This is a bit silly but my baby who is 6 months on the 29th still doesn’t really laugh. She CAN laugh as she has done it a couple times but rarely does. This is horrible and I hate my self for feeling this way but I see all my mum friends babies laughing at them so much and it makes me feel jealous! I wish my baby l...

Hey everyone, I’m a first time mum and my baby doesn’t really like us reading to him, he never has! He does like the baby touch books and we can get through those, as well as the “that’s not my..”. I also talk to him constantly through the day but I’m worried that him not liking being read to us going to hinder hi...

My baby in recent weeks keeps constantly making a groaning noise when she’s awake. It’s ALOT! It’s not wind or boredom but it’s so constant it’s driving me mad! Any idea why and how to make her stop.. she used to always babble and now it’s just this whining, I miss the babbles!

Now I should start this off by saying we don’t have a conventional vacuum we have a shop vac however it’s not louder than my standard house vac. As a child I was terrified of the vacuum because my sister would torment me and pretend the vacuum was going to eat me. So we’re not off to a good start.😂 I was…

Hey mamas. I need some advice and words of encouragement. My 13 month old isn’t really talking. Sometimes he tries to copy but for the most part he isn’t interested. He used to babble mama but I don’t know if I would really count it as him talking. He does say dada and good. He tries hard to say dog because we have ...

Does anyone else’s child just get really angry over literally anything and everything? I really don’t know what to do, if something isn’t right, she doesn’t like it or doesn’t go her way etc she gets so angry instantly and will hit, throw things, crush things (like food). She will hit me or herself or whatever it is...

I wasn’t ready for this to be a milestone yet 😂. We weren’t really encouraging her to walk until she started taking steps on her own. We do have a 2 year old as well so I think she sees him on two legs and decided she should be too. My second was 3 months early so he technically started at 10mo adjusted 13m actual.

Baby seems to be crawling backwards 😂 well not really crawling but he will push himself backwards when on all fours. I don't think he knows he's supposed to go forward 🙈 is everyone's baby crawling yet? My boy will be 8 months soon and can not roll and just about goes on his fours

So for context, I was just diagnosed with combined ADHD in October 2024, and she said I have some autistic traits too that I should seek diagnosis for if my stimulants don’t rule out those traits after some time. This obviously makes me hyper vigilant of those around me, both family that have come before me/my partn...

He moans from the second he wakes up and just doesn’t seem happy at all anymore. He hates sitting in the highchair or any type of chair actually. He climbs up me like he wants to be held and then the second I pick him up he wants to be put down again. I know it’s probably just a phase but its drainingggg😫😂🙈

So my daughter has just turned two. And I honestly feel like I have a diffrent child. She screams when she doesn’t get her own way and she has started hitting as well. She doesn’t eat properly either at the moment. I have recently just had a baby but i don’t know to me it doesn’t feel like that’s the reason she’s ac...

Does anyone else's toddler act like there being f*cking tortured as soon as the doctor even looks at them? Honestly no idea what I'm meant to do, had to pin him down with him screaming like a maniac just to have a check up. His only ever been seen by a doctor a few times and every time I say I'm never going again be...

Hey so my 10month old has started to bang his head against the wall randomly like he will be playing then he crawls over to the wall bangs his forehead and then drags it down the wall🙈we tell him no when he does do it but it’s becoming part of his little routine which im obviously worried about leaving marks and…

My son used to be famously chill from birth, extremely happy and relaxed and never cried. I think in his first year of life I’ve heard him cry a handful of times, mostly when he got his jabs and when we sleep trained him. Since he turned one, it’s like his personality has changed! He’s now screaming when he doesn’...

My LB is absolutely wild at the moment and I guess I'm just looking for some reassurance that this is normal? He has been hitting, pulling hair and throwing anything within reach when he doesn't get his own way. I tell him no firmly and move him away from me when he hits and move his toys out of reach when he throws...

Our daughter babbles loads and has her own ‘toddler language’ but hasn’t said any actual words yet. I’m getting worried, although she is very physically able always has been. Is anyone else in the same boat?

My 7mo son is constantly making this grunting noise or a moaning sound from the minute he wakes up. No matter what you give him or play he is always making grunting noise. Anyone else’s like this?

Mine has learnt that everything deserves a little scratchy scratch

Anyone’s baby 9 months and still isn’t crawling yet 😔

My son is 13 months old and he hasn't said mama or Papa intentionally. He is talking a lot of gibberish , but not a word. I am talking all day with him . Still I am worried and not sure if I am doing anything wrong. Can anyone suggest good online resources that helps . I saw "raising little talkers " but not sure if...
