Delayed speech

My LB turned 2 in January but his speech isn’t great. He can say around 20/25 singular words and a few statements like “ready steady go” etc. Just wondering if anyone else’s little ones are taking a bit longer with their speech too?

Sucking hands

Hi all, my 2 month old has started sucking on his hands a lot. He has a dummy but seems to prefer his hands at the moment and is fed frequently and until he's full. Does anyone else's baby do this? 😅

Anyone else’s LO keep closing one eye?

My little girl keeps closing her left eye but I don’t know if it’s because she has a problem with it, or if she’s doing it because she discovered she can?! 👀

My little boy is 14 months old. I went back to work when he was 9 months old. I work part time mon-wed 9-5. He goes to a childminder & our parents and they always say he’s good as gold.

What's your favorite non-cuss expletive?

I had a bit of a foul mouth before my daughter, so I had to adjust as quickly as I could! Luckily I had a bit of practice guarding my words when I worked as a ski instructor (lots of Littles in some classes), but my family and friends tend to make fun of me when they hear me "not curse" now lol so I'm curious, what ...

Tantrums

How are people dealing with tantrums? My 18 month old boy is having the worst temper tantrums recently when he gets told “no” he’s hitting, biting and kicking me and he’s also started hitting and biting his little sister (4 months old) and I honestly don’t know how to stop it. He’ll shout and scream until he’s blue...

Walking

My daughter’s 14 months old and not walking or standing on her own. She’ll walk holding my hands and that’s it, would much rather crawl or waddle on her knees. Should I be worried? I see others younger or around the same age walking

My daughter cries when I sing

So as the post says, my 2 and a half year old daughter cries when I sing, she’s fine with nursery rhymes etc but when I sing properly she cries and gets really upset. I’m very good at singing so it can’t be because it sounds awful so I don’t understand why she hates it so much. I’m just wondering if I’m doing someth...
