Stranger anxiety

Has you LO shown any signs of stranger anxiety? My 5 month old makes a sad face and starts crying with my in-laws approach him (which he does not see often maybe once a week or less).

Tantrums

Anyone else dealing with major tantrums? Everyday seems like an inconvenience to my LB. Ever since he’s turned one, he’s hated bath time (used to love it before). Even changing him is an ordeal. His mood/behaviour goes from 0-100 😩 Would get on the floor crying, arching his back but then when you pick him up , he…

Am I a bad mom?

Am I a bad mom bc my 3 month old screams during tummy time so I don't do it as much as I should bc it physically pains me to hear him cry for more than a few seconds. He holds his head up great and we've been doing tummy time on our chest or legs since birth. We've even started assisted sitting. I just can't handle ...

Baby shaking head

My nearly 10 month old has started shaking his head or wiggling it from side to side- he doesn’t appear to be in pain and seems to be doing it to get a reaction out of us (we head wiggle back, it’s sweet to see his new trick). Does your LO do this, or should I be ringing the dr as he was also scratching at his ears...

Pulling/sucking hair

My baby boy has an obsessive compulsive need to eat hair. He sucks his fingers and when he’s really crying, he frantically pulls at my hair, wraps it around his fingers and sucks them. It soothes him immediately. I’ve tried putting my hair up but he still grabs at the hairs on the nape of my neck and sometimes pulls...

Husband doesn’t speak to our children kindly.

My husband and I have a 1 year old and an *almost* 3 year old. He doesn’t speak to either of them kindly. He speaks to them like they’re animals. If one of them is in his way he will yell “MOVE” to them. Instead of simply walking around them or saying excuse me or literally anything else. Just MOVE. If they don’t li...
