Crawling/standing

Anyone else’s baby not making any attempt to crawl or stand? She won’t even stay on her tummy longer than like 20 seconds to even attempt it. If I try to hold her over a pillow or anything she just cries. I’m not even sure she can push herself up on her arms

Biting

My 14 month old is a major biter and I honestly can’t get him to stop no matter how much he is told and explained to way he can’t ( I know he’s young so this won’t really work ) everyone older I ask just says to bite him back but there is 0 chance of me letting anyone do that including myself ( they are old fashione...

Clingy babies

What do you guys do for fun?

What do you guys do with your crawlers for fun? My baby is 8 months old and I love getting out of the house for coffee or shopping, but I feel bad that he’s strapped in his car seat. I hate sitting at home all day.

Toddler hates the car seat, can’t travel anywhere 😭

Right there must be something broken from my end right? She can’t even last a half an hour journey, need constant stimulation, like playing songs, snacks, toys after a few mins she gets bored and we have the scream cries. It restricts me from going out, I see mums taking their children out and about by themselves an...

Baby walkers!

So I’m on baby nr3. My first 2 (now 12 & 6 yrs old had used baby walkers from 6months) and so far so good. I am aware of the dangers out there stated on the internet. My 3rd is going on 5 months and I am now in 2 minds, due to what’s out there on the internet. What are your thoughts?

4.5 Month Old Stopped Babbling as Offen. Is that normal?

When my baby turned 4 months old he was babbling up a storm but now he’s not babbling or using his voice as much. He still uses his voice it’s just not as constant as before. I did read online that this is normal for babies this age to put this skill on pause since he is currently learning other skills like rollin...

Baby’s first Christmas

How much are people getting their babies for Xmas? Mine will be five months by then and we’re getting her a little rocking chair and not much else. I feel like at this age they are not going to get that much use out of their toys for long and there’s no point buying bigger kid toys yet because I don’t know what kind...

Hitting Stage

I'm not sure if it's our little boy who does this. He keeps hitting smacking us when he doesn't get what he wants. I'm hoping it's just phase- as I'm not trying not to react to him.

Dealing with tantrums in public

How is everyone dealing with this? Today our little one was happily walking round town then stopped and lay on the floor screaming and banging his head. Tried calmly sitting with him quietly for a minute, cuddling him, nothing was working he was trying to kick us away. Eventually he stood up but just kept running in...

Speech Regressing 😵‍💫

I’m not majorly worried but can anybody relate? We’re due number 2 in Feb and our 3yo has started being very clingy and has almost regressed with her language to saying mumma dadda and general baby babble language and I don’t know why. She’s not behind on any milestones, generally average and although is less articu...
