We’ve had tantrums, clinginess, throwing himself back and arching his back when having his nappy changed, screaming in protest at things, screaming at bedtime, like what an earth has happened to my baby he’s so miserable? Anyone else in the same boat?

My girl isn’t counting yet or doing her Alphabet. She’s can repeat pretty much anything I say to her but she doesn’t know them on her own or understand them. She knows her colors well and has sentences. She talks a lot just worried about her numbers and letters. I bought her some number books recently but she really...

My little one doesn't seem to want to talk. He understands a lot of words but will not say them himself. All he really says is mama and dada but even those are rare. What can I do? Should I be concerned?

We have noticed this last week my little boy sits there with his fingers in his mouth, he’s done it in the past a couple of times and we have ignored it, but it’s got worse this last week. Do I say anything or ignore it? I suppose it’s like sucking ur thumb, maybe gives the same comfort?

Anyone else in same position my lb barely speaks he can say mama and dada some other animal noises never consistent never when asked and doesn’t babble much worrying why he isn’t he can do everything else he understands instructions go get shoes , shut the doors but no words

My 18 month old just won’t walk Independently. He walks holding my hands walks holding just 1 hand. Walks with his walker, along all the furniture has done for months!!! But will not walk independently. It’s so hard to not be so fed up but no matter what I do he just won’t do it. I try to stand him in a corner to w...

Is my toddler the only one doing this Yells & cries if I look at him… if the dog gets close. Any little things he goes crazy! Is this what terrible twos mean? It is QUITE ANNOYING

Have your baby laughed yet? Mine was born in 30/11 and haven’t yet. She smiles quite a lot but rarely makes sound.

Are your toddlers putting two words together in a phrase yet ? Or just single words atm.

My boyfriend has said that I am too soft with our 18 month old and it’s impacting on him and our family. This was after a bit of a tantrum out at the supermarket.. I asked him to explain what he meant and he said I always give him what he wants like I will wait to change his nappy on his terms or I will wait til he’...

I know that “no reaction” is advised but it doesn’t help in our case!

Is anyone’s little one not talking yet? Mine babbles all day and says ‘dada’ ‘mama’ but nothing else yet!

At baby classes I feel like there’s quite a big difference between my LO and other babies her age (7m). She is very chilled and quiet, like she sits there just taking it all in, other babies are more vocal, screeching and constantly rolling about and trying to play etc, my girl is more vocal at home and wants to p...

My 2 year old son is absolutely obsessed with itsy bitsy spider, Spider-Man and spiders in general. It’s been this way for about 3/4 months. It’s been two days of me limiting how much we listen to/ sing the song and he’s doing much better with that than the previous times I’ve tried to cut back. However, now his toy...

She is just a ball of giggles and sunshine one day, followed by 3 days of being unpredictable and unhinged... and then sweet and calm again for a few days. On the unpredictable and unhinged days, she cries or screams no matter how you interact with her, be that telling her "no" when she throws toys or plays too roug...

Yall. I’m SO TIRED of repeating myself. But maybe she just actually can’t hear me?

How often do we need to do this? I want to buy my LB some new shoes but my mum says i need to get his feet measured properly every time and not to just buy any shoes as LB has wide feet
