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 ...

When I picked my little girl up from nursery today her key worker mentioned that my girl doesn't always respond when people call her name. She said it's variable as to whether she will respond or not and said for us to keep an eye out as it could possibly be that she has glue ear, but my brain is whizzing thinking i...

My toddler has started this extremely high pitched crying a few months ago, and it’s the type of cry that burrows into your brain and hits your bones. It’s so high pitched it’s more of a screech than a cry. I’m usually really patient, but when she’s upset and crying I have gotten to the point where I can’t stand t...

My nearly 6 week old has been crying a lot more the past few days. As in if she’s not feeding or sleeping, she’s crying. She’s also cluster feeding throughout the day. I’m wondering if it’s a growth spurt but also worried something else is going on - anyone else?

He’s 17 months exactly today and my first so I just thought this was normal but my friends with kids say it’s very unusual at this age. Is it unusual? Anyone else’s LO the same?

My 7 month old shouts at me and gets annoyed/ thrusts his body up and down in a tantrum sort of way already 🙈 what have I got to come 😩😩😂

Anyone else's toddler not stop talking, asking questions etc. from the minute they wake up to the minute they fall asleep? I'm exhausted 😅

So my little boy is so wild. He will not sit for more that 5 mins but in the last couple of months it's gotten worse. Since January the nursery are even saying he isn't processing or understanding what they are saying to him. He will literally just run up and down the livingroom for hours. Everything down to meal e...

Io only says muma, no and iya. I feel like my he is so frustrated, he will literally point at everything and screech. I feel like 90% of the time he is upset. Worried :( at what point would you go to hv about this?

Anyone else dread taking their baby out on their own because of how their baby acts in the car. I have a 12 week old little girl and I absolutely hate taking her out on my own as every time she is in the car seat she just screams and cries! If someone is sat next to her she’s a bit more manageable but she still crie...

It's so amazing how their little personalities are beginning to emerge. My little one will do something silly to make us laugh and then look at us and if he sees us laughing will also laugh his head off.

Honestly how do I get my 2yr old to stop screaming at the top of her lungs when she can’t get what she wants. I’m so over it 😤

My 13 month old still isn’t really saying words - he babbles a lot and makes lots of ‘da, ba, ma’ sounds but no words at all. Should I be worried?

morning moms, just wondering if anyone else’s baby does the same thing as I’m starting to get quite worried and drs aren’t much help. My soon to be 11 month old has always done strange movements with his head and I have been to the drs with him about this back when he was 6 and 7 months old and both times got told...

I'm assuming it's a new phase but is it best to ignore it or comment on it (no lying etc) or joke about it (you know that's not right etc) What are you doing?

Baby will be 9 months in a few days and he is army crawling but not really using his legs. When I try to help him walk and regularly when he’s lounging he crosses his legs like this, either way really but idk it seems like he’s really wobbly and I’m a little concerned :(

My typical dinner time includes him being served on the table too. Whatever helps right?!!

My daughter is half Korean (on her father's side), (I am caucasian) and whenever she is out with me in public alone everyone says "Oh, she looks so sleepy." She's never sleepy ... she just has her father's eye shape. If he's with us, people don't say it, but I don't think they realize she's half Asian when it's ...

Anyone else not have a chill baby? Like my baby is only chill when eating or asleep. Baby seems to always be crying even when needs are met unless held. Is this that purple crying my doctor mentioned?!? My baby is 1 month so unsure if this is just a phase or her temperament

My two-year-old has at least three tantrums a day always has one when we’re in public. He also hits me and throws things at me. He’s also started not sharing with other kids, taking things out of their hands and saying mine. I feel like this is my fault but I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Please help please don’t...
