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…

Crawling

Are your little ones crawling? Mine is 10m next week and genuinely has no interest in crawling? Hates tummy time. I’m worried.

Birth type and Baby Temperament?

How would everyone describe their baby's temperament in general (excluding odd blips and anomalies) and the way they were delivered? Have your babies been overall happy/calm or have they been irritable/cranky from the beginning? Are there any who have gone from one to another or is a baby's temperament set in stone ...

Does your baby walk and talk?

Can your child walk and talk? My daughter can stand up and hold on to things and walk whilst holding on but can't walk on her own, she also hasn't said any words yet. It just makes me feel like a bad parent that she's not hitting the milestones

Is your baby playing peekaboo by themselves yet?

My baby out of the blue yesterday started hiding his face behind his top, then popping back up looking excited! Now he won’t stop playing peekaboo with us and loves covering his face and reappearing ☺️

Hitting 😩

My little boy hits when he gets frustrated and that’s occasionally at me and his daddy or his friends 🥺 It’s making me so anxious and not wanting to take him out as I’m so worried that he will hurt someone. Does anybody else have the same issue?

Did you know that when a baby cries and you pick them up your actually teaching them how to soothe themselves?

I just found out and thought it was so interesting so I wanted to share. Pathways in babies brains are still developing after birth and everytime you do affects them. When you comfort a baby it strengthens the pathway of soothing and helps it become permanent. There's no set time for how long this could take as all ...

Baby slapping

For the past week now, my baby has started slapping me. Is this normal? How do I get it to stop? When she does it I say no hitting or stop with a ‘stern’ face although in response she sometimes looks at me to assess me and smiles and sometimes repeats it. I don’t want her doing this in nursery

Things to do with a 14 MO who isn’t yet walking

LO still isn’t walking so I have run out of ideas of things to do with her outside of the house, other than softplay! She’s starting to really not enjoy being in the buggy for long, as I think she wants to be walking but she can’t yet. I find myself always thinking it will be much easier when she can walk so we can ...
