Any advice on getting baby to crawl?

9 month old isn’t really close to crawling at all. I’ve done the usual: lots of floor time, toys they want, putting them into the crawling position etc but is there anything anyone did that worked? He’s so frustrated he isn’t on the move and we are both bored now 😂 thanks!

Sitting up

Hiiii! So my daughter is 7 months and she isn’t sitting up yet but she is holding her bottle, almost crawling and turning over. Should I be worried?

Eye sync

Hi mums! I have a 3 months old and i noticed that sometimes his eyes are not quite synchronised with each other. One of the eye ball is a bit too close to the edge or so. Do I need to worry about it? Would love to hear about it from other mums who have been through the same situation 💙 Many thanks 🙏

Worried about Autism. My boy rolls his eyes and looks side way. He babbles and sing too but can only say mummy and baby very well.

The rolling of eyes to the side is giving me concern. Is it part of their normal development at this stage or should I be worried 😟

7.5 month old not laughing

My 7.5 month old doesn't really laugh. She smiles all the time and strangers in the street often call her smiler, but she rarely laughs. We can occasionally coax a giggle out of her by doing something silly but if we try and repeat the same thing another time it often doesn't work. Is this something we need to be co...

Terrible twos

Hi all, I did google it but hoping for a different answer haha I feel like my boy has been going through the whole terrible twos thing for a few months, tantrums, occasionally hitting, testing boundaries non stop; is worse when we have visitors. I know each kid is different but after a general age when it wrapped up...

I can’t tell!

My daughter is 1.5 years old. She’s met all her milestones the only thing we’re concerned about is the lack of response to her name, when we can her we have to say it several times before she actually looks at us if she does at all. Should I be concerned? Should I bring this up to her gp as an autism concern? Please...

Do you also feel this?

Been struggling lately on how I am correcting my toddler. I feel as though I don’t have enough patience and it makes me so sad to think about and on top of that so much guilt. I find myself constantly telling him no and raising my voice because he’s either not listening, throwing things in toilets, etc. typical todd...

Crawling babies

How do you leave your baby crawl away from the foam mat when they can easily fall on their head. I just feel like I can’t leave my baby for 2 seconds scared of her falling. 🥲

Autism?

My daughter is 1.5 years old and has met all her milestones, the only thing we’re concerned about is her lack of responding to her name (we haven’t put the great deal is getting her to know her name but regardless of what we call her e.g her name, baby whatever she doesn’t often acknowledge us) Is this a major red f...

Waving at the bottle?

My son is not pointing yet, but for a couple of days he occasionally waves at the bottle when he wants it. Could this be that his pointing is emerging? What do you think?

When did you stop telling people your kid’s age in months?

My toddler just turned 20 months and now suddenly I feel like I’m being obnoxious when someone asks how old he is and I say 20 months 😂🤦‍♀️ I guess it just doesn’t flow as well as ___teen months. Should I keep it going or maybe I’ll just default to “he’s almost 2” 🤷‍♀️

Saying no

Does anyone have any tips on getting 10 month old to understand the word no? At the moment he just looks at me, smiles and carries on doing what he shouldn’t be doing. If I move him away he then starts having a tantrum 🤦‍♀️
