Ws are using BSL based baby sign, and my 18 weeks old ( 19 weeks on monday) signed nappy 3 times yesterday after pooping! We thought the first was a coincidence, but after 3 times, it can't be! She also recognises the sign for milk and smiles and opens her mouth ready for booby! I can't believe how much they under...

My baby is 8 weeks old and barely gives any eye contact. But does occasionally but only for a couple seconds. How much eye contact did/does your baby give at this age?

My son is 19mo now and constantly angry. Everything makes him angry, he screams all the time. Constantly throwing tantrums and when you try to calm him down he headbutts me, bites me, slaps me? Can’t take him anywhere cause all I get is judgement from everyone in public and it’s never worth it but at the same time i...

Anyone’s LO going through a really whingy and whiny stage? Just turned 8 months and has started to crawl. I thought once he could crawl it would stop as he’s finally on the move but it’s still happening..

My toddler does this thing where she squishes my arms,rubs my face,puts her feet on me or kisses me in a way that drives me insane she even grinds her teeth and makes a voice like when you see a cute dog and can’t help but want to squish it. Omgggg it drives me insane. Is this normal behavior for toddlers? Or is sh...

Should I be worried. My little one who is 8 weeks old is not smiling. He doesn’t always look at me and focus, looks around a lot.

Anyone's little one just become a bit crazy, clingy, and a whole sort of tornado...? My girl doesn't want toys she just wants to be on top of me, walking around bumping her head, or ripping throwing her toys around. Someone tell me it's not just me 😭😂

Is anyone else’s little one hitting and throwing at them a lot recently? He doesn’t do it out of anger or frustration he’s doing it and laughing but anyone got any tips how to stop him doing this/teach him it’s wrong? Don’t want him to get older and this become a massive problem🤦🏼‍♀️😅

I’ve been worried about babies development forever really. She seems to have what physio calls “flexible hips” which has really delayed her crawling because she’s not even able to keep her knees together to crawl. She can now do this over recent days but still can’t pull to stand. She gets up on her knees but can’t ...

So I seem to have a really slow baby I seen loads of mums posting about there baby’s getting their teeth come through. Rolling, sitting even nearly crawling, and I look at my lil boy thinking what’s going on he can sit but not unaided, he can roll from back to belly we have no teeth and little signs of crawling but ...

Is anyone else’s baby waking up full on screeching, screaming like a raptor? It’s ear deafening & really stressful! My LO just screams soooo loud & it takes me over an hour to settle her, the kicking & thrashing about it’s hard work! I’m so overstimulated 😭

My LO just turned 9 months! She’s doing a lot of carpet time and manages to get on her fours but just can’t seem to have her move back and forward. When she reaches for a toy she ends up on her tummy again and that’s it. Like a cycle! 😂 🤷🏻‍♀️ any help would be appreciated..

I guess this is a rant/seeing if anyone else relates. Sometimes my parents or their friends make raunchy comments about my 5 month old son as a “joke”. It really bothers me. Like if a woman is holding my son and he puts his face near her chest or touches her chest, they’ll say things like how he likes boobs because ...

Any tips to get through diaper changes without my newborn feeling like she’s being tortured? At times she can get through it without crying and other times, especially at night, she hates it so much. Bless my heart because I understand I have to remain calm

Is anyone else’s baby still so clingy? I’m still not able to leave his side to do anything 🥲

LO has started tantrum. Crying and screaming and will throw herself on floor. She won’t let us come near her. So how do you deal with this? Do you ignore?

Bit of a random one but has anyone else’s baby learned they can gasp for breath and seem to do it for fun? She will do it when excited and to get my attention and it literally sounds like she’s having an asthma attack but she’s smiling and laughing whilst doing it?! Wondering if she’s learned a new sound and is fixa...

anyone else’s 4 month old act like putting a shirt on is the equivalent of being tortured

I am really nervous my 3 year old has a NHS hearing test and I know they will ask her to complete tasks for the hearing test and she won’t do it and she hates appointments and gets very upset and wriggly and won’t sit still I so worried about it. She’s no diagnosed yet and she’s had private hearing test before la...

I get that this will vary depending on your personal experience, but I am struggling with my 5yo and would appreciate some advice. He goes to school Monday to Friday, Monday to Thursday he has after-school clubs, such as swimming, a fitness class ect. Only on Fridays do we come home at 3pm. We take him to the play ...
