Baby HATES getting dressed

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.

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?

Is anyone’s else little going through a hitting phase?! He will hit us even when he’s not mad, just trying to get a reaction. And I know part of it is when he’s trying to point and ask for something but we’re not understanding what it is he wants so he will hit. We tell him “no, we don’t hit, we use gentle hands” an...

Focus

My little boy is 3.5 and is very intelligent however his focus levels have completely deteriorated. If we ask him a question that we know he knows the answer to 9/10 he won't respond we have to get his attention and ask him again and then he will answer. Any tips on increasing focus levels?

Should i be worried?

My 17 month old boy can't say many words yet... and the words he does say, he confuses the meanings sometimes. Like to say fish he says ish and to say banana he says Nana. I'm just worried he isn't communicating as much as he should be by now
