People are always calling my 8 month old a flirt and it drives me nuts

My 17th month old is still not walking he does stand and travel from furniture to furniture holding onto it but isn’t brave enough to take a step… His pediatrician wants therapy if not walking by his 18 month appt :(( any tips? Tricks?

I let my 7month old scream inconsolably for 20mins because I just couldn’t cope with him anymore 😭😭😭😭 i’m a monster, and I hate myself. He deserves so much better 😭😭😭😭

I'm posting incognito because I don't want to publicly shame my husband. He's amazing but I just don't know if I can trust him with the baby anymore. We are first time parents and our son is 7 months old. We have a two story home, the main level and the basement, which is finished and has our bedrooms and gym. In or...

So my little boy is gunna be 2 at the very beginning if march. How are all your little ones doing with speech / communication? My boy says certain words etc and speaks gibberish and of course i totally understand what he means, but isn't saying much. Bare in mind I'm at home alone with him and my 4m old little ...

My son just turned 15 months old and still doesn't point at anything with his finger. He doesn't understand when I ask him to show me where something is, and he can't show me where mom or grandma is, etc. Should I be worried? I've read that this is a fundamental part of communication in toddlers and that this gestur...

Hey every my little boy isn’t crawling or walking he like to pull himself up on his toy box but when you put him on his belly he shuffles round to get picked up he does not like tummy time at all . I’m seeing everyone else babies crawling / walking and hoping he does before his first birthday in two months 😭

My daughter was 1 on 14th December and she’s still not walking or standing alone. She’s cruising along the furniture, basically running up and down holding onto the sofa, climbing up everywhere and standing if she’s holding onto something. She’ll walk with her Vtech walker but I still think we’re a long way off walk...

Is anyone else’s LOs doing the above at this age?! Its driving me insane and hurts so much. Is it a development/learning milestone? Made sure her nails are short but its still so painful and I don’t know the best way to make her stop.

With him. Very combative about everything. I’m lost . He was so good before . I’m always yelling and overstimulated same as my husband

Who’s an emotional angry mess? This kid gets upset or mad over everrrrrrything now and I can’t tell if it’s a phase or maybe the iPad is an issue (I do let him use it with rules in place) I don’t know what’s up with him! Losing my head 😭

My little girl recently turned 1 and all she really says is 'hiya' but not all the time. She does spend most of her day babbling gibberish though. I feel like she's a little behind some of my friends little ones who can say 5-6 words. I know I shouldn't compare but it's so hard.

I curse quite a bit, my husband does, but not in front of our daughter. She’s 13 now, but I’ve always cursed in front of her. My husband thinks I shouldn’t, but when I tried to stop, I failed miserably, and I eventually didn’t care enough to try and stop. So instead, I figured I’d be the one to teach her about them....

My 8 week old baby has never screamed, rarely even cries during the day, and in the last week he has picked up a stunning new habit of screaming from 8pm every. single. night. Please tell me other people have had this and it goes asap?! I’m tempted to get an evening job at this rate to avoid being home 😂

I grew up getting spankings and so did my husband but we’re trying to “gentle parent” and spankings just aren’t effective, especially for our toddler. But he’s also not easy to gentle parent, he’s a typical 3 yr old, huge feelings, and constant tantrums when told no. So we usually put him in time out, we have a feel...

did/does anyone elses babies babble/talk like this? she rolls her tongue as you can see in the video🤣 not sure if this is normal or if this is just the way my girl wants to start talking hahaha Can anyone else relate or is my girl just unique🤣🥰

Is your baby respond sometimes to their name? Mine responds, but when she’s distracted or too tired, doesn’t responds. Is this happening to anyone?

My baby is just over 4 months and still hasnt had tears yet. He is a very happy baby and only whinges when he’s hungry or tired and generally those things are solved right away without too much drama. But do your babies cry with tears? I find it odd that my baby doesn’t and now I have doubt

My baby is nearly 12 weeks old and doesn't cry tears - is this normal ? Do your babies cry tears ?

Is it normal for my 2 year old to be twice pushed over in nursery to twice bang his head on the table & hurt himself on two separate occasions it’s happened now in last few months. He cried hysterically apparently. I’m not happy about this. The nursery is tiny and the boys were running around apparently the staff to...
