How are people teaching their LO to speak? I’ve seen a couple of posts saying they can say a couple of words and my LO is still saying ‘yaya’ ’rara’ etc but not actually any words or meanings :( any advice?

Hey my 15 month old boy is being a right handful at the moment, he’s crying if he doesn’t get his own way wants to be held all the time and can’t bare if I’m just gone for even a second he only wants to play when he’s sitting on me and I have to be close by. If I’m washing up he’s hovering around my legs wining and...

Ladies. I'm struggling. My kid is the kid you can hear screaming in every corner of the store. His scream could wake the dead and break glass. The tantrums just started since he started daycare and they're intense . How are you reacting to the tantrums?

I posted about this not long ago but didn’t have a good video but managed to get a better one today. Is this normal? I’m starting to get a bit worried and drs won’t take me seriously because he’s forward on his milestones so keep saying normal baby behaviour but I don’t see any other babies doing this is often and...

So as of this morning my little boy can now walk whilst holding my hands, he only turned 6 months yesterday and can’t crawl yet so I’m just wondering if i should be encouraging this new skill with walkers ect or if i should try and stop it until he’s mastered crawling x

My son is 11 months old and has been seen by a development worker. She said he scored low in every section and has referred him to a speech therapist, physio therapist, and occupational therapist. He doesn’t roll over, sit without help, respond to his name, barely looks at you, and won’t eat solids except yogurt. I ...

So my 10 and a half month daughter is an early talker. She said her first word at just 9 months (dada) she’s now 10 and a half months and she says “Dada, Dad, Nanna,Nan,oki meaning Loki for my dog, she also says yeah and even grandad … all these words are so so clear and she knows the people with the words, tried to...

Can I see some ages of when your babies started to crawl? Nearly 9months and he’s just picking his bum up but that’s it. I’m getting impatient 😂😂

My son is 22m and recently started humming in the mornings and when he’s bored. I was wondering if anyone went through the same thing and how I can best support him.

Does anyone else's baby bottom lip tremor for no reason? And also when breastfeeding, he'll do it while suckling too??

My daughter has never been huge. Shes 88cm tall but has the tiniest frame. She was 2 beginning of feb. I still have to buy 12-18 months to fit on the waist. It seems she has a longer torso and shorter legs too. Shes stayed the same weight for about 9 months now but shes beyond active like they think shes highly like...

I'm not really a fan of the phrase, I know that at this age they are trying to regulate these new big emotions and learning lots of new things but jeeeeeezzzz what in the world is going on?! Is anyone really struggling? My LG has this rage that is actually quite scary! She hits, kicks and has now started pulling ha...

My baby boy is 16 months and he doesn’t stand, he’ll walk along the sofa but he won’t stand or do any steps. Is anyone else baby like this? Should I worry?

I’m in ECE. I’ve been my kids daycare teacher which is what made me see that he did things differently compared to children his age. I know we shouldn’t compare but things weren’t looking typical. We moved to a new city and so we waited until this week to get him evaluated through early intervention. I told them I w...

Everyone thinks it’s a quirk but I’m starting to grow concerned. My daughter has said multiple words since she was very young BUT she says them repeatedly for a day or two then never says its again. She has NEVER babbled only screeched. (Although she’s now she’s trying to babble more) She’s now 13 months and say...

Does anyone else loose their cool over their kids not properly pronouncing words right and how are you guys dealing with that ? I just lost my cool on my 2 y/o it’s been a long day. I was folding laundry and she comes and keeps saying she wants “task “ idk and still don’t know what she was referring too I’m sure th...

So I’ve noticed my 6 month old is on the quieter side. He does laugh when I make funny sounds and smiles and knows his name when I say it. I just noticed he’s not much of a babbler or makes any loud vocal sounds. I did fill out information for early intervention. Anyone else have a 6 month old that is on the quiet ...

Anyone else's 2 year old not saying anything yet?

Any one else’s baby do everything but crawl?😂 I have a rolly polly he just rolls his way to things instead of crawling.
