2 year old tantrums out of control

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. ...

Has anyone’s kiddo been or is in speech?

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...

Anyone with a velcro toddler?

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...

Challenging behaviour

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...

Wheezing/heaving Noise when laughing

My 9mo has started making a strange heaving sort of noise when he's laughing or gets excited. It sounds like he's struggling to get air out but only when he's hyper and excited. He seems fine otherwise and doesn't do it all the time, so I'm thinking I probably don't need to worry about it just yet but wondering if a...

Screaming newborn

My baby is still not crawling, rolling or pulling up

We're approaching 11 months now, and he's just chilling 😅 Anyone else? Also, I received the paperwork 2 weeks ago for his 10-month review and got a message to book in his developmental review meeting, but the earliest slot they have is June! He will be 15 months by that point. Is anyone else having to wait 3…

My baby is 13 months old and she only says a couple words randomly every once in a while. When do babies start learning how to talk better?

Baby is STILL not crawling

So my boy is still not crawling, should I be getting concerned? He so clearly wants to move, but doesn't know how to and does try and get on to his knees from his tummy but hasn't come close to being successful yet. He's been sitting up since about 5 months, has been rolling since 6 months. I will say when I put h...

Any experience will be appreciated

Hello! I am a mummy of an 2.5 year old toddler and walking on eggshells not to cause a meltdown 😩. Apart from the meltdowns ( to be fair any toddler could have those), he stimms quite a lot (either flapping his hands or running up and down and do sideglancing), he has high tolerance into pain, he tends to run away…
