Normal?
Hey guys I need help with knowing if this is normal.
My first born son was the easiest baby ever. Rarely cried at all!
My second born cries about everything. His diaper changes are traumatic because he won’t let you do it and the only way to get a diaper done is to pin him down (we’ve given him our phone, toys, chewies, sang to him, silly faces, played with him- he will not let a diaper change happen at all and just screams)
He won’t let us wipe his hands after mealtime he screams and flales.
You can’t distract him once he works himself up.
At the beginning I was like “this is normal” but now he’s 10.5 months and still screams every diaper change and hand wipe
Is this normal?
Signs of autism in 20 month old..
Hello everyone, I would just like some input, advice, comments on what I can do to help my son. He’s 20 months old. And his teacher has some concerns because he doesn’t talk much, not pointing, “In his own world” when playing outside at the park, and only listens to his name being called sometimes. At home is sorta the same for all. But he’s super social, eats everything, cry’s for things he wants, plays, interacts with familiar people, sometimes can lose eye contact though. He’s an only child. And we also thing he may need tubes in his ears.
Not rolling or showing an interest
Hi everyone,
Firstly I know you shouldn’t compare one child to another but finding it hard at the minute with my son. He’ll be 7 months old in 3 days. I also have a 2 year old daughter. At this age, my daughter was rolling confidently and was army crawling across the floor. My son still isn’t rolling confidently. He can’t sit unassisted, only for short periods of time and that’s with using his hands on his legs for support. He has rolled a few times from front to back and back to front, but from back to front his arm gets stuck and he doesn’t know what to do with it yet. He’s just not interested. He gets plenty of time playing on the floor with toys and I encourage him to move by putting toys out of his reach but after a few attempts, if he cant reach it he’ll just happily lie there lifting his legs into the air. Not sure if I’m over worrying since my daughter was so different but I’ve also just been putting some things in my car and seen my neighbours baby (who was born in November 2025) in a walker and moving around a bit! I wouldn’t even think about putting my son in one of those yet as I’m really not sure how that would go. Anyone else’s little one the same?
Some hope for mums worried about their child speech
My toddler just turned 21 months and before then, he never said any words. not even mama or dada. I was sooo worried and was constantly googling things and running myself mad with all different theories why he wasn't speaking. I was doing everything I could, reading constantly, narrating everything we did, singing etc. his understanding was really good and he followed a lot of instructions so I wasn't worried about that. But he just couldn't say anything.
Then literally overnight about a week ago, it's like something clicked in his head and he just started copying words 😳 he's now saying about 10 words (although pronunciation isn't perfect) but it's so crazy how one minute you are full of worry and anxiety then the next minute, it's like all that stress didn't even matter.
So if your toddler isn't saying many words, I know it's hard but please don't worry too much. It will happen when you least expect it ❤️
