My 9.5 month old is standing on his tip toes when he’s stood up against anything.

Is this normal? He doesn’t put his feet flat. He has no problem pulling himself up to stand at furniture and loves standing with support, but his feet are never flat?

Late crawler

Heya, my LO is nearly 11 months and still not crawling. Every time I put her into the crawl position she just rolls out of it. She can weight bear fine, and will lean forward onto her front to reach things, and will roll her way around the room but just isn’t crawling. Her sister bum shuffled so I’ve been looking ou...

I picked ...

Shoes?

Does any of your babies wear shoes and keep them on while walking?😂 I mean I’d love to take him outside and walk but there’s snow and stuff so he needs those shoes on!! But everytime I put them on he refuses to get up. I’m just curious when he’ll get used to it if anyone knows

Poorly boy- sofa day

Is it bad if we just snuggle and watch nursery rhymes/Ms Rachel? My little one is exhausted and poorly but feel bad if I'm not doing educational things?

Is your lo talking yet?

My lo started talking a bit. He says short sentences and knows some basic words nothing crazy. However I keep hearing mixed opinions on this. My mil and some mums told me how he should be speaking a lot more by now and some mums told me it's completely normal and usually talk a lot more after 2? I'm not so worried a...

18 month old hell

Is anyone else in the same boat? My little boy is 18 months and seems to be in a terrible mood all the time, there’s honestly no pleasing him at this point. He is constantly whining or saying ‘Mama’ to everything, he won’t play with any toys or anything anymore he just wants to be where ever I am doing what I am doi...

Not crawling?

When does not crawling become a worry? My little one is 8 months and won’t even attempt to crawl. She can walk while holding our fingers and is constantly pulling herself up to stand on things so i know it’s not a strength problem. When we do tummy time she just rolls herself over and won’t entertain the thought of...

Pretending to be a baby ?

Has anyone experienced where their child talks normally for their development and then around different people or throughout the day will act and talk like a baby out of no where. For example not saying full sentences however other times can say full sentences.

14 months doesn't say words

She is 14 months (nearly 15) and doesn't say any proper words. She babbles and chats gibberish all day and is good at shouting and pointing to try and communicate what she wants. However, it's no actual words. My husband and I chat to her all day and try get her to copy us but she's so stubborn and just laughs at us…

Giggle / laughing

My little girl just turned 5 months and hasn’t giggled or laughed yet. She babbles and coos and socially smiles and responds. Anyone else’s LOs the same?

LB not listening

Does anyone else's little one completely ignore them, whether I'm just chatting, asking questions or telling him to do something. It's giving me absolute RAGE. I'm fairly sure it's not a hearing problem.
