Park

When you take your little one to the park how long do you normally stay? I feel she gets always so upset leaving as she is having fun. Not sure how to leave with happy mood not crying

Speech development

I just wondered if anyone has any experience with their child being slightly behind in speech. My son can say so much, some of it is just not as clear as others his age. I don’t compare him to other children, they all do things at their own pace, personally I think he’s fine. He was 3 in December, he started presch...

First steps to walking

Little boy just took his first steps today. He walked across our rug and took about 4/5 steps on his own with no support. Just wondering for anyone who has experienced this how long did it take from this point until little one was confidently walking? 😊

Talking help

So my 14 month old has been able to say mama and dada for a while but won’t say it in reference to us. She says almost all animal noises when we ask, says & signs “eat”, says and knows what a hat is, can point to most of her body parts, signs “more” & “again” She is starting to try and copy the words we say but st...

Anyone with a toddler really struggling to cope at the moment?

I have zero energy as it is but she’s being really testing at the moment - some hitting, biting, not listening to us at all, throwing food. She’s also got her molars coming through and isn’t sleeping well which I’m sure is contributing to her behaviour. Normally I can manage this, I can keep calm and keep my patienc...

Baby reading own name yet?

Just curious is anyone else's 20 month old reading their own name yet? Big surprise for us! I'm curious if this is normal or a bit unusual. I did Google it but the answers were a bit silly because while I know my toddler is smart I don't think she's a crazy child genius 😆 Her language skills are quite advanced,…

Baby not crawling at 9 months

My baby has just turned 9 months and he still hates tummy time and has no interest in being on his knees or trying to crawl. He's very comfortable and steady sitting up and can play for a long time like this and will reach far to grab toys. He is fine rolling to get toys but then will always roll onto his back again...

Should I be worried?

Before I start, I know all babies are different and do things at their own pace. I keep trying to tell myself this but can’t help but worry. My little girl is nearly 11 months and isn’t crawling, trying to stand or anything. She scored really low on the gross motor section of the 9-12 month HV review. At the time th...

Saying words

I was wondering if that counts as first words or not to see where my baby is When something falls she says uh-oh If I ask her what does a lion say she roars Dog? She barks She points at things and say Da ( means “this” in my language) If I say otta she says -ta (cat in my language) Do these things count as say...

Noisy little ones whilst sleeping

Hey everyone! Is anyone else’s little one really noisy through out the night? My little girl is 3 weeks tomorrow and it’s the cutest thing in my opinion, but she is literally wittering and grunting all night long, making slimier goat sounds 🐐🥲 Just wanted to know if anyone else is experiencing the same 🤍

Has anyone popped their child?

I popped my daughter in the hand for the third time today my daughter slapped me extremely hard in the face and then proceeded to bit me and I grabbed her hand and hit it slightly trying to show her that it’s not okay. She’s been biting, slapping and hitting none stop. I’ve tried all methods and while I didn’t want ...

8 month old not waving or clapping

Is anyone else’s 8/9 month old not waving or clapping yet? My little guy turns 9 months on the 13th and he still isn’t clapping or waving or imitate my actions very much, he also doesn’t push himself into a sitting position from the floor yet (he can sit independently though), and he’s only saying “mama” and “ba”....

15 month old responds to his name sometimes. Follows instructions sometimes.

He is saying a couple of words and sometimes imitates what we are saying. So I wonder whether he is choosing to ignore us the other times he doesn’t respond. Anyone else on this boat?

Stressed

My 3.5 year old daughter has been so defiant lately, constantly telling me no, if she doesn't get her way she starts screaming (in public too) and she is even demanding now. She used to use please and thank you and if she got told no would pout. Within the last two months though she has been so so so bad and I don't...

Tips/ Advice for two and half year old to listen

She also refuses to hold my hand. How can I...
