Okay so my non verbal nearly 3 year old who couldn’t speak at all really until he started saying “more” & “mama” which was great now all he is saying is mummy and daddy but in an American accent? For reference we are Scottish lol. Like how? Where is he getting this from hahaha.

Girls I need some advice/ someone to talk to my little girl turn 3 months old yesterday but I would say for the past month she prefers the bouncer over me cuddling her ( which I know there’s a lot more to do in the bouncer) but even if I do books/activities with her she won’t participate unless she’s sat up with a b...

I bought some books for my LO when she was 1, just because I thought they’d be cute—haha. I didn’t grow up in a reading household (not even bedtime stories!), but now at 2, she’s obsessed with books. She’d rather read than play with toys! I haven’t done anything special to encourage it, so now I’m wondering— Is thi...

So my almost 11 month old can only army crawl. He can sit unaided but cannot get into the sitting position independently.

When is this normally?

My 21 month old is becoming more and more difficult to have around other children. I keep being told my friends/family/nursery that his behaviour is normal but it's really hard to be the mum of the boy who hits out, who swipes things in anger and who bites. Hes a really cuddly loving boy who will cuddle adults and c...

My 3.5 yo is going through a strange phase! Constantly putting his fingers and/or toys etc in his mouth. Anyone else going through the same thing?

My son will be 2 on May 5 & I’m starting to worry that he has speech delay, he can only say a good handful of words, I was wondering if anyone else’s toddler is going through the same thing or if I should just bring it up at his next dr’s appointment.
