I'm fairly sure it's not a hearing problem.

Our 3 year old is CONSTANTLY saying “no” and pushing back, choosing to not do as we ask, even if we try and make it into a game or make it fun. We end up having to force him to get dressed because he refuses despite trying everything. He sees it as a game, and laughs when we pin him down to get him dressed and out t...

Anyone else’s baby just never seem happy or content just makes a winging noise almost constantly during the day and wants to be held or held up on his feet? Struggling! And also seriously considering giving up work as I don’t think he’ll cope in nursery.. went for a 2 hour taster session last week and he was distrau...

What does it look like? I've heard they're not all the same

My 1 year old daughter has always pulled her hair as way of self soothing. More recently she has been pulling small clumps of hair out. I am keen to hear any experiences & for any advice on how best to deal with it {ignore it or, try to stop it?}. The nursery where my daughter goes said that its not 'normal' behav...

My little one has started biting me when he’s nursing. Any tips on how to get him to stop? He’ll bite down then tug at it 😩 and it hurts

Does (or did ) your toddler have crazy meltdowns over any slight change even in small routines? Our LO is 2 years and 3 months old and lately she has been having tantrums/meltdowns every time something is changing in how she washes her hands (me standing in a wrong spot, or opening water first then giving her soap)...

My 15 month old hits herself. I understand it’s normal when they throw their hands around and hit someone else because the don’t want something. But my daughter will hit herself on her head, face, etc. I’ve tried teaching her gentle hands, ignoring it/not giving a big reaction, etc. But it’s every day!! Is this norm...

Is anyone else struggling with their toddler listening to “no” I swear I say no to something A MILLION times and he just looks at me and continues to do it.. Anyone else dealing with this?

I have a daughter and we have had the period talk and private bedroom time by herself. My question I’m just curious what age are people having the sex conversation with kids?

My 2 year old son repeats new words over and over , like over 10 times in a row , is that normal? I get repeating , but he will continue for awhile
