Is there anyone whose toddler is still not talking at 2 years 7 months? I mean he can say around 30-35 words but mostly its babbling.

Is anyone else’s 5 month old getting a bit shouty/screamy if they don’t get their own way? Milk taking too long/bored of a toy etc?

Over the last few days my son started getting really upset when we I try to put clothes on him. It’s kind of come out of nowhere, usually he’d sit there happily while getting dressed. This morning I tried to put on a new Christmassy outfit on him and as soon as he saw me coming towards him with the sweatshirt he st...

My nearly 14 month old has just started taking 1 and 2 steps and dropping to the floor , also standing unsupported for 10 to 20 seconds, how long will it take for her to walk? What can I do to help as well? TIA x

Hey! My little boy is now 18 months old and while his motor skills are great and he seems to understand what I’m doing/asking. He doesn’t say a single word anymore. He used to say ‘cat’ and ‘please’ and ‘up’ when he was around 14 months but seems to have regressed. I’ve tried countless times to encourage him but he...

Hey, my boy is having a bad few weeks of hitting every child/baby he sees and some adults. Tried saying hands down, gentle hands etc Worked getting him to high five instead for one day but now he’s gone back to hitting. Most parents are ok as they all go through that stage but it’s hard going to playgroup and he ju...

My little one is 14 months and has been cruising furniture since around 10 month old. Still showing no signs to start walking anytime soon and prefers to drop and crawl.

Hi mums. So my 4 year old is doing very well with his sound blending and is able to sound out and read 3 letter and 4 letter words sentences. However everything must be in lower case. He struggles to sound blend for example “Dog” or “Big” but will easily read “dog” and “big”. The capital letters throw him off as the...

If yes when did they start? And what makes them laugh?

My daughter has been crying in her sleep, loudly and persistently for three nights in a row. One night, she said she had to go to the bathroom and then was fine after she did. One night she couldn't tell me what was wrong. One night she complained of leg pain. Anyone else experience this? Should I be concerned?

Everyday between around 5pm and 11pm my baby (one month old) gets extremely fussy and starts screaming and not much can calm him down. Has anyone experienced this and if so what helped?

Almost every conversation I have with one of my older family members about NOT wanting to hit my children they laugh in my face and mock me. What do y’all think? Is hitting children a requirement for good parenting and effective discipline? *spanking, “popping,” whatever you want to call a direct hit meant to shock...

We have been throught it he had glue ear for over 12 months so they thought that was the reason he wasn't talking in three weeks he will be tested for everything as he has noise and food sensory issues guess I'm wondering do you kids only not speak or do they have other issues I hope no one takes offence by the way ...

Help! My little one does do tummy time but spends more time sat, and trying to reach for toys/move forward from sitting and can’t quite figure out how to move his legs to move into a crawl position. He has also taken to wanting to stand up, he can bear his weight on his legs for a good 20 seconds (albeit wobbly). ...

Hey my 11 month old has just had a few 1 hour sessions at nursery and I dropped him off for an hour today he was very unsettled and cried a fair bit 😓 when does it get better?

So on 2 occasions when my one year old has been messing around (hitting etc) my husband told her to stop because she’s being “bad” I told him not to say that to her because she will think he’s calling her bad. We didn’t think she would remember the word but a few months went by and one day, I took something off her ...

Hi, so recently my 3.5 year old has been acting out at nursery. Pushing peers, scratching teachers. He’s also been acting out at home biting/nipping me & also hitting and pulling his 6 month old sisters hair. He has never in his life hit or done anything like this, he is such a kind hearted little boy & would never ...

My little girl is 4.5 months old. She is still yet to reach/grab things or hold anything for longer than a second. My older child (now 5) was definitely holding and reaching for things by this age. Am I overthinking this?

Hi everyone So to get straight to the point...my partner doesn't make that kiss 'sound' when he kisses me on the lips. He just places his lips on mine and then walks away. He's always done this and it became a bit of a running joke as to why he didn't do it, but (and I know this is VERY different) when he kisses o...

My 10 month old isn’t doing any of the above. No other worries - he’s crawling, pulling to stand, babbling etc. Can’t help but worry that most other babies seems to be doing at least one of these by now?!
