Crawling on hard floors

Don't know if I'm overthinking this 😂 but my little boy is crawling like a maniac at the moment. We have hard laminate floor throughout our house. We live in a bungalow so its literally everywhere. We do have a huge rug in the lounge. But even still I just worry that he must be really hurting his knees, he has little bruises? Just worries me abit about long term issues.

Insanely grumpy/angry toddler

Is anyone else's 18/19 month old super crabby all the time? I feel like there's something wrong but she's also not talking yet so I feel like maybe she's mad about not being able to communicate? She points to things but no actual words yet. Feel like I'm losing my mind 😀

Crying at everything

Any one else toddler suddenly just crying at everything?
Have to have a bath, cry! have to get out of the bath cry! have to brush teeth, cry! Have to sit down and eat, cry! Have to go to bed, cry!
I understand they have big emotions but all the crying is exhausting especially at things they have been doing everyday for the last almost 3 years 🤯

Not weight bearing

Just wondering if any of your babies are not weight bearing still? My boy turns one end of the month and is yet to weight bear at all or crawl. He rolls very well and can spin himself about on his tummy to get about but no weight bearing or crawling. We have another health visitor appointment at 13 months to check progress but there’s been no progress yet since his check at 10 months.

Still not talking

Hey all, I know we shouldn't compare our babies and they all progress at their own rate, but it's starting to stress me that my little one can't talk yet. He's got no words at all, except occasionally daddy but even that we're not sure if it's what he's trying to say or just a coincidence. He babbles all the time and really looks like he's trying to talk to us about something but none of it is real words.

I can see that my poor boy is getting frustrated at not being understood or being able to communicate his wants and needs properly. He's a very clever boy, just no words.

I'll be taking him to a speech and language clinic as suggested by the health visitor and they're doing a hearing test referral for him. It's just so hard to wait and not know what's going on.

Anyone else's little one not talking yet? Or had any experience with any of this?

Anyone else’s baby?

Anyone’s baby copying you yet?
I have. 5 and half month old and she’s clapping when I clap but that’s about it she won’t copy me with anything else she also doesn’t respond to her name when does this all start happening?
She’s crawling tho… but she’s also very agitated too?? What does this mean?? She’s constantly whining all the time…. Does this have something to do with teeth?

Discipline

How are you teaching our toddlers no? I try and say no in a firm stern voice but it just invokes him to do it more eg putting his hands in the mop bucket or drain 😭🫠

People not understanding baby/toddler is leading to meltdowns.

My 13 month old is very chatty and has about 20 words. He has about 5-6 very clear words and the rest are unclear, for example eeee for tree or hop for help.

He gets incredibly frustrated when left with other family members as they cannot understand what he is saying (not at nursery). This often leads to throwing himself on the floor, throwing objects or getting upset. Often this happens because he is asking for something, like help or certain thing and the other person doesn’t understand.

Does anyone have this problem? Or a similar problem.

Baby not walking yet!

Anyone else’s baby has no interest in walking? My baby can walk with one hand assistance, pulls to stand, squats for objects, cruises, crawls everywhere but he doesn’t want to even attempt to walk.

I try and get him to but he instantly flops to the ground and goes back to crawling.

I will just add that I am not concerned about this but looking for helpful tips or advice.

Thanks girlies xx

Toddler tantrums

How are you mamas dealing with the tantrums especially when out in public?
We went to the store today and my toddler wanted out of the cart, so we let her walk but she kept on running off so we’d grab her to bring her back to us and she would start screaming😵‍💫 I don’t want my kids to be addicted to screens so that’s not an option but I just need advice on how to handle it

2 year old not listening

I know this is silly because she’s 2 why would she listen but honestly lately my LO has just stopped listening altogether. She’s also a runner and if she sees a open door or busy road she makes a B-line which isn’t helped by the lack of listening 😔 anyone else experience this around this age? Shes 2&3 months

Would you take offence?

Earlier picking up my youngest from nursery, we were chatting to his key worker and said it’s our eldest’s birthday today. She said oh happy birthday to him (his was on my husband’s shoulders) and then said oh he probably doesn’t even realise it’s his birthday. I quickly said of course he understands and then we all walked off.

It’s not sat right with me as she was his old key worker at nursery and knows him. She was the one who initially thought he was autistic. For her to say he doesn’t understand really shocked me as I know he does understand.

Do you think I’m overthinking it?

Not saying any words

Anyone’s LO not saying any words? He does a lot of babbling and can only say cat. Should I worry or is it too early to worry?
