Baby making weird sounds

I’m not sure whether I’m being dramatic or if it is a genuine concern I should be having, my four month old stayed at my MIL home for one night last week ( they have a dog ) since he’s come back he’s been making panting/ wheezing sounds every now and then, it isn’t constant but it’s like he’s imitating a dog?😂…

Sensitivity to loud(ish) noises

My daughter is nearly 5 months and if something makes a loud(ish) noise she will jump and cry. I wasn’t worried but sometimes the noises aren’t really that loud something may drop in the kitchen or upstairs and she is very startled, she will either practically jump out of your arms scared or start crying. Should I b...

Possible autism… help?

My son just turned 3 and actually has not been diagnosed… but I’ve suspected he might be on the spectrum for a while. It runs in my family… and my son has never been hitting milestones “on time” like other kids his age. He didn’t start crawling until about 9-10 mos… and didn’t start walking until about 18 mos. His s...

Really worried about tiptoeing toddler 😫🙁😢😢

My 19mo keeps tiptoeing, very recently but sooo frequently. She can run and walk so confidently. Her paed said she met many milestones very early and quickly. But i have seen and read about loads of ‘early signs’ of autism and adhd, and how some parents dont notice these very easy-to-brushaway signs. Tiptoeing being...

Relatable ?

Does anybody else get raged when you recently just fed your baby and whoever is carrying them say “I think he’s hungry” (when they know he already ate” because I can clearly tell he is not hungry he just wants to be held up standing or wants to be walked around etc. and I know my baby best. I am never rude about it ...

Is this normal toddler behavior or not?

My 25 month old daughter isn’t speaking much. She goes “Nnnn! Nnnn!” when she wants something. I say the word of what things are (all the time) and she won’t try to repeat or even mimic anything close. Since I can’t understand what she’s “saying” or actually wants like 75% of the time, she gets super frustrated and ...

Highly sensitive child

So my kid seems to be a lot more sensitive than other kids and he cries quite a bit every time he’s redirected or even mild inconvenience. It’s just tears. I feel really bad that seems to be overwhelmed and upset when he doesn’t get his way and I’m not sure how to deal with it. I’m afraid the constant crying will hu...

Anyone else get EXTRA road rage when the kids are in the car?

Today on 3 different occasions a car swerved and cut in front of us without signaling or looking. The first 2 times it was just me and my husband and it annoyed us but the 3rd time was when we were picking the babies up from the sitter's and it absolutely enraged me, I wished I could've cussed them out 🙃

Kissing problem

It’s no surprise that my son has a kissing problem. I am constantly kissing him. He has not been around other LOs often and I am working on more time with kids his age. He tries to kiss strangers especially (but not limited to 😳) kids, he tries to kiss everything. Some kids are cool with it, most are not and…

Comparing babies

One of my close friends & I had babies at the same time which has been great in so many ways. But I can’t handle the comparison. My baby was late to sit independently, not an early roller or crawler, took forever to get the hang of weaning & is still doesn’t sleep through the night. Her baby sat up early, crawled ...

Screaming

Is there any way to stop my little boy from screaming? He screams out of anger or frustration and it’s so loud it pierces your ears. He doesn’t care who’s around him he will scream. I won’t shout at him, I can’t be stern because he seems to find it funny. What can I do as I don’t really care but it’s unfair for othe...
