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

Is anyone else’s kids suddenly stuttering a little? My LO is a really good talker and has been for quite some time.

I have a 17 month old. Very smart little girl, knows her abcs, can count to 10, know all her animal sounds and just very smart all around but, every so often she does something new that just makes me concerned and question like… is this normal?

I have no idea what to get my 7 month baby boy for Christmas Could anyone share ideas of what they have got? He’s very active - loves rolling around and trying to crawl! Thank you!

This photo is progress! It’s not been the easiest 4 months with my 3 year old ( he is non verbal and currently being assessed for ASD) so explaining to him about a little brother was difficult! Although he can’t stand it when he cries or makes too much noise he gets rather upset about it! (My Fred is a chatty one ...

I mean, I’m not one to complain usually bc my LG has always been a huge fan of her dad but these days? She’s literally my shadow. Wherever I am, she must also be there. If I’m going somewhere, she’s holding tight onto my clothes and follows me. Is this a thing with 1 year olds? I’m so confused

Right, my little lad going under the bed covers he’s seven and I’ve told him countless of times not to do it because it’s dangerous now he’s done it again tonight and he was hyperventilating.

My son has been nonverbal his whole life up until now and the only word he says is mommy and he says it 1000000 times in a row each time. I’m overwhelmed with happiness that he’s finally speaking but also a bit annoyed that he says it so much. Is it normal for them to say it so much?

My toddler gets so upset and bites when she’s angry. And everytime I have a big reaction to it she just cries and it breaks my heart. How do I get her to stop biting?

Has anyone put their 7 month olds in pull ups yet? My little one has been crawling for about 3 weeks and it’s just getting really hard to change his nappy because he just makes a break for it at every opportunity 😂 my cousin suggested putting him in pull ups for easiness..

I keep seeing them advertised as 36months+ the lowest I’ve seen is 12months+ but my baby is crawling so i thought she would maybe use it. Does anyone have experience with this? Am I wasting my money getting one ?

So my son was born mid-November 2023, and he doesn't look anywhere near walking independently yet. He's been crawling since 6.5months, pulls on furniture and can walk around with support, including the pre walker toys that you push around. However it seems that he steps very gingerly, often has his toes scrunched, a...

No specific reason for this post! But I just can’t believe our babies are almost 1!!! I love him that much it hurts!! 💙 (Even if he is going through a clingy phase)

Can anyone recommend any sensory things to help my boy stop touching my hair🫠 He’s 3 and is obsessed with rubbing his hands in my hair and his younger cousins hair.
