Advice!

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 ...

Kissing..

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...

Baby not clapping, pointing or waving!

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?!

Still no words

My little one is a super active boy, loves walking and climbing. But his comms isn’t coming along as quickly. He’s still to say his first intentional word (he forever babbles). He knows some instructions but just doesn’t seem in a rush to speak. We read and sing and I encourage him a lot and I don’t want to put unn...

Colouring

Every time I try to get my 18 month old to use crayons and color he always ends up having a tantrum Cuz he takes off with the crayon and tries to eat it and of course I stop him. He doesn’t sit still long enough to enjoy it. He does a few scribbles but that’s it. Is this normal for his age?

Changing table

Are you still using your changing table? My little boy is so active now I think it might be time to change him and get him dressed on floor, feels like a big milestone though 🥲

Lining up

Anyone else's 2 year old love lining up things, in particular cars? I know it can be a developmental phase however he also gets really angry if one is moved by us. Should i be worried?

Moving With Toddlers

We just moved and my sweet little 22 month old is suddenly a little menace who whines for no apparent reason and only wants his dad. Has anyone else had a move change their toddler’s behavior? How long did it last?

Is your little one pointing at things yet?

Like when you say, “where is your head?”Or do they point to things they want like food or anything?

Vibrating/shaking baby

It's not all the time, mostly when he's sleeping. His eyes don't roll back or anything it starts in his feet, goes through legs up the torso, and he pops his arms up, then readjust himself, then falls back to sleep. When he's awake, he stares off into space, and he ¿vibrates? a bit more, than he's back to focusing o...

My baby absolutely hates getting dressed and having things pulled over her head. Is that normal for this stage? They’re like proper tantrums!

Hitting! 🙃

Is anyone else’s LO started hitting we’ve turned 16months and they’ve started hitting at nursery and when told no they do it again. Anyone got any tips on how to manage this, they just find it funny instead of realising it’s bad! 😭

Remaining calm with 13 month old when having tantrums & general advice

Hi, My 13 month old has been screaming when I say no, running towards me when I say no & also not listening at all when I’m saying no when he’s throwing things or trying to redirect him from something he shouldn’t be touching etc. He’s started to bite me too and I know this could just be teething. He constantly wan...

Is this normal?

My baby is 12 and half months old and sometimes I call his name and he doesn’t look at me. He is walking, babbles (mama, papa, na na na, dra dra dra), if I say “hello?” pretending I am on the phone he puts his hand in his ear. If I ask for him to give me a toy he gives in my hand I cannot see anything that worr...

Baby milestones

I've been told not to get caught up on when babies reach their milestones but my little one seems to be doing things extra early. She's been able to roll over since 3 days old, support her own head when I'm lifting her from 7/8 days and the first time we attempted tummy time at 14 days she lifted her head and looked...

Child is Hitting

My one year old (almost 2) is hitting and throwing stuff at dad and I when she gets upset. We’ve tried positive reinforcement, simply telling her “no hitting”, redirected her, tried calming her down, 1-2 minute time outs. But none of it helps or seems to work for her. Any advice or solutions?
