Is it possible for a 5 month old to be talking? My mom and I clearly heard her say “hi” twice today and when she was crying I heard “mamma” three times today.

My little one still hasn’t started saying simple words yet, she just about says mama and perhaps the word for food and water in my language, hi, bye, no and car. I’m starting to get really concerned because I see other children her age that are saying upwards of 200 words and even forming small sentences. I try to t...

Hey, my baby is 7 and a half weeks and started fussing more. He’s crying a bit more often. He’s okay when held. Has this happened to anyone else?

Are yalls baby crawling? If so how did you help them start?

Is anyone elses little one not saying mama or dada yet? She can say a few other words in her own little way. I know she understands who mama and dada are but just won’t say the words. I’m not too worried about her speech yet, just wondering if it’s weird that she doesnt say those two words yet.

My 15 month old is very active but he is my first child so I can’t compare him Please share

Are your lo's already attempting to feed themselves? I love it and hate it cause I just want him to stay my baby a bit longer😭 Lol ignore the dusty floor. High winds while living in the dust bowl area don't mesh.

Hi mamas! I was wondering if anyone could give me tips on getting my daughter to talk more, she’s almost 2 and I don’t expect her to speak full sentences but she’s only really saying mama and dada. What was the best way you were able to teach them to talk more, we read books, sound things out, say things slow but no...

My son 23 months only says a handful of words and only when he wants to never when asked he is a happy little boy runs around climbs everything I just wish he could talk to me is anyone else in same situation ? He can follow actions to songs can follow some simple instructions can tell me what he wants by pointing c...

We have a playpen in our playroom that is baby proofed, closed, and full of age appropriate toys. I've been struggling keeping up with chores lately now that baby wants to crawl everywhere, so I've been putting her in her playpen for 5-10 minutes so I can get a little bit done. My baby doesn't seem to mind at all, s...

I don’t know if anyone’s little ones have done this or something similar, but my son maybe 2 weeks ago started doing this sound in his throat and voice ( it sounds like if you was to clear your throat if you had something in it ) but it’s got to the point where he’s constantly doing it throughout the day, I then men...

Does anyone else’s baby cry when they meet new people or strangers. It’s weird 😩 my baby will wave at some people and blow kisses but other times he will cry so loud I have to soothe him in public . I’m not sure what it means or how to handle it. We try and do something outside everyday so I want him to adjust to…

Hi all my nearly 23mo LG is still not saying any words 🙁 spoke to the HV about 6 weeks ago and she wasn’t concerned yet and nursery have said they’re not worried but sent her home with a form to fill in today about progress and obviously she’s no where near the speech categories for 2yo - we do everything we can to…

Does anyone else's baby get bored in the house? I swear my baby hates the house

So my little boys started showing early signs of crawling soon and people think he’ll start in a few weeks but i feel like he’s far too young (5.5months) so I’d appreciate it if parents whos babies started crawling early could let me know when they started, i feel like i need time to prepare myself and my house for ...

Baby suddenly throwing a tantrum every time I put him in his buggy ( but he loves going outside and once I manage to wrestle him in is calm and happy). What could be bothering him? Anyone else with this experience?

Is anyone else's LO leg tremor or jitter?

Are your 5 year old going through a phase of breaking their toys??? I'm losing it over this, it feels like every day he has broken another toy. My next door neighbor does this too and she's the same age and I feel like was a little influenced from her but I also think maybe he's just exploring but it's getting out o...

I don’t have a better word than mean, I know she’s just acting her age but it’s driving me crazy and idk how to tackle this. Toddler is almost 3 and baby is almost 1 (June birthdays). The issue I’m having is that my toddler won’t let the baby do anything. If she’s playing contently and he touches his own baby toy...

Is your 9 month old crawling yet?
