My little boy crawled for the first time last night, and now he won’t stop, honestly it felt like such a proud mom moment. He was born the 29th of July, and I’ve seen other babies crawling for ages and he’s finally done it

Doesn’t like putting on certain clothes (long, sleeves, new fur vest given as a gift, puffy jacket but eventually puts it on etc) Doesn’t like getting hands “dirty” with paint, water on hands or arms at times unless ...

Still putting everything in mouth, autism and adhd concerns

My toddler is still putting everything in her mouth and she tends to chew on her fingers a lot. Is this normal at this age or should they have outgrown this by now? She’s exhibiting some concerning behaviours like shrugging her shoulders becoming irritable and sleepy during the day. She’s not sleeping through the ni...

Do 2 year olds lie, maliciously?

Hey guys I'm posting incognito because I've came across my sisters on this platform, don't want them going back to my mother about it before I get a chance to approach her. But anyways, the past 3 or 4 weeks now my son is point blank ignoring everything I say when he normally listened beforehand. He'll listen to hi...

Not crawling

Morning! Just wondered if anyone else was in the same boat. 10mo LG has absolutely zero desire to crawl. My eldest was on hands and knees at 9mo so this is new to me. He didn’t walk unaided until nearly 16m so I know it all varies but the 1 year review questionnaire we have to fill…well I won’t be ticking much atm…

Update

I posted this a while back (says 2 weeks ago) and she started walking about a week ago! Don’t get me wrong she still mostly crawls and we still have to encourage the walking however she’s definitely taken her first steps, and she’s done ‘a few steps’ (10ish) loads of times now. No running yet but it’s definitely a s...

Moaning/whining

Does this sound like moaning/whining? My friend said it doesn’t and now I’m concerned it may be vocal stimming linked to autism?

I want to hear your experiences!

Hi mamas. My son is almost 16 months old, 13.5 adjusted due to prematurity and has been recommended for an autism evaluation. We have 5 scheduled because I want multiple opinions to ensure a proper diagnosis. I know every child is different but a lot of children share similar traits. My questions are: When did y...
