Speech?

I’m really worried about my 16 month old speech. He used to say mama but no longer says it and now talks a lot of gibberish. He rarely responds to his name. I’m worried he is autistic

Whining

Does anybody else’s 2-2 1/2 year old just whine over everything? My son will be 2 1/2 next month and he literally whines for everything. Even if i’m calm , & i tell him not to do something he whines. He’s been a little cry baby lately but maybe he’s just sensitive. The terrible 2’s is deff a thing lol

Skip crawling?

I have a feeling my son is gonna skip the crawling stage and go straight to walking. He shows no interest in wanting to crawl. But wants to constantly stand. He takes steps with support. Anyone else’s LO skip the crawling stage? He’ll be 9 months on Sunday.

Toddler touching down - please help no judgement

Hi mamas, please no judging but I’m extremely worried about my toddler. I’ve just went to change her nappy tonight before bed and as I was half way there I saw a spider on the wall, so I went grabbed tissue to kill it before my toddler sees it and screams. In the meantime I had left my LG with the fresh nappy open b...

Not listening to a word I say

Anyone else’s toddler just completely ignoring you.. I feel like I’m constantly repeating myself and it’s a constant battle atm. If I tell her off she doesn’t even take me seriously. At home and out and about she just doesn’t listen to any simple instructions and it’s becoming really difficult to remain calm as a pa...

Are your march babies talking yet? Using 2 or 3 words together ?

Hey mommies, I’m not worried much but just started wondering lately, are your babies using 2 or 3 words together yet? Or maybe talking in full sentence? Mine repeats pretty much all the words and independently uses a lot of them but he won’t say even 2 words together, no matter what all we try. Is there anything th...

Kneeling in the bath but not the floor

Baby is now able to kneel and crawl on his knees in the bath, but when on the floor he is still only army crawling. I’m wondering what it is about the bath which has him doing this but not attempting it in general 🤔 Any other babies doing similar? The army crawl has been going on for about two months now and I…

Tantrums at 10 months?!

Is anyone else dealing with tantrums?! I was not prepared for them to start this early 😅 For example if I tell her no, or take something away that she can’t have (a remote that she’s figured out how to take the back off, our outdoor shoes that for some reason she wants to lick the soles) it ends up with her…

6 week screams

Nope, he is just pissed because he is 6 weeks old lol We did get an excellent pep talk about purple crying and colic from the pediatrician who also had an angry 6 week old son at one point. How are ...

LO not soothed in car

Any tips appreciated 🥲 baby won’t settle in car seat. It’s like a ticking time bomb where he starts to fuss and then will scream crying until he’s taken out. He stares at me from his mirror, I just think he can’t understand why he can see me but I’m not picking him up. I reach across and hold a dummy in his mouth…

First word gaslighting

I think I'm going mad! My daughter has been saying mum/ mumma constantly for the past few weeks and then she started to say daddy (both very clearly!) Over the last couple of days. Both my partner and eldest daughter keep telling me that it's wishful thinking and its not a word and that I'm making it up. Even thou...
