My 7.5 month old boy, the last few days he’s just randomly screaming high pitched, not in an upset way or frustration, like he’s either trying to be (annoying😂) /funny or he’s just learning what his voice can do? At the moment he hasn’t done it in public but he does use his voice quite often in some kind of way, I…

Having an anxious moment of wondering if this is normal

So my nearly 2 year old has autism. We are in the process of having it diagnosed but from working with it its something I know he has. He's very simulated by hitting and slapping on legs and objects and really hurts. Recently he has become a nightmare. When told off or asked to stop he will go out of his way to hit ...

Hi everyone, my 8 month old baby has started nursery and it's been two weeks and every time I pick her up they inform me she's quite unsettled. She's only there for 3-4 hours. Does it get better? How long did it take your LO's to settle in?

My son is 8 months old and the evening screaming is driving me mad. From his bed time onwards he wakes and screams till given a boob like nothing works to soothe him he is my third baby so every trick I have just doesn't work. He will literally scream for hours until it's been so long he is hungry again! Anyone else...

My two year old is showing lots of signs of autism and tonight when leaving grandparents they said bye and he turned away and I said bye and they said he used to say bye and I was so upset inside 😢😞 I wish I could bring him into my world, I feel like something is missing, he feels so far away even though he's there…

Anyone else’s 3 year old all of a sudden turned really emotional? Crying at the smallest things really frequently? There haven’t been any big changes at home or nursery recently to have caused it 🤷🏻‍♀️

For a week my baby has been winging, crying all day!!! He’s being very sensitive as well which is also new, taking a wire to charge phone off him as he keeps putting the end in his mouth, cries his eyes out, lay him down to change nappy, BAWLS his eyes out, falls on bum from standing up, cries and cries until you st...

Anyone’s LO scratching the sides of their head, just above the ears? My son has started doing this yesterday, usually when he’s feeding. He has very little and very fine hair so I can see there aren’t any spots or cuts etc. Any ideas why he might be doing this? Could it be linked to him teething? Should I get him ch...

I have a 10 month old and she’s been hitting/scratching my face when upset and angry how should I be reacting to this ? I get frustrated as it upsets and generally hurts me she claws at my face and smacks me and I can see it’s because she’s angry any tips to stop this ?

My little boy is having BIG reactions at the minute, to what feels like every little thing! Anyone else?!

How much is your baby able to recall at 2.5? Basic shapes, Colors of the rainbow, Facial Features (eyes, nose, ears)

My boy is really on the move now… it seems he always has a bump/bruise from knocking himself.. want to prevent it, but know it’s going to happen!! Just wanted to know I’m not alone :-)

How many words is your child speaking? Are they able to say two word sentences yet?

Like my daughter will want to do cute little things like give me a kiss, a hug, or cuddle up with me only or say she loves me because she wants something! And it’s starting to irritate me!💯 like all she wants to do is eat! All she calls me for is because she wants something from the kitchen!! Like omggg!

My baby thinks it’s funny she likes to put stuff on her face and play. She’ll take her shirts or anything she sees and cover her face I’m scared if she will suffocate one day. Have anyone experienced before ?

My little boy turned 2 in December and since then his tantrums are becoming so hard to manage! It’s everyday usually multiple times a day and he screams for over half an hour every time and I don’t even know why sometimes. Worst times are usually naps or if we’re leaving the house it’s a full tantrum everytime. ...

Hello, we got evaluated yesterday for speech. We will more than likely be starting in March to make sure we get our kid caught up. Has anyone’s kid been in speech already and graduated or is in speech now? Any success stories? It’s expensive so my husband and I can afford about 6 months of it to see how it goes...

My LB is very attached to me. Even in a room with other family members, he'd come up to me and want to sit on my lap. He wants me as his play buddy in the house. Keeps going mummy mummy when I leave the room. When I take him to the playground with his mates, he'd rather be near me than running around and playing wit...

I just need to vent because I feel like an absolute failure right now. My little boys behaviour is so challenging at the moment. He is forever shouting at us, hitting, kicking and is beginning to bite himself out of anger and frustration. No matter how calm I can be he just escalates so fast and struggles to get out...
