8month

When indoors with bubba, instead of her playing independently she prefers to attempt to either follow me around or climb on me/sofa. She only plays if I’m playing with her! Anyone else’s baby like this 🥺

Milestones

My 14 month LB has said a few words but doesn’t copy when we say words. He is pointing but not clapping or waving. I know every baby meets their milestones at their own time but my anxiety takes over and I really worry. Is anyone else in the same position and does anyone have any recommendations to help?

Moaning

Does anyone else’s baby moan constantly? My baby’s 8 months and for the last maybe 3 months he moans none stop all day and as soon as he wakes up he moans and when eating food. It’s gotten to the point I’m having daily headaches now.

Autism after 5 years old

How young did your child get a diagnosis, because they say 5 is too young to tell which I agree my son was diagnosed at 1 with autism but the pediatrician told me I had to wait till 5 to see if "he'll grow out of it". Did your child also get diagnosed before 5 and did they get better once they got older?

Any other 15 month olds still not walking? 😥

He just crawls everywhere. He stands for a little on his own, and cruises with furniture, but doesn't walk. I don't know when to start getting concerned.

Diaper meltdowns

Does anyone else's toddler have an absolute meltdown when it's time to change their diaper? My little guy 3/5 times will scream, cry, roll, kick, do everything to keep from having his diaper changed. It's not as if he had any rash that's painful or any visible wounds on his back. It's literally become a two person j...

Head nodding?

My 8 month old keeps nodding his head right and left, is this normal? I read online it's a sign of teething and he is currently on tooth 8 so not sure just a bit worried. Any other mums had this with their LO?

The no stage

Anyone else’s may 23 babies reached their ‘no’ phase 😂🫠 My little boy has learnt yes and no and the context they are used in over the last month or so and now it’s just constant. I’ll ask him if we should get dressed, change his nappy, brush teeth etc and it’s always no and I feel bad being like well you have too😂😂…

18 month and not saying any words

Hey, just looking for some reassurance as I feel like an anxious mess at the moment. My LB is 18 months soon and isn’t saying any words. Not even mama or dada. Has anyone got any positive stories of something similar or know what age you should contact the health visitor??? Thanks
