Community Posts, Tips & Support on Baby Milestones

So my baby boy is not doing much in terms of milestones. He does know how to give high 5 and picks up book when I ask where the book is . This is it. I have tried to teach him how to clap, wave goodbye etc but he is not showing interest to learn. My first one did all that when he was around 9 months. Don’t wanna c...

Not sure if my son is doing good for his age, dreading the two year health visitor check!

Anyone else have a walking and climbing almost 7 month old? He tries to climb on the couch using his toys. I can’t believe my tiny baby isn’t so tiny anymore. It doesn’t feel real 😢😭

Does anyone else’s baby have toenails like this? I don’t remember my first having these. I’m worried he’s going to get ingrown toenails because they seem to go straight into the skin

My little boy definitely said his first word with real meaning/understanding today...door 😂😂 we thought he said it so I asked him where is the door and he took my hand, led me to the door, pointed and said door! He actually means doorbell and that he wants to press it repeatedly 🤦🏻‍♀️ He has always been babbling…

Hi all, my sister helps watch my 6 month old while Im working. Today she informed me that my baby rolled off the bed and fell on the floor while she was making a bottle. She’s currently napping and my sister stated that she seems OK and no bump on head(yet) Is there anything we should watch out for that may be conce...

my happy smiley chilled baby boy has changed these last few weeks. He has been unwell on and off through this time but I feel like his behaviour is becoming very difficult. He’s joint to my hip at the moment, whenever I put him down he just cries or groans to be picked back up. Even when he’s in my arms he tenses up...

Anyone else baby stroke them whilst they’re feeding. Last few days he’s starts stroking my top or my skin depending what is there at the time? It’s so cute and so calm as well it’s like he’s beginning to have more control over his movements 🥹

My baby girl is 5 months 2 weeks old. She has recently started shaking her head side to side a lot - when lying down. Are anyone else’s babies doing this? I understand it’s a self soothing thing, but she did it at a sensory class today & only recently had a nap so wasn’t tired 🤣

Anyone else’s 18 months old just turned SUPER clingy? I literally can’t get anything done! She wants to be held all the time, her dad just tries to touch her or cuddle her she runs to me crying, I can’t go to the toilet alone, or cook, or clean, or God forbid walk away from her more than 1 meter… It’s exhausting!

How are you getting your little ones to talk, my LO is 13 months and only says “dada, cat, and cece”

How is everyone teaching right from wrong? My daughter is 20 months. Temper tantrums in full swing but how are we supposed to teach right from wrong? Like hitting when we say no, head butting, even just saying no when they try to open cupboard etc

Is there such thing called the terrible 3s because my son has been off the hook lately and I dunno if it has to do with the time change or what but he’s been so moody lately

I have a 13 month old and I find he doesn’t say much aside from loud babbles all day long and the occasional waves and clapping. Anyone have this experience? I believe by now he should be interacting a bit more.

What speech sounds are you hearing at 8 months? My little girl only makes ah/eh noises currently..

This is everything he can do he cannot clap or point yet is this okay?

Hey guys need a little advice! My little girl has just started banging her head on the coffee table etc when we tell her no or she begins to have a meltdown. Is this a phase? Anyone else experienced this?

LO is 10 months and attempting to crawl. He’s going backwards and is trying to go forwards. We have hardwood floors downstairs and every time he tries to go forwards his legs slip from under him. I’ve put his playmat down which is non slip underneath and a blanket over it but the blanket slips when he’s trying to go...

My little one is 1 next Monday and he’s still not crawling or walking or anything. He rolls everywhere to get to where he wants and I try to encourage him to get on his knees or stand on his feet but he just doesn’t want to or he can’t and I find it so hard to see other babies his age doing a lot more than what he c...

Does anyone feel like there 16m old is just constantly whinging all day everyday. I try to stay calm but she just literally whinges and cries for no reason, more than she don’t. Why is this and when does it stop because it’s doing my head in.
