Does anyone else’s baby pay no attention when you say not to do something? My 19 month old definitely used to respond to no (although may not have actually stopped doing whatever it was). No it is like we aren’t even there saying no, just completely ignores us. I suspect it is a developmental thing and she is test...

Answer honestly please ladies, how many words does your child say?

How or when do you have time to read with a toddler? I have a 22 month old that i have to constantly entertain. She will sit and read with me sometimes but not long enough. Any tips?

Anyone else’s little one flapping their hands and legs/feet? He does it a lot when he’s excited. My daughter never done this so this is completely new for us lol. I’m assuming it’s normal but just want to see how many others are like it and whether I need to bring to the attention of my health visitor.

Is there any little ones (born July 2023) still not walking? Our little girl still isn’t walking. She would rather walk on her knees. She pulls herself up on furniture and she will walk if she holds our hands or a walker but not without. The HV has referred us but it’s an 8 month wait apparently so just wonderin...

Hello I have a 5 week old and 20 month old. Since the new baby has been born my toddler is obsessed with her and wants to be near her constantly but she doesn't know her own strength and often accidentally hurts her. If I try to gently move her away she hits either me or the baby or throws something. She is worst wh...

Please give me allll your tips to keep your patience with your 2 year old. It seems I’m not as patient as I thought 🙈 the tantrums and ramping up and I can’t realistically teach my child patience if mine is terrible

I can’t cope with these noises at night anymore! It’s constant and getting worse… anyone else?

is your baby saying "mama" or "dada" yet? my son just makes "g" sounds and mostly babbles. i remember his ped telling me he should be saying mama by 9 mo???????

How much does y’all’s little ones talk. My son is 21m and says maybe 3 words he knows sign language pretty well. We are in speech therapy 2 times a week but haven’t had any progress. I’m just curious on where y’all’s are at!

My LO is starting to be quite difficult to negotiate with on absolutely anything and now when we’ve had to force her to do something (like siting on her carseat or buckling up) she started to be aggressive. As of yesterday, I started to teach her to take a deep breath and hug herself tight whenever she feels angry ...

Anyone else feel like all their toddler does is constantly cry, whine and throw tantrums. I can’t even go to shops etc with toddler in pram!!!

Count down to 2 years. My toddler isn’t talking or speaking enough words. He sings some songs but I don’t don’t why he can’t mention words. When did your two year toddler get conversant with words/ speech. I feel the pediatrician would send us to a speech therapist.🥹

OK, so I’m not sure if I’m overthinking, but my twins are around 13 months. My daughter is only standing with support. She’s not walking, she’s not saying any words. When I try to get her to walk with her walker, her feet are outward & she barely has any strength in her legs. My son is standing & walking unsupported...

My son has been to the doctors twice in the last 2 months about his ears. He keeps putting his finger inside and is doing this head bobbing thing on the video like it's hurting him. The head thing isn't all the time just sometimes. Each time the nurse has looked in them and said they are fine

Hi, my little girl for the last month 2 has been saying ‘ah’ or ‘eh’ for everything and pointing. She does say mama, dad/daddy, bubba, we think apple 😂, and nan nan aswell as making a few sounds like ‘oof oof’ for dog and ‘ooo’ for moo. My partner is concerned by the ah / eh sound. Just wondered if any of your…

my daughter is 6 months and started weaning last week. it's going pretty well but after a while she starts crying uncontrollably and soooo loudly! anyone else had this? is it a sign she isn't quite ready? it's very stressful😅

Is anybody else’s toddler obsessed with their phone?!!! I let her have it to watch YouTube videos when I have to get on with stuff but try to minimise it as much as I can, but recently she’s getting really obsessed with it and it’s driving me insane, having meltdowns when I tell her no. Please tell me I’m not the on...

My baby hates tummy time and I’ve tried so many times but she never seems to like it and isn’t crawling yet and isn’t saying much words…should I be worried?? I see other babies crawling and trying to talk at 7mnths

My girl is 7 months now, she was very early on crawling, saying words and more and NOW I have a standing baby who can take a step or two all by herself before falling over 🥹 I’m so proud of her, she even stands up alone and completely unassisted on me and her dads bed as well. Her doctor was very impressed how…
